movie-wise

She cried at the end of cool runnings

She didn't see the Star Wars movies until she was an adult. I watched Return of the Jedi with her and she was crying towards the end. She even shouted, in tears "Luke, let go of your hate!"

1:08

She cried more for Return of the Jedi than for having a baby last week!

Is Josh Donaldson droppable in a 12 teamer?

Dan Szymborski

1:08

No

How exactly does a player improve plate discipline? With reaction time and pitch & location recognition it seems like it would be so hard to improve other than just seeing a TON of various pitches/deliveries - which of course is hard if you are benched, young, etc.

Dan Szymborski

1:08

The way you improve everything: practice

Believe in intellectual property protection by force of law?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

I'm actually torn and still pinning down my exact beliefs. I don't think it ought to be in the *criminal* realm, but I'm still not positive on the nature of an idea in this context. Physical property is easier

Confused Foodie

1:09

Beer, Pizza, Pasta....I can never remember the 4th food group?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

Taco.

If you ran a meth operation, you surely would be smart enough not to consume your own potential revenues, right?

Dan Szymborski

1:09

I would hope so.

Best game show?

Dan Szymborski

1:10

Press Your Luck!

Also honorable mention for Name That Tune

1:11

Because the format was awesome.

"You know what, I can name that tune in ONE note!"

<B-flat plays>

"Why, that's My Blue Heaven by Walter Donaldson!"

<wins money>

I feel like bacon is in fact an extremely controversial food given the amount of religions that don't eat pork

Dan Szymborski

1:12

That just increases the bacon reserves for everyone else

Morbo

1:12

Man, Dan doesn't like my comments today, and that makes me a sad news monster

Jason

1:12

The day of the draft and this is your chat. Where’s Kylie when you need him

Dan Szymborski

1:12

They're chatting later!

T-dog

Most beers Dan has drank in a day? (Approx)

Dan Szymborski

1:12

20

T-dog

more exciting play: triple or diving catch?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

triple play

I guess I have to chose one of those?

Triple

1:13

Because some diving catches wouldn't have been diving catches for better players and that knowledge upsets me

Optimist or idiot?

1:13

Jason Vargas has given up only 1 run in 5 of 8 starts, and 2,3, and 4 in the other 3 starts. Any chance he's been better than he's given credit for?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

No

Sean

1:13

What game(s) have you been playing lately?

Dan Szymborski

1:13

Total War: Three Kingdoms

Slurve

How exactly do the Yankees get away with the no facial hair thing? Has it ever been challenged legally?

Dan Szymborski

1:14

I guess technically it could be somehow?
