Marlins fans

"And got all the Marlins fans mad at me."
So, 5 people yelled at you?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

Hey, I said 15!

1:02

Marlins were bad enough that I brought out the limerick.

There once was a Marlin named Don
Who insisted the game must go on
Too bad for the fact,
that science he lacked,
and you can't bluff a virus with brawn

If the league stands by their ruling that it's ok to leave players down a few games, doesn't that precedent set the rule?

Dan Szymborski

1:03

There's no such ruling that removes the good faith requirement that it's based on skill and ability.

Again, Bryant didn't win because he couldn't *prove* it.

If you eat my sandwich and I don't have any proof, you'll be found not guilty in a court of culinary law.

1:04

But that doesn't set the precedent that you can just come into my house and eat my sandwich.

It just means that I'm locking my doors and getting gun, you dirty sandwich thief!

BUY YOUR OWN CHEESE, GOLDDIGGER

OK then

If I eat your sandwich every single day and you always say it's ok, haven't we established a rule?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Bryant didn't say it was OK.

Bueller

The proof is in the pudding.

Dan Szymborski

1:05

The proof of the pudding *is in the eating*

Friend

The pudding is in the proof

Dan Szymborski

IT'S NOT LITERALLY IN THE PUDDING

OK, 1 PM and I have radio and podcasts to do.

Thanks for coming y'all!

The question velocity is way up, so I sadly wasn't able to answer as many as during the sadly baseball-less April-June.
