I was trying to buy something from a popular online retailer, and when I was going to purchase it said it wasn't available in my area and they didn't know when it would be available again. Out of curiosity, I changed the delivery address to my office, which is just a piece down the highway. The result basically changed to "yes, sir, we'll have that for you right away!".
Curry's out tonight with a hammy.
I know when I order a great hammy I'm out for several hours, too
Was looking at Bux' stats this morning, and was wondering how he sits among active career SB% leaders?
he's number 1 in all of baseball history at 89.2%
Alexi Casilla is 4th all-time (minimum 80)
I wouldn't have pegged him at #1, but certainly pretty high. I guess it depends on the cutoff # of attempts used.
Wolves favored by 10.5. That scares me.
Holy White Smoke, Batman. We have a new Pope.
Cards got off the schneid after going 0-3 at the plate.
And he's American!
It used to be said that the Vatican would never select an American for pope because America was already too politically powerful...
Well, sort of. He's more Peruvian.
He spent 11 years there compared to 30-ish in Chicago beforehand. Plus he's a Cubs fan.
Born vs chosen. Well, assigned...?
From the Repository, it looks like he was first in Peru in two stints, a year in the mid 1980s and then again from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. Add that on top of his episcopate and he’s well into a 20+ years in Peru.
Here's the tape.
From Jason Isbell:
Chicago Pope missed his chance to walk out to Jesus, Etc
heh, for sure.
I am pleased reporters did the work to get it right.
All things must pass.
Prior to the election I read well-respected bishops commenting to the effect that there wouldn't be an American pope until America was in political decline.
So, there's that.
I'm still waiting for a photoshopped Naz Reid towel held up in the crowd.
