Exactly! Paying guys like Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer and Miguel Cabrera for what they did in the past is crazy. Every team has been burned on this at some point...which is exactly why teams are putting a stop to it. Moose doesn’t deserve more than he got - he got exactly what he’s worth today. And I think that’s…

Here here. What happened to these women was awful. And porn is an awful ‘business’. Sure, some people can/have adjusted to being a part of this strange world...but I’m so sick of hearing how women in porn have somehow “taken female sexual power BACK” and all of that jazz. Many of these women are addicts, come from…

Goddamn nightmare. Ugh. Would it be easy for a normal passenger to undo their own harness? So terrible.

Gah, can’t believe I did that. Jake Reed (former MN Viking wide receiver) is stuck in my head. Also, I think the Twins also DO have a guy named Jake Reed in the bullpen right now during Spring Training. Whoopsies, nonetheless.

One helluva offseason for the Twins. Zach Duke, Fernando Rodney, Jake Reed in the ‘pen, Lance Lynn and Jake Odorizzi added to the rotation. Throw in DH addition Logan Morrison too. This on a team that already has Ervin Santana and Jose Berrios in the starting rotation, and Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier, Byron Buxton,…

“On the open market each win above replacement is worth about 8.5 million dollars right now”

Good point. I noticed one person replied mentioning “2.7 WAR” or some bullcrap. I realize that OBPS is a thing, I know that WAR is a thing. I also know that Mike Moustakas should not get paid anywhere near his asking price and I’m glad he didn’t. Fluke year. Same for Logan Morrison, and look what he got.

I’m not one of those people who bitches about player salaries. Nor am I one to say “MY TAX DOLLARZ” when a new stadium is built. I’m just remarking at the absurdity of it all - we’re talking about Mike Moustakas here. We all know Moustakas isn’t very good! He had a lucky year and won’t get close to doing that again.…

Exactly - and that’s the crazy part about all of this complaining. People like Mike Moustakas (MIKE MOUSTAKAS!) think they deserve to be overpaid because “that’s just how it works”. Aren’t owners supposed to pay baseball players what they’re worth? Why are we all so freaked out about guys getting paid based on their…

Yeah he’s using a lot of the same words, repeating himself. That said, it’s pretty common in sports, right? “Yep, happy here. Glad to be a part of the team. Working hard. I’ll bat anywhere in the lineup”. He’d probably say the same thing in English, those sports interviews are pretty repetitive sometimes. Good accent…

Gringo here, been living in Guatemala almost 5 years. Can confirm it’s pretty cool to unlock the language and get to the point where you are comfortable thinking in Spanish. My dad was fluent (lived in the DR for years), so growing up watching him speak Spanish and traveling with him in Latin America made me really…

As the old saying goes, “it’s expensive to be poor”. You get smaller loans, no credit, higher interest rates. You want to rent a nicer apartment? Too bad, your credit check doesn’t fulfill the requirements. You want to buy a newer car? That’ll cost $5,000 more than it would for a person with means. You have large…

For anyone else wondering, Randall and Diggins won the gold medal in the “Team Sprint Free” event.

I remember them - in fact those trust fund shitheads were the first people I thought about when I saw this article. Check and mate, buddy!

Thanks for sharing this stuff! As an American living abroad in a mostly rural, underdeveloped country, this really hits home: you don’t need all of those familiar “comforts” to be successful. Be humble. Keep trying. Enjoy the day-to-day challenges. Do it your own way.

Thanks. The court was the thing that really confused me. I could see the Kings wearing the uni’s, but they couldn’t have changed their cour—-oh wait, yeah they did. Apparently they have 3 different courts that they change to match their uniforms. Wow!

I watched that video 4 times and I still can’t tell which team the Bulls are playing against. The 1983 Kings?

I also thought that was a new low for Super Bowl ads. As tasteless as it gets!

Ooooh, oooh - MLB has a bunch of them. Those interleague “rivals” that don’t always work out. Sure the Cubs/Sox, Yankees/Mets, Dodgers/Angels...heck even Twins/Brewers or Tribe/Reds, they have some regional meaning at least. But how about the D’backs v. Astros? And watch out for the bad blood when the Tigers and…

Like Wisconsin v. Minnesota football for Paul Bunyon’s Axe. Wisconsin has won like 15 in a row or something. However, like the Apple Cup it IS regional. We have to drum up something more pointless here...
