Slyintine - September 5, 2009 reply
but when i do, i prefer cupie’s
an ump-cheated run taken off the board, we tag Greinke pretty well, and go down 1-0 into the 8th IF Lackey gets through this.

Kid probably doesn’t exactly know the nuances & back history of the monetarists vs. the Austrians, but at least he picked up the damned phone, etc.

Then he’s in danger of being called John “Monkeyboy” Lackey for the rest of his career.
Don’t want to get John out of his rhythm.
Cameraman likes her!
MY wife just called me sexist.

I want to take up a new hobby, model railroads.
Lackey!!!

BTW, has anyone seen how much of a proper nutjob the new First Lady of Japan is? She whacko!
Oh, you’re so…European.
I would think it is great big molten lakes of fire. Hopefully she thinks the Japanese PM’s junk is as big as Venus is big.
chicks i dated from the internet 9-10 years ago. Look pretty, nice, then… in a moment of intimacy… complete wackjobs not worth bangin.
to just tell yourself that you just didn’t want to bang’em, rather than admit the truth. ;-)
that’s why i date teh fatties
NEVER
not the hot chicks.
And there is an excuse if she’s…been around the block.
I asked Dad what he meant, and he said I’d find out :)

Sometimes I wish our guys never won any individual awards
IYKWIMAITYD.
rspencer - September 5, 2009
Its amazing to me that a guy with a 2.23 ERA
has 8 losses on the year…………
If Greinke was a Yankee or Red Sox he’d have 20 wins
norcaliangelsfan - September 5, 2009
Heck, if he were playing for us he'd have 18 or 19.
TheOptimist - September 5, 2009
speaks volumes of the shitty KC offense.
clover_black - September 5, 2009
If his team score just one run
He’s lucky to get any wins

Interesting piece. Kid who wrote it is like 12

Not entirely persuasive, but interesting nonetheless
UK Halo - September 5, 2009
We'll print a version in the mag
Kid probably doesn’t exactly know the nuances & back history of the monetarists vs. the Austrians, but at least he picked up the damned phone, etc.
mattwelch - September 5, 2009

There’s little that economic libertarians like more than arcane discussions about the dogmas of economic theory.
