Is it morally ok to watch movies given Hollywood's shameful treatment of legendary actress Lori Loughlin?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

lol

Giordano's is crap pizza, and shouldn't be uttered in the same conversation as Lou's.

Dan Szymborski

12:47

I'm not joining this argument! WHen I mentioned there was a place in my area, my twitter timeline turned into people arguing about it

and telling me OTHER places to go in Chicago

12:48

WHen the whoe point was that this one was 20 minutes away from me because I live in Ohio

Anyway, I'll take art for art

12:49

When I hear a symphony, I don't really care about who wrote it

Meg seems negative about trader jerry's future with the Mariners. Any thoughts about how long he will last?

Dan Szymborski

12:49

Depends on results

I like to imagine that as Dipoto feels pressure, the trades start coming fast and furious to the extent that he's trading prospects before he acquires them, leading him into making constant trades because he's kiting prospects.

"WE NEED TO ACQUIRE YUSNIEL DIAZ RIGHT NOW?" "Why Jerry?" "BECAUSE I TRADED HIM TO THE BREWERS ON THURSDAY AND THEY'RE ASKING ME WHY HE HASN'T ARRIVED YET."

Any indication Puig ever breaks out of this funk, or is this a season long slump he's in?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I'm quite worried.

I think the Dodgers did a better job restraining his weaker instincts at the plate

Hey Dan! Can we talk about David Ortiz? First, prayers are with him. Second - and not important, just have to ask - does this incident buy him immunity from the ped discussion when his HOF voting comes up? I mean, parts of 3 organs removed.. Gnarly.

Dan Szymborski

12:51

I think he probably had immunity anyway

12:52

PED immunity is always given arbitrarily

If Jeter had tested positive for something, a lot of writers would just assume that Jeter enhanced the steroids, not the other way around

with Giolito thriving and the eventual call up of Cease, do you think White Sox could finish the year at .500?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

Es possible

Matt

I think Bumgarner is kinda a douche, and needs to chill out. That said, doesn't he have a point that his behavior is just him being him? Let the kid play. (Just don't hit people)

Dan Szymborski

12:53

I don't mind trash-talking and stuff. I just don't want people to take cheap shots that physically risk the health of other people.

Re Earth Sandwich: Are you saying that a sandwich is not a sandwich unless the top and bottom bread is placed in perfect synchronicity, and this is no room for error?

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Not perfect, but it has to be some margin of error

maybe within 5%?

Like at least 95% of the bread has to be parallel to another piece of bread?

It's not like I have a ruler with sandwiches

Yelich is 5 HRs away from surpassing his preseason ZiPS projection and we haven't even hit the ASB

Dan Szymborski

12:53

He good

ROBOCOP

what does your ideal 2019 Home Run derby field look like?

Dan Szymborski

12:54

PITCHERS

Let's do a pitcher one one year!

Dbo

12:54

Hang on, someone needs to be holding the bread for it to be a sandwich? So if a sandwich is sitting on the counter but no one is holding it, is it therefore both a sandwich and not a sandwich? Schrodingers Sandwich

Dan Szymborski

12:54

But the earth isn't on a plate

it's just kinda floating around

Planet Dust

12:54

US doesn't have an antipode that would work. Spain-New Zealand is an option though, I think. Among others.

Dan Szymborski

12:54

I dunno, it could be an french dip earth sandwich with the ocean
