Last year I used to dread the idea of Schilling eventually being elected, which he will, because he deserves it as a player.

It’s encouraging to see Bonds and Clemens hovering around the 70s right now. If they can finish 65%+ this year, I feel pretty good about them getting in at some point over the next four years.

You’re being generous.

Holy shit! He’s dead?!

Man, what a huge day for dick based gestures. Shout out to dick based gestures.

I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but one day the tables are going to turn. I pray to god that I’ll be alive to see it. These fermented cumstains think they can pillage and ruin lives to keep their wallets fatter than the next billionaire.

The way the city hits upon exiting the Fort Pitt tunnel. It’s a fucking beautiful visual. Gets me every damn time.

Fair. I was really more trying to emphasize how dumpy the surrounding area is, but worded it poorly.

This feeds into debunking one of the great narratives of the stadium grift. Every shitbag rich guy tries to tell you that a staidum will “revitalize” the surrounding area or “provide a downstream impact on local businesses” or whatever snake oil they sell to get taxpayer money.

Agreed. I’ve always enjoyed Big Cat and found him to be the moral compass of Barstool. Not that his hands are clean (i.e. him sitting there laughing at Dave call Sam Ponder a slut) but he’s matured a lot. I don’t mind McAfee either. You described it well about how he’s the bro Kluwe.

Okay but at the end of the day, they have won a playoff series for three of the past four years. The Caps have done the same exact thing in the past four years. The Nats have made the playoffs four times in the past six years and never once got past the divisional series.

You make solid points, but I don’t think it’s hitting in the right places.

Right and I don’t necessarily mind those empty calorie transplant fans. I mean, they’re generally career obsessive type-A bros, but at least they’re putting butts in the seats and contributing to an atmosphere. And believe me, some of them really do adopt those teams in a genuine manner.

The whole race thing is a lingering issue across wide swaths of this country and their relationship to the NBA. It’s the genesis of the “I love March Madness but hate the NBA” argument.

I wouldn’t be so quick to say that. I’ve seen droves of millennials D.C. transplants adopt the Nats and Caps. It’s a trendy thing for them to go to the games and be in the loop about what’s happening. Those company sponsored outing aren’t always full of people into the Nats/Caps, but a lot of them are. It also feeds…

That’s incredibly surprising to hear. I’m sure there are more people who care about the Wizards, but they’re almost certainly in the minority.

But that argument dies when you see how all of those transplants adopt the Nats and Caps.

It’s more of a shame that they’re both millionaires who will likely have more money than most of us can dream of.

As a lifelong DC native I have my opinions on this. I do not root for the Caps, Nats or Dan Snyder’s Landover monstrosity. The one team I do love with all my heart is the Wizards and seeing how D.C. treats the Wizards makes me believe that this sports curse is well earned.

I’ve followed Barstool for quite some time now. Not as a reader but more of an observer who has watched it grow from a regional blog to the behemoth it is today in the span of a decade. The least redeeming quality for some of my friends is that they’re big Barstool fans. They aren’t full blown “Stoolies” who harass…
