Argyle is the best character in Die Hard, yes or yes?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

It's unsung hero Theo, who had more technical expertise than everyone and didn't hurt anyone!

Plus, he was in Top Gun

CoopDeVille

Which pitcher is closer to becoming an ace in 2019.... German Marquez or Jack Flaherty?

Dan Szymborski

12:33

German, he arguably was one!

Matt

12:33

Bring me chili, Dan.

Dan Szymborski

12:33

Ut;s bit gard ti naje!'

Err It's not hard to make!

12:34

Hmm is Swedish just English if your hand isn't in the right place when talking?

Well typing?

If you were a team that could privately set up an NFL combine-type deal for baseball, what would you measure ( other than obvious ones like sprint speed or velocity of a throw)? Agility? Throw accuracy? Ability to scoop up short hops? What would you be interested in?

Dan Szymborski

12:34

I want to see players do the American Ninja course stuff

What’s your usual defense against 1. d4? Do you accept or decline the queens gambit if tried, or do you go for the Indian defense?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

1...f5

Matt

12:35

Don't you think it's about time you start crediting the creator of ZiPS?

Dan Szymborski

12:35

It's not like he's getting out of the oubliette

OddBall Herrera

How about Ryan McMahon to the Padres for Myers + some salary relief? Makes non-zero amounts of sense...

Dan Szymborski

12:36

It woudlnt' be crazy. The Rockies would at least give Myers the job on a silver platter

Who is your personal favorite band?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

decemberists

Paul

12:36

Where can I put my gum?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Under your table. I mean it's not my table, so I don't care what you do with your table or desk

Mike

12:37

Is vegetarian chili, chili?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

Why can't vegetarians just eat vegetables?

You don't see hamburger eaters trying to make broccoli that's made of hamburger meat and call it carnivorous broccoli

12:39

Now, there's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian and I have a hard time sometimes because I think it's more consistent with my ethical worldview, but I don't get why vegetarians want to cosplay as meat eaters

"I think it's wrong to kill pigs, but I still want my teeth and stomach to get the idea that's what I'm doing!" sounds a little serial killery to me
