Look at his perennially low walk totals and his lack of power production, especially for a corner outfielder. With 214 hits last year, he managed to put up an OPS of only .754, with only 45 walks and negligible power stats. He'd have value as a table-setter if the team ...

Hard to get past the fact that it all looks like a dog's breakfast. (Which doesn't necessarily make it bad bar food.)

Jacobs does have fine deli, which I've tried at the U District store and the Pike Place kiosk. His half-sours are good, as are those at Goldbergs deli in Factoria Mall. But what we still don't have here, and won't until someone starts making them locally, are "new" pickles, which ...

Kotchman batting third told us everything we needed to know about this year's team. Don't count on the pitching to bail the M's out, either -- an offense this bad can grind down the pitchers when they know there's no room for error.

Phil Spackman: What the heck are you talking about?

By all means, let's discuss that obnoxious insularity of yours.

If your priorities include empty symbolic gestures, then go ahead with your divorce. Evidently those priorities don't include basic civic responsibilities; those of us who are serious about voting make sure they know the requirements right after moving to a new place. Spare us your guilt-tinged drama, please.

Chuck: I don't think your analysis accounts for the readers who used to take both papers (as I did). How many were there when the P-I folded? That entire number vanished, and it makes the drop from combined circ to the current Times circ look much worse. I'm more interested ...

Blah blah blah, PJS? When you give examples of this quality, it's an open invitation to disregard everything else you say. You're bringing a water balloon to a gunfight.

Bad example, PJS. Texas' surplus was achieved largely on the strength of federal stimulus funds and higher oil revenues, and it's illusory. When you take into account the spending required on K-12 and higher education, plus health and human services entitlements and other obligations, it goes up in smoke. Also, ...
