Open Thread: Game 129 - A's at Angels (cont.)
This is why you watch the games -- who would have predicted that by now, Landon Powell would have a straight steal of home, Erick Aybar would have gotten a foul ball stuck in his corn rows, and the A's would have turned a 5-9-2-4-7 triple play? Anyway, 23-1 A's going to the bottom of the 6th...{please be right...please be right...please be right...}

Maybe
but if he doesn’t hit really well he’s not worth much (since his D and baserunning are nothing special). And there’s not much reason to give him a ton of ABs.

Bunk.
Thick is thick and curvy is curvy. They do frequently go together, but they’re not the same thing.
If the concern is that women don’t like the word, that’s only because they don’t hear it often enough with the proper appreciation.

I don't disagree with the first part
but really, in this world, women are supposed to appreciate being called thick? One may have good intentions calling a woman thick, but women in general don’t hear it that way. Don’t get me started on the perception of women’s physiques in this society.
"I'm pretty sure I heard Ray Fosse call a run a "point" tonight." - travdog6
true.
and a sensitive person should recognize that.
Pam, please allow me to publicly apologize for referring to you as thick and allow me to change my adjective of choice to curvy. I meant zero disrespect.

It's a cultural thing
“Thick” is well-understood in most African-American communities, and I had thought it had spread to white folk by now. It’s not just a euphemism for fat and it’s not a synonym for curvy. Urban dictionary gives a pretty good idea. It’s almost almost complimentary. It’s no more likely to be used disparagingly than, say, “buxom”.
Short answer to your question: yes, they are.

"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I can agree that thick is good
that’s not what I’m trying to say. It’s a question of perception. I don’t believe that when a woman is complemented as being “thick”, she receives the intention of the statement. Thick is great. Curvy is great. This culture of wafer-thin supermodels…not so much.
"I'm pretty sure I heard Ray Fosse call a run a "point" tonight." - travdog6
OK, so how do we beat the culture?
Here you have two guys celebrating the virtues of the non-wafer-thin female form. You find this counterproductive?

I didn't want to go here, but if only to get
you to stop typing that monstrous aberration “peni” I will.
The authentic Latin plural for “penis” is “penes”. You will occasionally see this used in scientific contexts, or in related words like “hemipenes” (yes, some creatures have forked ones and each half is a “hemipenis”).
But there’s no reason to use it in ordinary English. The proper plural is simply “penises”.

Well, our pass defense is normally good. It just got picked apart by the top-ranked offense. We’re just terrible against the Saints. We lost to them last year by a 34-3 score. Our run defense, as usual, was poor. We definitely have to take a defensive tackle with our first pick in 2010.
Offensively, we barely had the ball. We don’t run the ball all that much in the preseason since we’re trying to move Russell along. Russell played well (12-for-18 and 153 yards), but the blindside fumble on the first drive killed big time.
