I’m gonna miss you, too, buddy. 

Can confirm. These certainly appear to be three very good dogs.

You guys are awesome. It is not hyperbole to say that this site often gets me through the day. Keep up the good work, and for the love of god do not stick to sports.

This all day.  I love Gary Thorne.  I also think Gary Cohen and Ron Darling would make a spectacular national team (sorry, Keith, but no).  

Seriously. Fuck elevator news.

Related: I don’t mind Joe Buck, either. He is extremely okay at a job that must be harder than it appears from the comfort of my couch judging by how many other people are awful at it. But is he really the only one who can do this? We’ve got him flying from Houston for Game 2, to Minnesota for Thursday Night Football,…

Thank your for your polite, thoughtful and constructive contribution to this conversation.

Not so sure it’s a strawman, but either way I think your otherwise valid points bolster mine: that it’s impossible (or at least folly) to make predictions about playoff outcomes based on performance in the regular season. And yet it happens all the time: as you correctly noted, the Astros were favorites based on a…

Right. That’s why I linked back to it (presumably that’s how you came to read it a week later).

One of my favorite things about the post-season, and this post-season in particular, and this World Series particularly in particular, is how immediately and unsparingly it can render the Knowers of Baseball irrelevant hacks.

Interesting. Hadn’t seen that. Thanks. In fairness, though, this is the author advocating for a candidate other than Girardi because of a perception that paying what it will likely cost to get Girardi will limit the budget in other areas. That’s not an unreasonable take at all given the history, but we don’t have any…

Is there any evidence of this? I mean actual reporting that the Mets are balking at Girardi’s price tag? I accept the mountain of circumstantial evidence that would make it perfectly reasonable to wonder, but honestly asking who is reporting this with any kind of actual source?  

Fun fact: the Mets had a lead in four of those five games! 

This may seem an unoriginal thought - you said it yourself on the pod, Roth - but the 2019 Nats look increasingly like the 2015 Mets. A good not great regular season anchored by excellent starting pitching, with solid offense (particularly in the second half), and a shaky-as-hell bullpen. A five-game stint to upset the…

Upon learning that the tarantula wasn’t a deal-breaker, my two sons have asked for your address and preferred Mother’s Day gift.  My wife is taking it remarkably well.  

8th grade? Good god. I was legally drunk the night Vince Carter won the slam dunk contest.

Holy crap I can’t believe I left out (Muppet) Floyd Pepper. Too late to edit, but your corrected list is accepted gladly in this respect.
