Username checks out. Nothing more on brand for a Baltimore fan than a senseless hatred of all things Washington sports related (except the Caps, maybe), and the need to insert that hatred into a story that is a lot more consequential than whatever weird complex fuels that pointless hate.

“I am a progressive and charitable member of the community” - Harvey Weinstein Jeffrey Epstein Brandon Taubman

His title has been re-cast as Assistant to the GM.

Hans ... bubby ... I’m your white knight ... 

He's actually standing in this picture. 

Good lord.

Exactly who I pictured, and then verified with a google search:

“Taubman, a former fantasy baseball expert and investment banker...”

His comments had everything to do about the game situation that just occurred and nothing else 

lol, Domingo German and Aroldis Chapman are in the same boat as Osuna, and I’m guessing Brett Gardner isn’t stumping for Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, Yankee fans were actively assaulting the Astros’ players and fans throughout the series. You couldn’t have picked a worse counterexample.

Last season, Liverpool was 7 points clear in early January with over half of the schedule completed, so it would’ve been pretty silly for anyone to assume this season was a wrap with an 8 point lead in mid-October.

I enjoyed the article, but I still don’t agree with the premise of your second paragraph.

Or, imagine a truly despised team goes 16-0 in the regular season, blitzes through the playoffs, and then is upset by a(n admittedly loathsome if not by half) “underdog” led by a man-child with permanent derp face in some sort of culminating event.

Then fucking win in the playoffs?

I don’t care how they do it in Europe, playoffs are good.

Yeah, but the San Luis fans were fighting THE RIGHT WAY. 

To compound on that sadness, if it is the right word since this is all on him, during his height, there were multiple reports about how he was burning through a lot of money. At that point there wasn’t so much worry as he was making that money, but now, I can also easily see financial ruin waiting for him around the…
