Bagwell was great, he should’ve been in the HOF years ago

“I’d love to move over and have more space, but what if the guy next to me thinks I’m trying to avoid him? I’d hate to offend him. He might write a comment about me on an internet post about bad celebrity encounters.” -- John Cena

The only way this could’ve possibly been a better story is if Walton had been humming the NBA on NBC theme song.

Giovinco missed five games due to injury, which was apparently all the excuse voters needed to keep him off the MVP ballot. (Related: one of the Defender Of The Year finalists missed eight games.)

I guess the last laugh is that both New York teams and their MVP finalists are already sitting at home, with Toronto FC…

While Epstein certainly spent some serious money to build this Cubs winner, don’t forget that the large majority of the roster was either a) drafted within the last five years, b) picked up in low-profile trades that turned out to be steals (i.e. Arrieta), c) prospects picked up by unloading veterans (i.e. Russell,…

That’s weird, I thought Noah’s arc was supposed to end at Mount Ararat

“and with Terry Francona opting for the three-man rotation (and having Andrew Miller, of course), they’ll need all the hitting they can muster.”

Since two of the three guys in the rotation suck, I don’t think the Cubs will have much of a problem.

This wasn’t just Maddon’s decision, clearly Theo and company had to be on board as well. It’s obvious that everyone involved with the Cubs believes they have something really special in Schwarber, otherwise they obviously wouldn’t be doing this.

That episode upset me since Jane Adams was only in it for about three minutes and it seemed like a waste. I loved that she showed up again in the seventh episode and got way more to do.

Theo Epstein and his team built this legendarily crappy franchise into a juggernaut within five years’ time WITH EASE. It is astonishing how absolutely straight-forward this rebuild was. It was ok, tank for a few years, rebuild up draft picks, every pretty much every trade...oh look, Joe Maddon is suddenly available?…

The Blue Jays are a very streaky offense, and they’ve been quietly godawful at the plate since the start of September. They couldn’t even hit average pitching, so they’re very screwed against the likes of Kluber and Miller.

Even if reality has finally punctured Trump’s ego to the point that he thinks he’ll lose, he’s certainly not stepping down to help Pence, who by all accounts he barely tolerates.

If you’re Bochy, do you start Bumgarner in Game 2 (on Saturday) on short rest in the hopes of using him against on short rest in a possible Game 5? Or do you start him on regular rest in Game 3, plan to use MadBum out of the pen in a Game 5 and hope the rest of your team can handle the Cubs in the interim?

You could honestly skip ahead right to the NBA Finals. We all know it’ll be Cleveland vs. Golden State, barring some catastrophic injury. I see all the preseason material talking up, like, the Pacers or some random team and I’m like....who cares? 90% of this league is completely irrelevant. Maybe four teams, at most,…

Oh no, now the Sixers will suck!

Well, nobody goes on thrill-vacations to *actually* get hurt. Like, if you go bungee-jumping, it’s not like you roll your eyes when they’re strapping all the extra gear on you.

“So Justin, what the fuck is happening on the Leftovers?”
“Damned if I know.”

While we’re discussing TV apartments, nobody had it better than Frasier Crane. The episode where Alan Tudyk plays a vapid billionaire who decides to model his condo exactly after Frasier’s was wish-fulfillment for half the audience....who wouldn’t want to live in Frasier’s awesome apartment?!

Cherington basically only made three mistakes as Boston’s GM —- Sandoval, Allen Craig and Rusney. These signings basically ended up costing the team a bunch of money (not a huge issue for a big-market titan team) and just one season, in 2015. His other two ‘mistakes’ were Hanley and Porcello, both of whom are having…

This gender-swapped remake of “Dave” has ruined my childhood! Wake up, sheeple!
