I needed this rec, thanks.

Is the right vs. left ear thing head canon? I like it, but I've never heard of that distinction...

Yeah, my sister-in-law has an iPhone and all of my wife's pics and videos turn to garbage in transit. For the longest my SIL just thought Android cameras were terrible and it locked her in to iPhones at upgrade time - which is exactly what Apple intended.

Hunter Pence is a great example, but one of the things that's great about baseball is that there is a place for every body type. If you're in shape (and sometimes even if not) no matter where your athletic gifts are, you can imagine a role on a baseball team.

Bartolo Colon was my pick for OP. If he can be an in demand pitcher into his 40s, any body type can.

I'm also glad to see Wayland tools maturing. The hand wringing about lack of X forwarding was always FUD and a nonsense reason to cling to the fiction that X works well over a socket and justify all the shitty compromises X made to remain compatible with it.

The Windows scheduler is so stupid chip manufacturers manipulate the BIOS/ACPI tables to force it to make better decisions (particularly with SMT) rather than wait on MS to fix it.

Linux just shrugs, figures out the thread topology anyway and makes the right decisions regardless.

Yes! Firing Shildt was a mistake, and Marmol's only qualification is that he wouldn't rock the boat.

I could be wrong but I think he's eyeing club manager, based on his work in Venezuela and the PR team. I'd take him as a pitching coach in a second though.

Totally agree. Yadi was basically another pitching coach behind the plate and knew each pitcher well. Contreras is just an okay catcher that can hit.

Personally, I think we'll drop Marmol for Yadi as soon as he's ready but that might be wishful thinking.

I'm a Cardinals fan and Lynn was a great workhorse for us years ago but I'm not sure this move really helps our terrible rotation. At least he can still eat innings, I guess.

Dodgers are NL Yankees confirmed.

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.
