he is exceptionally handsome and he has a no-hitter & perfect game going on.

cliche fail.
the true meaning of “prove” in its older form means “test” — this cliche actually means that exceptions or unusual cases “test” the rule, to see if it is valid. a rule should apply both to the typical and the exceptional case.

hey thats my post
wasn’t saying that he for sure had some sort of “relapse.” Just said what i saw. I doubt there is anything to it as there has been no mention of anything being wrong. Without looking at splits, my guess is TLR wanted to get Thurston’s LH bat in the lineup.
The real issue here is this is 2 games in a row that DeRo has missed, sandwiched in between an off day.

I don't think Thurston could even crack the Royals lineup
he sure as hell can’t hit as well as Callaspo, so he’s not playing second….I don’t think he’s even equal to Gordon….maybe they’d play him in the outfield. Although Hillman is so bad, there’s no telling what he’d do with him….
Maybe we could trade Thurston for Soria….
yeah, picking up

it's not in the glossary yet.
ironic.

Actually....
it was coined in the glossary…wasn’t it?
"Obviously, tipping pitches didn't help" - John Smotzl
yes.
Dan coined it, but it didn’t come into common use until fairly recently.
I’m just lazy.

OT: anybody here know how to write a letter of recommendation?
i need to write one for my old researcher from my last job
Well, for what it's worth, I usually do something along these lines...
Paragraph 1: How long you’ve known the person and in what capacity, which usually includes some description of your position/ role.
Middle paragraphs 2-3 (or 2-6 if you’ve got a lot to say): In each paragraph, elaborate on a particular aspect of the person’s work or areas in which you’ve known them. So, for example, for my advisor, I did one paragraph on her teaching, one on her advising and one on her research, as I’d worked with her in all three capacities. It’s easiest to write if you can tell one very specific story in each paragraph.
Last paragraph: Just a wrap-up…
But I’ve only every written rec’s for students or professors — so mostly in academia…

Dear Sir:
I recommend him/her for the position. Ever since he/she went into rehab for their animal sex addiction he/she shows up to work on time 75% of time and does not smell like a sheep.
PS
He/she does like to steal stuff so don’t leave your desk unlocked.
