Oh right, there’s a game today. Same pitching matchup as Saturday. I went with a friend and we had cocktails at the Chophouse. They were rancid. My margarita tasted like salt and paint thinner. So we bailed on that and went to Happy Donuts instead. I had a chocolate donut and milk, and it was FTW.

Have you seen my aces margarita recipe?
it follows the K.I.S.S. rule
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
First, you have to get the "Tres Agaves" brand agave syrup
It tastes strongly of agave, which others don’t.
1 oz. of that.
1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice.
2 oz of tequila
Fill the rest of the glass with soda water
Trust me- kicks ass.

A ditto was a weird alternative to photocopies

I lose all credibility sometimes by actually enjoying stuff with ingredients I loathe. Still, you won’t find me going near an energy drink (nor a margarita mix, since I started doing things this way). But hey, to each their own- ENJOY!
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
To each their own
Absolutely. I made a weird drink just with stuff I had lying around and it ended up hella good. It was soju, Bokbunjajoo (Korean black raspberry wine), and sweet and sour. A friend dubbed it “The Buddy” after my beloved Siamese cat who had a few days prior. I made the Buddy for my mom’s boyfriend whatever guy and he said it was called the Buddy because “after one of these, everyone’s your buddy.”

Actually the use of “they” as a gender neutral singular pronoun has a long history and is considered okay by most grammarians. It wasn’t until the 19th century when people decided it was wrong.

Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.
not a style guide, but
These files contain a list of over 75 occurrences of the words “they”/“their”/“them”/“themselves” referring to a singular antecedent with indefinite or generic meaning in Jane Austen’s writings (mainly in her six novels), as well as further examples of singular “their” etc. from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and elsewhere. While your high-school English teacher may have told you not to use this construction, it actually dates back to at least the 14th century, and was used by the following authors (among others) in addition to Jane Austen: Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, the King James Bible, The Spectator, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Frances Sheridan, Oliver Goldsmith, Henry Fielding, Maria Edgeworth, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, William Makepeace Thackeray, Sir Walter Scott, George Eliot [Mary Anne Evans], Charles Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, John Ruskin, Robert Louis Stevenson, Walt Whitman, George Bernard Shaw, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton, W. H. Auden, Lord Dunsany, George Orwell, and C. S. Lewis.
Singular “their” etc., was an accepted part of the English language before the 18th-century grammarians started making arbitrary judgements as to what is “good English” and “bad English”, based on a kind of pseudo-“logic” deduced from the Latin language, that has nothing whatever to do with English. (See the 1975 journal article by Anne Bodine in the bibliography.) And even after the old-line grammarians put it under their ban, this anathematized singular “their” construction never stopped being used by English-speakers, both orally and by serious literary writers. So it’s time for anyone who still thinks that singular “their” is so-called “bad grammar” to get rid of their prejudices and pedantry!

here you go
The Cambridge Guide to English Usage (2004) expresses several preferences. “Generic/universal their provides a gender-free pronoun, avoiding the exclusive his and the clumsy his/her.”
It avoids gratuitous sexism and gives the statement broadest reference. …
They, them, their are now freely used in agreement with singular indefinite pronouns and determiners, those with universal implications such as any(one), every(one), no(one), as well as each and some(one), whose reference is often more individual. … For those listening or reading, it has become unremarkable – an element of common usage

Giants fans are still operating under the assumption that they’re the NL West team most likely to represent a threat to the Dodgers this season

This was a few years ago before Lincecum was drafted and was a potential M’s pick. Still, it’s a pretty funny thing to say in retrospect. I like Cameron, a lot, as a baseball analyst. But he comes off dickish a good portion of the time.
Here’s the actual quote.
No – Lincecum has crazy, lights out stuff. His fastball is 95-98, and he maintains his velocity late in games. His curveball has some serious drop, and he throws it with power.
He’s nothing like Takatsu, really. He’s more like Kerry Wood, but 5 inches shorter, 100 pounds lighter, and with worse mechanics.
So, it’s not like he was saying he totally sucked or anything. But, it’s still funny to me.

I like Bengie Molina.
He hits home runs for the Giants from what I hear.

Remember that game during the 73 HR season when Bonds hit three in one game at Coors? That was fun. Let’s see that again.
Billy Ripken is not a fuck face
He’d better get on it.
