David Roth is great.

He’s always been a spiteful and cruel person. As such, spewing racist garbage isn’t so much a strategy as it is a natural state of existence.

I’ve been a fan of Garbine’s since she broke on to the scene, as her game is fun to watch and she handles herself well with the media/fans, so the last year or so have been fun to follow. While I’ve never been big on the Williams sisters (mostly due to Serena’s attitude), it would have been nice to see Venus snag one…

Sadly, the asshole who hired him believes that his joke of a school still stands for (or ever stood for) accountability and values. They are incapable of real shame.

Not arguing the “Luis Sojo wasn’t very good” point, but he did deliver the three-run double in the 7th inning of one-game playoff in 1995 between the Angels and Mariners. Seattle’s lead was just 1-0 at that point, but those three runs, plus the dominance of Randy Johnson, essentially locked up the M’s first playoff…

“Good luck blaming this on Grayson Allen”

Amusingly (and predictably), that’s basically what Krzyzewski did and like most of his douchey actions, it’s working. ‘Grayson Allen stripped of captainship’ has become main takeaway from this contest on many platforms rather ‘legit team stomps Duke.’ Wouldn’t be right for 2016…

The recently deceased Robert Vaughn was one of the few notables who resided in my hometown and nearly everyone had experienced at least one unfortunate run-in with the guy. Despite appearing in a few SVU episodes being his only notable acting roles since his short heyday, Vaughn big-timed everyone and epitomized…

I got the same feeling after the Comey announcement and then again on Election Day when early morning turnout was about twice as as large as it has been for previous presidential elections. Like randi, my area up here in CT was going to go Democrat, but there was far more Trump support than I would have expected.…

Edinson Volquez might not be a top-end starter by any means, but a return to the NL plus getting to throw in Miami’s pitcher-friendly park could make this the season in which he finally takes home the Rookie of the Year Award.

Freudian slip given Dusty’s dismay at potentially not getting to get to hit an OBP sieve like Royce ahead of Harper. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s repeatedly lobbied to have the team sign the 46-year old Clayton so as to better bury Trea Turner.

Not like it means anything, but I was at that game, too. Totally bonkers, especially when Randy Johnson came out the bullpen and NYY hung seven runs in one inning. Agree with most of your other points, too. I liked bothe New York teams while growing up, but always had much more pleasant experiences at Shea than either…

Not sure what The Big Lead’s top story of the day has to do with this article, but I appreciate you posting the text to limit the amount of clicks it will get.

Seriously. I’ll read anything that Diana writes, as one knows that it is going to be professional and thorough, but the “down side” is that seeing her byline means that there are further examples of the world of sports being even more devoid of ethics than I’d previously thought - which is a hard feat to achieve.

I’m right here with you. I have obsessively tracked sports and been obsessed with baseball statistics since I was six, so having cable to watch more than just the handful of network broadcasts of local games was amazing. However, there is so much that is detestable about the world of sports that really hits you much…

Nepotism in the form of playing Austin Rivers 31 minutes in place of Chris Paul, an opportunity Austin used to shoot 4-12 FG and record a lone assist, cost the Clippers their revenge against the Rockets. The blown call simply sealed the deal.

It’s 100% affect, too. Serena didn’t pull that crap while playing Venus due to, you know, having respect for her sister. The fact that she was able to show restraint there makes the targeted screaming in all of these other matches all the more unprofessional. It’s amusing to hear ESPN’s pom-pom wavers not only condone…

Was all set to post the dialogue from this scene, but this is much better. Given Homer’s amazing ability to bounce back from head injuries, I think that we can safely say that the rock also prevents concussions.

Regarding Fernandez’s reaction, he’s apparently good friends with both Martin Prado (ex-D’Back, current Marlin) and David Peralta, the player who was hit. The trio had gone out while Miami was in town, so Fernandez was most certainly genuinely mortified at the possibility of hurting his friend. That any individuals’…

Still too soon.

But Royals fans weren’t given the opportunity to robo-vote their team’s entire roster into the HR Derby field!
