A Bleacher Report thread about WAC realignment? You're yelling at the dog for taking a dump in the cat's litter box.

I'm forcefully adopting the SUMG "RIP University of North Texas athletics" stance on the issue.

I've heard some strong rumors out of downtown Dallas about the need to form a secret committee with 4-6 specially selected members chosen from a pool of the same 8 people who've been posting about realignment for 6 years. They really want to find the best poster from Texas State as well and have narrowed that list to 4 candidates, with TulsaFaninTexas considered the wild card to replace all four. More in VVIP.

Italy is out. Diving should be greatly reduced moving forward.

My vote is for obituaries - or continuous praise of SUMG. The very rare and confusing Larry Teis joke series is also in play.

Do you want us to respond to the title or the confusingly worded Ron Washington questions? Title: No, but they are an above average team playing a soft part of the schedule very well Q1: Yes Q2: No, but what does that have to do with anything 71 games later? He could easily be snorting his next line off the manager of the year award.

You could have brought up Kerry Wood pages ago and won this battle much quicker.

The onus is on her.

Look out that window.

First, thank you for not doing the wave when the Nationals played the White Sox. Second, now that you've seen him, should Strasburg be in the Hall of Fame in five years while still an active player?

There's a roundtable I just heard on the radio that would love to tackle this response with you.

Two objections: 1. They could have brought him up in that competitive series before the Pirates came to town and still not lost the year of control. They knew what they were doing. 2. As I'm typing this, I'm taking a dump that could play .600 baseball in the NL Central. Wait, I guess that's an agreement. I had one objection then.

Well, since every team deserves a rep, this isn't even about much more than whether or not it would be better to send Adam Dunn, Pudge or Strasburg. Since he's a late edition anyway with 4-5 more starts to make, let's see if he can win 5 and keep the ERA under 2.50. Stanton still sucks.

1. Yes 2. No

Based on how fun it is, I am guessing this was Satan's opening line when he took Jesus into the desert.

The flyer/email just said Fouts. Hopefully there won't be a giant storm this year. I only like sloshin' through that much mud after a good night at S4.

Anyone have any good anecdotes about a guy that met from a school that said a cliche term about another school once or twice? We need to settle this conclusively! I heard Dr. Larry Teis say it once after one too many cosmos. Matter = resolved.

Look, we all know KRAM is great and does more before 8 a.m. than most fans do in a lifetime. Can we focus on how Norm seems a bit testy whenever Mr. Bass overpraises Strasburg and keeps mentioning his tailor-made pitching schedule during his debut? EDIT: I called him Stanton. Eff me.

I am considering Scheppers to be a deadline acquisition since his promotion should be around then. Perez is off limits unless it gets us Greinke. Of the other four, I'd do Kiker and Font without hesitation, and the other two with just a little more.

Please elaborate -- both on what's been righted and how it should be dismantled.

I have a strict no-A's castoff policy. If that many guys can pitch well in that park and nowhere else except the NL JV league, then eff them. Oswalt for Profar (sp?), Davis and a pitching prospect or two intrigues me -- especially with two more years, but Lee has proven he can do it in the AL.

I agree - and I love our friendly ying/yang situation. I get to rejoice now, and you'll probably have your moment when we play the Yankees and Red Sox over and over again after the All Star break. It's 162 games...plenty of ebbs, flows and co-douchery to come.

We are playing Houston - it's just not for sure the first game. Games can change, road games can change and other factors might have changed what people were hearing 3-4 weeks ago. Right now, it's safe to assume no one knows the opening opponent, but I'd say we can feel good that Houston will be an opponent. VVIP for more.

All that matters is you stood up for yourself using logic and reason and came away from this representing the think tank well. +1.
