I think the Cards were definitely partly aided by the fact that the pitch hit Molina perfectly. It’s a bit odd that on 3-2 count with the bases loaded that he would set up so far outside where a perfect pitch (much less a two-seamer, which is going to start even further outside and break back) is going to be outside…

+7/16

I don’t think anybody in boxing that doesn’t stand to make a huge payday out of this fight wants this fight. The WBA president refused to sanction the fight because he said he thinks it’s bad for the sport.

Good thing for Conor UFC fighters are all extremely accomplished boxers...

These athletes’ downfall is not that they use a financial advisor, but that they use a shady unknown company or a family friend or a friend of a friend that ends up seeing the opportunity to rob them blind. If they would just go to a Merrill Lynch or a Charles Schwab-type huge company with safeguards in place to…

The best thing about day-drinking: Nobody knows you’re drunk.

I do not doubt that taking things that were not intended to be compliments as such is your most utilized life skill. I consider this matter closed for now and look forward to it reopening, with us as allies, if Osgood somehow makes the Hall after a good, but not great, career.

You are basically the Devean George of Deadspin commenters. I’m ok with keeping the chasm.

Keeeeep digging.

Not nearly as much as you are wildly overrating your own cleverness. Even taken as hyperbole your comparison just wasn’t funny enough to work. But keep digging that hole.

Osgood’s hall of fame case inspires spirited debate and opinion is pretty firmly split down the middle on whether he is HoF-worthy. Let’s go to Basketball Reference for their thoughts on Devean George:

Considering it was neither humorous nor remotely accurate, I’d say it was a failure all around.

While I agree that Osgood should not make the HoF (saying this even as a Wings fan), that comparison is just asinine.

I love how Brooks diverts his path to light that first kid up but then has another, smaller, kid right in his sights at 2nd base but takes great care to avoid him. Brooks is merciful.

Well there goes my morning.

I already love dogs. I don’t need another reason to love dogs. But when dogs tackle children, that love soars even higher.

Manslaughter? This is second-degree murder.

I think that is a hard 300K/picture for the first 3 with the idea that if they perform well, the sequels would be where the bigger money comes in once the movies were more of a known commodity. I don’t think there’s any way someone with as little industry clout as Gadot would be in a position to negotiate points…
