I like how that one pickle ball is telling me “Big Crunch.”

I thought every other Carnegie library was repurposed into a bar and grill.

Yes, I read the post before commenting and why I called it clever.

That does not change the fact that 7-7-5-A is still an underwhelming poker hand, which in turn sends a mixed message, like Reno is the baseball team version of the 7-7-5-A hand.

I don't think the specific formula is spelled out in the CBA (or the letters of agreement that get attached to and incorporated into the CBA). It may just reference "by mutual agreement," and the subsequent memorialization is never made public.

It was a wrinkle added in the last CBA, and from what I remember, caused a minor celebration in the analytics community but also some apprehension (for lack of a better word) in the realization that what started as "fun with baseball math" was now being used to directly decide player compensation.

That's clever, but also a mediocre hand.

Yeah even if I wanted salad, I can bring a $3-$4 salad kit from the grocery store.

Duke would have won anyway by kicking the FG because UNC’s follow-up 2-minute drill was essentially throwing the ball into the turf 3 times before falling down backwards on 4th down.

I guess that also explains why I can never find fruit snacks in the pantry anymore.

San Jose State-San Diego State is where it’s at.
