How about those Yankees?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You mean "how about those over priced, 1 year past their prime" Yankees? I hope the Tigers win the first round so George can't buy a World Series for another year.

Which of the hitters in the lineup is overpriced?TheVirtualMind said:
I'll never understand why Steinbrenner is so hated for WANTING THE TEAM HE OWNS TO WIN. I guess it's jealousy; I'd sure love the owners of my Mariners to spend commensurate with the amount of money they make. Steinbrenner goes above and beyond for the Yankees. Every other owner has the money he has to spend, they just choose not to spend it and complain about the Yankees instead.

The Yankees get killed in the playoffs every year now because they have an average pitching staff, and they play very tense from the enormous expectations on them. That, and there never seems to be any sort of that team chemistry from which legendary teams are born. Their bench always looks like a bunch of hired guns that are there to do a job and then go home. In Game 2 their whole dugout had this look on their faces as if to say "I don't get it, we have better batting averages," as if that matters in the present moment.
If anyone should be hated on, it's Major League Baseball for not forcing a firm salary cap. But then again, I'm a Tigers fan, so fvck the Yankees. :box:

There's no reason for MLB to impose a salary cap. Salary caps are designed to improve parity in sport, but leagues with salary caps (the NFL and NBA) have less parity in their championship teams than MLB does. A lot can be done with a little money (see: Florida Marlins 2006). The fault isn't with the overspending of teams like the Red Sox and Yankees, but with the front offices of small market teams: they're just less competent with a built-in excuse.
WHERE DID THAT PERFORMANCE FROM KENNY ROGERS COME FROM?! WOW he was great last night. Hats off to him; he's too good of a pitcher to be thought of as a choker.
I wish Torre would play Melky. They didn't need Matsui and Sheff for the whole season, and they don't need them on the field now. The Yankees are the only team where when one guy doesn't show up, they ALL don't show up. Pathetic.

**** The Yankees!!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
The Tigers are a feel good story alright. Blue-collar bozo's hunting down the New Yorker's in their Armani suits.
In retrospect, it ain't over. Those A's are sizzling. I am absolutely in awe of their pitching staff, no let-up whatsoever.
To my Dodgers, love being back in the post-season, even if getting sweeped by the Mets was our fate. It's all building blocks for the future. James Loney has quality written all over him.
Mets and Oakland series. Oakland in 5

Haha, understatement of the year. I think the Tigers are going to annihilate the Cards.Espi said:

Yeah, Detroit is the favorite. Getting swept by the Red Sox a couple years ago is haunting the Cards.
I think the Cardinals' best chance is momentum - they have it and will be hoping that the Tigers come out looking cold and out-of-synch.
Who wants to give a lesson in what these numbers mean? I do not understand it very well. I have tried reading about it but the concepts are still not clear.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Could look at it in retrospect, Detroit has had ample time to prepare and freshen up, the Cards are straight out of a draining 7 gamer against a quality Mets side, albeit short on pitching.eminence said:
Still, it's the "World" series, anything can happen huh? I'm with the Cards, but like you said, 4-2 to the Tigers is more than reasonable. Let's hope it's still a cracker of a series.
