People keep telling me that Lamar Odom is dead, but I haven't seen a news report about it. Is he just braindead but being kept alive for some reason?

I knew I should have. I looked up tickets, but the prices and the four hour drive made it complicated.

I'll always regret not being there, but holy shit that was amazing.

the mets will win tomorrow because otherwise it's too much blue and white left.

It's gonna be an awesome series watching the Royals tell the Jays to stop having so much fun.

Apparently they're technically different things. But being bothered by it is silly.


from baseball reference


"Ground rule double" is also colloquially used for doubles awarded because "a fair ball, touching the ground, bounds into the stands". This colloquial usage is technically incorrect as the ruling is applied equally in all ballparks and has nothing to do with "ground rules". Some commentators will use terms such as "bounce doubles", "rulebook doubles", or as Jon Miller prefers, "automatic doubles" in lieu of the misappropriation of "ground rule double". Until 1931, balls bouncing over the fence were counted as home runs, and this difference in playing rules is respected when tabulating historical statistics.
