This is the most logical explanation, IMHO. But, if it’s the right one then Ferguson would be better off saying so instead of, in effect, DERP, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BENJEEZ BAE.

As is the case in most every American bureaucracy, it’s the people with the deepest pockets that gain the ears of those with any power.

Marlins’ brass will be flown in to observe and take notes.

Oh piss off you little twerp, I am fucking hysterical.

Yeah, I am pretty sure this is the objectively correct take on Simmons like 97 times out of 100.

I get that you guys can’t stand Simmons (though I’ve never fully understood why it runs so deep around here), but the following doesn’t strike me as the ravings of a frothing lunatic:

The lists are completely different for weekdays and weekends. A 4:30p start time on a workday is heavenly (playoff baseball, e.g.). And 10:00 a.m. for a Premier League match on a Saturday morning is bliss. But I can’t watch soccer on a Tuesday morning; and if you want to make me get home for a baseball game by…

Let this be a lesson to diner patrons everywhere: when you order buffalo, all you get is some lame beef.

Lauren Theisen had never heard of the Bud Bowl.

Japan has strict privacy laws about filming and photography, even in public places. That’s just the first of many cultural rules he breaks.

A couple of years ago, as I was developing more than just a passing interest in the Premier League, a good friend from England explained that West Ham had one of its most memorable seasons in 1986, but was more typically a perennial also-ran that almost always disappoints its colorful, die-hard fan base.

I tried to make this point in a not-so-subtle way a few weeks ago here (and I remain profoundly disappointed that Albert…

This is probably more appropriate for some of the negativity that followed the release of The Last Jedi, but it works here, too.

After the race, a squad of Polish reporters formed a circle around Babicki to fire questions at him.

And I really, really don’t want to hear the complaint that expanding the field will result in the same issues with the last spot, because no one truly gives a crap about debating the ninth best team in the country.

That’s some good Shinji

A good solid ballplayer. His only flaw for purposes of this conversation is that he just wasn’t as good as the other three in terms of longevity, production, power, WAR, etc. It’s no slight against Greenwell to say he doesn’t belong in that sentence, it’s a nod to the other three. (I suppose you could argue that in…

Kids are great and pretty easy once you get the hang of it. The trick is to say no to literally everything. They’ll think they won the lottery whenever you say yes to anything, and the teachers will love them because nobody says no to their little darlings anymore.
