Even by not-America standards, Ürümqi is in the middle of nowhere. As I recall, it’s the furthest major city from the ocean in the world.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
A true American has no idea about any of that. There is the US, the countries that we have invaded or otherwise been involved in militarily (and of those, only WW1 and after qualify.) and a bunch of bumfuck nowhere, ‘dragons be here’ kind of shit. It’s likely he thinks he’s playing in Turkey.
Canada and Mexico can be acknowledged to exist, but too much actual knowledge of them is suspect. Cold War secret proxy wars don’t count.

"They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." ~ Gaylord Perry
The flight was a bit of a surprise as apparently Delta takes a more mid-latitude route SFO-NRT than I remember Northwest. Passing right over Midway. It was a little bumpier closer to North America flying over the fronts extending from the Gulf of Alaska, but clear and solid all the way into Japan. Once I took my second .5 Xanax I was calm enough. Didn’t sleep until NRT-MNL though, which is only 3.5 hours, and was a little bumpy as it hugged the Ryukyu Islands. Did manage to see Okinawa, all lit up at night, passing by.
Dad is still in ICU recovery but he’s awake, alert, and asked me what the score of Game 1 was.

I think you can get the title and the non-op permit without smogging it. To register it you will need the smog cert. The DMV is probably a better source than me though.

Aaron Rowand’s meaningless triple in that game was almost certainly his third-best moment as a Giant. Also I find it amusing that Bochy was playing matchups even when up six runs.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
What are the others?
Skipping the cutoff man (as usual) to get the runner at the plate in the NLCS, and his leaping catch in the no-hitter?
I’d put his 9th inning, 2-out bomb off Nuñez in Florida up there.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
Those were the two that I was thinking of. The home run in Miami is another one that works; I had forgotten about that one. At the end of that game, he was hitting .327/.362/.509 for the year; over the remainder of his Giants career, he hit .222/.270/.349.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
.222/.270/.349 also translates as
putrid.

We should have nationalized. I have a buddy — who, naturally, works on Wall Street — who would have been just the coldhearted bastard to put in charge of it. He would have smiled as he told his recent peers that their bonus was not being fired. It would have been great.
Obama was too nice.
If they were truly too big to fail, then nationalization was the only remotely fair option.

I think the situations are a little different though. If it’s totally wide, then yeah, it’s on the catcher. If it ticks off the 2B’s glove and trickles out into RF, I don’t think that’s on the catcher.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
That throw from RF was way totally wide though – it was headed for the pitching rubber, that’s where a throw from CF to home should cross, not a throw from RF to home. The ball only ticked off Pujols’ glove because he made an effort to go get it.

I know the numbers your talking about were pretty high at the apex of the war I will admit I don’t know the numbers now of govt employed private contracts. However, a lot of those contractors were serviced and supplemented things the military was doing so I imagine those numbers will go down significantly as well.
My opinion would depend on the numbers/budget allocated to those contractors. However, I consider an official military pullout to be significant.

Check out ESPN’s Sweet Spot blog- a nice combo of stats based analysis and non-stats based analysis. They’ve been going through each managerial decisions one-by-one and analyzing them on whether it was a good call or not and why. I don’t necessarily believe every manager’s decision really affects the game (Motte was looking pretty bad so going to Rhodes might not have been a bad call) but still interesting stuff.

I love all the breakdowns of managerial moves and how they’re treated like a chess match but the reality is that the stats could say something’s obvious and it still wouldn’t work. Sometimes things happen. If Cruz got a better jump, the Cardinals don’t win on Wednesday. If the ball to Pujols is more on the line, none of that would have happened.
On the other hand, nobody thinks going to Rhodes was the right idea.

They should have put Mote in the outfield for one batter
and then put him back in to pitch after Rhodes faces Hamilton.
