Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network

Also, in case it hasn't already been mentioned, Google's marketing, at least in terms of trying to explain to poor people why they should give a shit, sucks . One hundred times faster than zero is... zero. Further up in this thread is my assessment of their performance at the Bluford Library a few ...

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality starts A while back we had the discussion about a rotation of five #3 starters, and what that would mean. True #1s are hard to come by and expensive if you do. I wondered what the Royals record was when they got a quality start (3 earned runs or less in six innings or more) and David Holtzm...

Someone check me on this, but I think at least one of the South Plaza fiberhood also had their number reduced.

Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network

Thank you for that update. Congrats to Center City!

Manheim's number has been reduced by about 30 houses. They still have 18 people preregistered, but only 35 more to go, instead of the 60-something they needed yesterday.

Sanchez in Colorado: 3 starts, 11.1 IP, 17H, 13ER, 15 Day DL. That trade's gotta be the highlight of the season.

Re: 2012 Election

Btw, I don't hate Government in the way that Libertarians probably do. I just want a Government that helps those who can't help themselves - not those who can help themselves but choose not to. I wish Government played a smaller role in our lives. Sure, it was the way I was raised. If you want some...

Re: Amenities missing from downtown

A City Sports would be great, even for midtown. Right now I have to drive from Linwood & Troost to the Dick's in Ward Parkway, which is ridiculous. Also, a Gary Gribble's in the River Market seems like a no-brainer.

What I said..... is that for several weeks the MSM told me that Ryan is a policy wonk, a total nerd, who enjoys taking food out of the mouth of my child.
