Yankee attendance was 3.3 million in 2019. Gerrit Cole will get $10.90 for every ticket sold at yankee stadium over the next 9 years. The average pitches per game for starting pitchers was 146 in 2019. On a 5 game rotation he would pitch 33 games in a season so 4,818 pitches a season so 43,362 over 9 years so $7,471.98 per pitch.

A person working for the median income in the USA would have to work 484 hours to earn what he will get for each pitch

Procedurally, how does the supreme court decide to not hear an appeal?

#6 | POSTED BY EBERLY AT 2019-12-09 02:01 PM | REPLY |

The Supreme Court decides to hear a case based on at least four of the nine Justices of the Supreme Court agreeing to grant the Petition for Certiorari. If four Justices agree to grant the petition, the Supreme Court will consider the case. A Petition for Certiorari is granted in very, few selected cases"fewer than 100 a year, by the Supreme Court of the United States.

A petition for Writ Certiorari is a request that the court hear your case. The Supreme Court receives over 5000 writs of Certiorari every year. Each writ and the case it comes from is reviewed the Supreme Court clerks and then shortened into a cert. memo. The cert. memo is what the Supreme Court justices use to actually decide the case. Upon reviewing the memo, the particular justice that the case was assigned to will either deny the appeal himself and affirm the appeals court judgment or will bring the cert. memo before the other justices and debate whether the case should be heard. In order for the case to be heard, four justices must agree to hear the case. This is known as the Rule of Four. If four justices vote to hear the case, then it is placed onto the court's docket and the parties and their attorney's are notified that the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case.

The court will typically grant the petitions of cases that are exceptionally unique and that present an issue of law that would be considered far-reaching throughout the United States. The Supreme Court also prefers cases that are clear examples for the lower court so that exact guidance can be given.

I used to go to Wrigley in the 80's and get a bleacher seat for $3 Hot dogs were $0.65. It was a great way to spend an afternoon with friends. Now a bleacher seat costs $65 and hot dogs are $5.50. I haven't gone to a game in 6 years

So far, 1 person has been offered over $7K an acre for his land....I have no idea if that's a fair offer or not."

The land they want to build on first is not wilderness. It is urban and suburban near McAllen Texas. mostly. Cheap lots in the Rio Grande Valley sell around $20k for a 1/4 acre lot outside of town. My wife and i intend to retire there and have been watching land prices for years. The Rio Grande valley near McAllen is one long run on city where there there is no place between towns. The land being taken first is residential land in Hidalgo.

There it is, the underlying force behind the conservative ideology. Its ok fine if Americans are dying everyday. We shouldn't be bothered to do anything int response.

The numbers under Obama were ALWAYS overstated, trumpeted by the media, and then quietly revised downward with little mention.

#39 | POSTED BY MUSTANG AT 2019-12-10 01:20 PM | REPLY |

Obama almost always got revised UPWARDS

Regardless of the reasons, it's good news that more folks are getting employed.

No really. I think any job that can't support the person working it shouldn't be counted. Did you miss the part where we once again lost manufacturing jobs and gained service jobs?

Slaves had jobs. Job numbers are not a good measure of prosperity.

A 1 week delay is not a halt

Actually, 3000 out of 1.3 BILLION are excellent numbers.
But of course the common man/woman expect it to be zero.

Honest question. How is this in comparison to regulated actual taxi services? And in addition how much crime has been caused by Uber drivers only being available when it is convenient for them?

So now we are supposed to celebrate a report from the same BLS you told us was lying when Obama took the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.5%?

If stuff comes out of the toilet when you flush you should check if you installed it backwards.

So you have nothing but fantasy. Got it.

2 commemorative coins bills
10 to rename government buildings (usually post offices)
2 meaningless HK bills
1 to allow the FAA admin to continue to serve
1 authorizing the 4th of July decorations on the national mall
1 to make Bob Dole and honorary colonel in the Army
1 POW/MIA display act (Lyin' Liz Warren sponsored)
The reality is that this Congress only passed 2 bills that were actually new " some additional funds for the southern border and the farmer relief act. They have ZERO actions that are meaningful and new to the American people. I will also note that Liz Warren and Kamala Harris' records of getting ANYTHING done remains abysmal. This is the record upon which they will run. Good luck with that.

Do you care to revise your BS statement Ira?

Coaching witnesses, blocking questions for GOP House members, blocking certain witnesses from being called and rushing the entire process.

Pretty strong allegation. Which witness subpoenaed is being blocked by the Democrats?

Questions about irrelevant subjects SHOULD be blocked and will be blocked by any judge trying to control a courtroom full of people who are focused on everything EXCEPT the matter at hand

I'm afraid that after 3 years of endless claims that nearly every action that the current President has engaged in is an impeachable offense, that the well is so poisoned that it would need to be something serious, incontrovertible, with concrete evidence, and an unquestionable motive.

According to fivethirtyeight, over 50% support impeachment, while a little under 50% support impeachment and removal. #211 | Posted by gtbritishskull at 2019-12-04 06:14 PM

Just 38% thought Clinton should be impeached. Why is the bar higher for Trump?

Why not let the voters testify in 2020? After all, our opinions and speculation rivals these witnesses. What a joke

#1 | POSTED BY WISGOD AT 2019-12-04 01:39 PM

Because anything short of impeachment means its ok if the president extorts foreign governments to get dirt on political rivals.

It also means ignoring congressional subpoenas is ok for the president and anyone he chooses to extend that power to.

voting him out of office does not address his crimes.

Why is the most transparentest Presidenter ever ever hiding things?

In America, 1/3 of households have guns.
In Switzerland, 1/3 of households have guns.
Switzerland has 1/4 of the gun death rate than America has.
In 2001, the BBC reported that "the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept."
The problem isn't the guns.

matching gun ownership rates does not equal matching regulation of said firearms

In Switzerland you must get a permit to buy a gun.

The following information must be provided to the cantonal weapon bureau together with the weapon application form:

valid official identification or passport copy.
residence address.
criminal record copy not older than 3 months.

The weapon holders are registered

They also limit magazine capacity and addons like scopes, laser sights and bump stocks.

Bottom line. You can have regulation without taking away gun rights
