SI Players Poll: MLB's Most Overrated Players:
Yankees make up top 3
1) Alex Rodriguez 18%
2) Joba Chamberlain 12%
3) Derek Jeter 7%
yes, a once-in-a-generation-type talent, a surefire HOFer who has accumulated 100+ WAR in his career, is totes overrated
so is… a middle reliever……?
(Jeter is probably the most actually overrated of these three and he’s still an inner-circle HOFer. So. Do cry moar.)
Haters gonna hate
“When a family is struck with tragedy — like the family of Joplin … let’s say if they had $10,000 set aside to do something else with, to buy a new car … and then they were struck with a sick member of the family or something, and needed to take that money to apply it to that, that’s what they would do, because families don’t have unlimited money. And, really, neither does the federal government.”

Eric Cantor explaining why Republicans won’t help natural disaster/Joplin victims without more budget cuts.
Also strangely, he’s describing a situation that argues for Health Care Reform since people don’t have unlimited funds they deserve to die when they run out.

FUCK THIS MOTHERFUCKER.
I want every single voter to read this quote and think about it, just for ten seconds. Hell, just for five seconds. I don’t need to point out that his position is heartless and vicious. However, I really want to draw attention to the particular amount he chose to use - ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand dollars. I’m not just outraged that he’s arguing a family should be happy to wipe out their savings to pay for healthcare. I’m also horrified (though not surprised) that he thinks ten thousand dollars would cover jack shit in the case of serious illness or injury. If you have a condition more serious than a cold, ten thousand dollars barely gets you in the door. Have a condition that requires surgery or a few nights in the hospital or physical therapy? Fuck you. Is more than one member of your family sick or injured? Fuck you. You still have to feed your kids and put a roof over their heads? Fuck you. Did you need that car you were saving for to get to work or school? Fuck you.
What’s that, victims of natural disasters? You lost your house and your means of transportation? You don’t know when you’ll be working again? You’re living off your savings? Your kids still need shelter and food and clothes and doctor’s visits and school supplies? Well, the Republican party has a message just for you. FUCK OFF AND DIE. You should have saved up a decade’s worth of income when you had the chance, whiners.

Yeah I didn’t consider how comically low that amount was. If there’s a serious illness in your family it’s not a matter of “well darn, now we can’t buy that subaru we were saving for” it’s a matter of “how the fuck are we going to pay the mortgage now?”

I recorded this on my cell phone because I could not believe what I was hearing. A middle-aged couple with their son are discussing Jared Lee Loughner.
Middle-aged man in an American flag t-shirt and cowboy hat ranting to his wife: “You know what’s crazy? That guy that shot the senator, they…
If I didn't know better, I'd think Posey died last night.
Yeah it’s a tad out of hand. Yes it’s a bummer but I’ll keep my prayers for people who are dying of cancer and the like.
