One gets the impression the lions know what a 10 foot long baseball bat will do to their heads.

Kawasaki is the best, he has an infectious personality. I'm also convinced he speaks perfect English and is just trolling the media. Not the best baseball player, but the Toronto fans love him. =)

Needs a *canada tag.

Depends on what you're into. In terms of tenderness, Filet Mignon basically trumps because it's insanely soft, even when cooked up to well-done.

If you want a flavourful steak, go for anything with a "Bone In". That would be a rib-eye, bone in rib steak, T-bone, etc. Typically they're more flavourful steaks because they tend to be "fattier", and fat = taste.

The "baseball" and "coulotte" steaks are typically beef for the sake of beef, usually not going to be the focus of your dish, it'll be something that gets topped off with blue cheese or garlic butter as another type of flavour.

Flank, Skirt, "hanger" and most other types of steaks are also not typically the focus of your meal, but will usually be cooked up for other parts of it. (Order steak fajitas at a restaurant? 90% chance it's one of these three steaks.)

The key factor to almost all of them though is marbleization, which refers to the amount of good fat that's weaved its way through the cut. It may look gross when raw because it's honestly like a buncha white shit on your steak but once that's cooked up that's where the flavour comes from.

My personal choice for a steak is the Bone-in wing steak. It's effectively a giant slice of prime rib roast that's been cooked up like a steak. Very tender, lots of flavour, and at the end, as long as you don't mind looking like a neanderthal, you can actually just chew the meat off the bone for some of the most tender / tasty steak you'll ever have.

Actually, they just didn't want their bad ass smart dinos named "Achillobators" and thought Velociraptor was "more cool".

Otherwise, the JP "velociraptors" were somewhat accurate except for their lack of feathers.

...and judging by the head, the baseball dino is a baby TRex.

You would think Superman would have learned not to carelessly hit baseballs in random directions after that first incident (sure, he saved Sandra Bullock that time, still killed a dude first).

Anyone remember the commercial that was on the VHS for the original TMNT. This song verse may jog your memory... "Suddenly everyone's looking at me, my mind could be wondering what could it be, they point to the sky and I look up above, and a baseball falls into my glove". I watched that damn movie so much as a kid I can remember the freaking horrible commercials lyrics years after...

Worst kind of presentation -
it fails;
the presenter makes it all about them (instead of an idea, a lesson, an event);
they don't know the reason they're talking (what? Agriculture?);
they talk inside baseball (the time they have left, they don't know what they're talking about;
holds the audience hostage for their own amusement (that awkward clapping at the beginning).

Shudder shudder shudder.

Its perfect they have all been stashed away pretty much since i bought them back then.
I also have crazy amounts of old baseball cards and old video games(new unopened games) from when i was a game dealer. I just never have looked into how much the stuff is worth. It actually gives me anxiety now that i know. I guess one day i may look into the stuff. Probably when i need the money.

Wow, that guy really lucked out that there happened to be a baseball
field nearby right when the engine broke down. Look at the rest of the landscape, nothing but houses and trees.

Not sure quite exactly what you're referring to.

If you're talking about the fact that there's entertainment (i.e. the kiss-cam in question) it's because unlike most non-american sports, we have breaks in ours. Baseball has innings, so during the change between players at bat / players on the field, they'll go to a commercial break on t.v., but if you're actually in the park they typically try to bring out a "Quick Cleaning" crew to watch, or the mascot will dance or something

Same thing for football, except footballs entertainment is basically cheerleaders and the half time show.

Hockey, however, has 3 periods, at the end of each they bring out the Zamboni to clean the ice, making entertainment on the ice itself impossible, so they do things with the jumbo-cam, like the kiss-cam, to keep people entertained until the next period starts.
