Disagree about the Pujols part, but I also think he should have stayed with the bunt. DP is the worst possible outcome in that situation. Hell, a strikeout hurts much less than that. ...

Dude, I'm not trying to cover up for anyone. I don't like this administration at all and there's plenty about this that is wrong. My point is that the NOTAM sent out by the AF isn't part of a cover up or trying to deny anyone any freedoms. It is simply to maintain the integrity of our unclassifi...

384 * 22 = 8448, not 7524
342 * 22 would be 7524
