The ice bucket challenge

You have seen the Royals' rotation this year, yes?

 

LOL.

Now we're getting pretty far off tangent from the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. But we're talking about the 2015 World Series. This year's rotation wouldn't have much bearing on that.

It isn't a difficult analogy to grasp, guys. It isn't a Baron.

 

I'm just busting balls. Cueto fascinates me, though, because he was so bad except for the two games the Royals needed him to be at his best. (Yes, I'm counting game 2.) It's a really interesting question on value. I'm in the "completely worth it" camp.

He's also fascinating because of his Instagram persona.

 

As am I.

 

Perhaps that's why they didn't take him to the White House?

 

The First ALS Drug In 22 Years Is Approved -- And It Costs 4 Times What It Does In Japan

Seems the primary research was done in Japan so I don't know how Ice Bucket related the development is but still pretty good news.

 

Considering how little info is included about the cost, that subhed seems out of place.
What is the cost of the drug when prescribed for stroke treatment?
Is the higher cost of the drug in the US and other markets underwriting the lower cost of the drug in Japan?

 

Pete Frates, Ice Bucket Challenge inspiration, struggling financially

 

Somebody done fucked up real big this morning. And the sheep followed instead of verifying it themselves.

 

Turns out Mike Barnicle was the first to tweet it. Then ran a "correction" about the death of a 32-year-old Boston icon. Jesus Christ.



Still no excuse for shit like this.

 

Pete will come up with an excuse of Mike Barnicle, I assure you.

Twitter does no favors to journalists. None.
