Weak and strong 

Weak and strong is both weak and strong, rather than perfect.
I'd rather be weak and strong than just weak only. At least I got a little range without having to go get a rifle.

Houston Astros 

You notice that teams that haven't been losing against the Yankees much that year get investigated, but when was the last time anybody investigated the Yankees? LA is the same way, other teams either go along with the LA teams program or theres an investigation.
The Houston Astros and the Red Sox, teams that had been giving the Yankees trouble in the past few years are the teams that got investigated it turns out, which seems to be what happens when the Yankees don't win a title that year. The same time winning every year isnt interesting, some people root for the team that's going to keep a season interesting over impressive stats and a winning record.

Some people root for the team that never wins because they're everything the Yankees are not, that doesnt mean they're okay with their team losing.

Forest fires 

Fires don't just come from lightning, so the same is true of forest fires. They're as likely to come from industrial sources, or from humans, just like city fires.
Fire is as likely to come from arson as it is anywhere else, and it's a little suspect when someone tries to get somebody else to quickly rule out arson as even a possibility rather than as absolute, the way some writers write stories in the news about how the fire is thought to or does absolutely come from lightning, without offering any other realistic possibilities. Does telling people a fire came from lightning rather than arson or another source really make them feel safer when they can end up just as dead from a fire that started from lightning? Theres no good reason people shouldn't question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years.

Theres no good reason people shouldn't question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years (even for fire prone areas). Its as possible that someone that doesn't hold trees sacred or thinks of them as matchsticks would have an interest in burning them as it is that an industrial accident, electrical accident, or lightning caused the fires.
