Do we know that for sure or is that just his own speculation written as news?

Yes.

Do we know that for sure or is that just your own speculation written as TIME TO POST?

Why do you keep asking if any of us know the Cubs plans "for sure"?

Yeah, that's really not what I'm asking though.  I wanted to know if that's just Gonzales's opinion, or if that's something Theo and company have said that I missed.  We don't know their plans for sure, but we know what they've said their plans are.  I think this is pretty obvious shit here, but you asked.

Do Theo and Jed ever openly discuss concrete trade plans like that?

For that matter, do any front offices?

I think Theo and Jed have said they want to trade for good players.

That's the last straw. Jepstink is dead to me.

Take it away, Ben Stein:

In my mind, I am a young Southern politician. I go up to each person who looks at all interesting and say something like, "Hi, I'm George Wallace and if there's anything I can do for you here in Clio, Alabama, just let me know."

As I walked through SFO in search of my driver, I came across a stunningly beautiful, absolute knockout young Eurasian woman. She was lying on a bench right next to where my driver was supposed to be, so I sat down next to her and chatted her up.

I spoke to her for at most—absolutely most—five minutes. She told me she was half-Vietnamese and half-Dutch. She gave me her contact info and we have been in touch almost every day since.

Specifically, she wants Ben Stein to help her become a writer. She wants an agent—bad news for her since my literary agent, Lois Wallace, just died. She wants me to teach her how to be famous and successful as a writer—as if I knew. For a while I was churning out bestsellers right and left, especially about finance. But now I mostly write opinion pieces about defense and right to life and tax policy.

"and my penis."

She's thirty-two. She's a wild mixture of ethnicities and has a figure that is close to unbelievable. She works at a very high-end specialty store in downtown San Fran. She is a divorcee. She has a four-and-a-half-year-old daughter. She wants to be a movie star. She wants me to help with her bills. I was almost speechless at her beauty, but I also could not quite believe how many boyfriends she's had, including very famous movie, TV, music, and sports stars. If that's her type—and God bless her if it is—she's not really likely to see much in a sixty-nine-year-old, overweight, nerdy economist/commentator who can barely put on his socks. I told her that and she just laughed. She said she wanted to come visit me in L.A.

"I want to stay at the Beverly Wilshire," she said. "That's my hotel in L.A. It's right in the middle of Beverly Hills, which is where I like to be."

"Honey," I said after a quick text to my travel agent, "rooms there are about twelve hundred a night for when you want to be in L.A."

"So?" she asked with a slightly hurt look.

These two episodes are typical of my life when I am traveling. My main obsessions in my life are my wife, my dog, my son and his family, my secret gf from Mississippi, and any beautiful girl I meet. I am like a teenager. I get mad crushes and they last about ten minutes. Maybe less. Then it's off to do the next indicated action. Usually that consists of getting on an airplane.

The audience for the speech was great. Got all of my jokes. APPLAUDED AT THE RIGHT MOMENTS. Gave me a long standing ovation. We love Augusta. No sign of the beautiful cocktail party girl but the three glorious co-eds were there, beaming, cheerful, lovely. I think I will bring them out to L.A. on granddad's jet.

Speaking of presidents, has anyone noticed that in terms of foreign and defense policy, Mr. Obama is simply AWOL?

THANKS OBUMMER

While baseball isn't a celestial game being run by a dice-rolling game-master, the premise makes a bit of sense

No, no it doesn't. Sorry.

I'm impressed you got that far. There's nothing better than an article in which the very first sentence is incorrect.

Occam's Razor is a belief that "the easiest explanation is often the best explanation."

No as this may be the first thing I've seen that is literally Totally Unreadable (and I occasionally have to review portions of the US Tax code).

Lots of people giving recs and LSAs in the comments about what a great read it was.  (One even called it an example of great "analysis.")  Because BCB.

I think I laughed harder at this than anything I've seen on Desipio in 2014.  Kudos, you fat bastard.

The same guy was responsible for this abortion from April, in which he belched out over 2000 words to say literally nothing about his nominal topic whatsoever.

It's a distinct possibility that Al isn't even the worst thing about BCB.
