  • Baseball specific one: “ground-rule double” colloquially used almost all the time to mean “automatic double.” If a batted ball bounces on the warning track and goes over an outfield wall, it’s an “automatic double,” that’s what it’s called in the rulebook and that’s a universal rule regardless of what ballpark the game is played at. “Ground rules” are specific to the ballpark, like a ball getting stuck in the ivy at Wrigley Field, or the catwalks on the dome in Tampa. One of those catwalks is a ground-rule home run, but nobody ever says that. For some reason, “ground-rule double” is ubiquitous for automatic double, but actual ground-rule stuff is very rare.

    He just died? You’re telling me this for the first time. What can you say? I guess the donuts he bought didn’t “make sense!” Very sad, very very sad. I could understand if it was Krispy Kreme Christie but JD was a handsome healthy young man. I guess his heart just “wasn’t in it.” Not the first “Hillbilly Elegy” from him! But we’re very excited about RFK Jr. Hopefully they don’t have a Sirhan Sirhan Jr! I guess we’ll all find out. Thank you folks.



  • Not really on topic but it’s wild to me that libs have essentially memory holed that Joe Biden is still the president and is completely senile and doesn’t do anything and everything just keeps moving along like it’s normal. Kamala is basically running like she’s already won and an incumbent seeking a second term and none of the people who were saying pointing out Joe’s “stutter” is ableist and ageist have anything to say about how there functionally isn’t a president now but there’s been no appreciable change in policy.
