Two gloves, but they're allowed to trade them back and forth. But they can't leave their designated position so they have to throw them really hard.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Normally, I'd think it's a good thing the Republicans are having to pay defense in long shot states. With Trump's current level of unpopularity, though, we might be better off if he was campaigning in Ohio or Iowa.

I'm sure Rubio will march right up to Trump and...oh right.

How unpopular is Donald Trump? So unpopular, he broke the axis on the realclearpolitics graph. October 1 vs October 2:

Listen, between the racists and the abusers, we're in a bit of a pickle. Only thing to do is support them and hope for the best.

Seems appropriate that the Giants finish the season without Vitello in the dugout to go along with the zero opening day players on the field.

I got back into the #sfgiants around 2000 after moving back to CA. You missed a fair bit of kookiness from those years: Dusty Baker and his toothpicks, "Who let the dogs out", and Kruk eliminating Dodger fans with the telestrator.
