what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

I’ve hated James Carville for decades, ever since he appeared as a ringer in a college debate on behalf of an out-of-control dean to punish and humiliate some older, non-traditional students who were in trouble for starting their own fraternity.
