If you pay attention to Minority Report, then the gooey happy ending is actually deeply sad and haunting. It *is* too happy, almost like what we are told the prisoners in their sleep tubes dream about...

Paul Goldschmidt deserves MVP votes. He really has been a blessing for The Yankees. Clutch clutch clutch.

People need to stop using the word "worst" and its variations on a daily basis. If a Spielberg movie is one of the "worst" movies you've ever seen, I don't know how to take you seriously. Worst worst worst. It's like "slop"—a worthless word by now.

Volpe is bad at baseball.
David Cone on Anthony Volpe:
"When you come in as a pinch runner you gotta know how many outs there are. You're just going. There's no reason to look back or hesitate. There's two outs. Just go."

I have very few encounters with people that I enjoy. I'm happiest being alone with a computer and some books.

Every day of my life is controlled by dementia. It's exhausting. So much screaming...

People mocked David Foster Wallace for assigning to his students Thomas Harris. But he was right: dude is one of the greats.

I have Nolan maybe top ten, but definitely not top five. For starters: Seaver, Spahn, Walter Johnson, Maddux, Clemens, Pedro, Gibson, Koufax, Randy Johnson.

Yep he was absolutely great, but some people say he’s a Top 5 SP of all-time when he definitely wasn’t
