I enjoy Barnwell’s work. 538 is frequently interesting. Jayson Stark did a good job. Rachel Nichols is cool.

ESPN.com’s front page is a mess and decent analysis is hard to find if you miss it in the feed.

I, for one, look forward to this data being an excuse for thinly veiled racial stereotyping.

What is wrong with you?

Hi guys, would you be able to ease off on the stories about Patriots players and owners getting involved in questionable activities?

All I see is a fantastic display of pitching to contact.

7 of the 10 safest airlines in the world are from Asia so that whole thing you are talking about is actually imaginary.

I enjoyed this. 

When did Ken Griffey Jr end up on the known juicers list?

Doom is generally best determined with hindsight so, like the Titanic, even though nobody predicted it ahead of time the inevitable result was disaster.

If Trump really wanted to show North Korea who was boss he would kidnap their unicorns.

Bastia fans act tough at home but they don’t travel well to Spain, Russia or Belgium.

Hitler didn’t even sink to missing the playoffs.

A good definition of a Barreled Ball would be a ball hit so hard that it leaves the ground, thereby guaranteeing a hit and a run scored by the batter. I am surprised that nobody has thought of naming that kind of hit before.

Take the viewpoint that the strikes were only deemed illegal due to referee incompetence and the whole incident clears itself up very quickly.

They deserve it because their defense looks gassed.

Once again Mickelson is involved in sinister activities.

Attitude is everything. I remember I once saw my Quarterbacks head drop, just for a second, during a game. That second was enough, it was like a virus that infected the entire team. I just dropped my controller and walked away from the xbox.

I come looking for you with base hits
I stay smoking on good pitch placement
I smack pitches from different places
You get money they started hating
I woke up on the ground Piscotty
