See ya Dunn. How many walk-off homers did he hit during his WS tenure?

I really want Viciedo gone.

Solid stuff bro.

Robin really can't do anything about the scrubs on his roster. The only quality hitters his has is probably Abreu and Gillaspie. The rest are pretty much dog s***.

I got an offer for a position with a small company as a chemist albeit contract to hire. A company that I interviewed with back in late June, early July did not offer me a position for a permanent chemist role but they wanted to consider me for the contractor role (contract to hire as well). The guy who interviewed me kept asking over and over again over the span of a couple weeks if I was still available for the role and keeping me updated to their progress. Moving forward, I sent an email before I accepted my offer at the smaller company last week to let the guy know I had a tentative offer on the table. I received no response so I took the offer at the smaller company. I get an email yesterday from the guy who replies to my email from last week. He said, "If you have an offer, take it because I don't think we will be able to offer you a position at this point." I already accepted the offer so it's no skin off my back. This morning, he said to disregard the email and that I was going to get an offer. I already took the offer at the smaller company and had a start date at the new company. The rate of pay for both positions are the same. Is it possible to play this situation to get more money? How does it effect one's reputation for backing out of an offer to take a different one? Any thoughts are appreciated.

When people say they want justice for Mike Brown, do they just want the officer(s) prosecuted for murder?

Both of your methods work. There is no right or wrong. Just preference. Of course you already knew this. If something is not dishwasher kosher, I use a dish wand to wash it, and then cold water to rinse.

Obviously both sides are guilty of wrongdoing. That being said I am finding hard to find empathy. Mike Brown was doing stereotypical black male actions. He was not minding his own business. He was doing criminal acts, not that the cop that shot him knew that. Now I'm not condoning the use lethal force on the kid but cops are human too. A lot of the decisions they have to make have to be quick where hesitation can get you or others killed. I think people that believe that all cops kill blacks kids for lolz are being disingenuous. Mike Brown is a tragedy but sadly s*** like this goes on everyday. Does that mean we accept it? No, but the looting, civil disobedience, and overall chaos in Ferguson is not going to bring that kid back.

Time to send in the drones.

I had a damn typo in my email. I tripled checked it and still missed it. Oh well. This might backfire.

Well bollocks. I just haven't been doing that. Not that I know whether it would make or break it. I had an interview today so I'll be sure to send a follow-up email stating my gratitude for the interview and their time. It was a company based in New Zealand so I had a couple of cute girls interviewing me with those accents.

Silly question, but could a thank you gesture of any sort make or break an individual getting a position?

Is it a common practice to mail thank you cards to your interviewer(s)?

I LOVE this trade rumor.

Good or bad is subjective. It's like asking is morality relative or universal. An honor killing could be considered a good act by some and bad by others. No black and white, just grey.

Meh they won 2 of 3, if they did that the rest of the way, I'm sure noone would complain.

Umpiring has been pretty bad this series.

Fun game I was there. Was the upside down K for Eaton legit because he seemed pretty pissed.

Not sure if there is a topic for this but If there is, I figure the admins will make quick work of it. What is the generally rule of thumb regarding rent and your salary? (i.e. Rent should not exceed 1/3 of your gross monthly salary)

This is f***ing horrible news.

They should get the application fee since they ran a check on us. They gave her all of it back minus $280. I think now that she has her money she can be a little more aggressive?
