As a Giants fan I can tell you two things attractive about Eli Manning. 

How do you know Szabo didn’t say sorry? Even if he didn’t, though, it’s hard to see how this calls for deadly violence. 

You know why I like it? Because for so long baseball has been built on things like the scout scene in Moneyball: “The ball has a nice sound when he hits it” kind of crap. Exit velo confirms what our eyes were probably telling us — that Stanton hits the ball harder than anyone else. Exit Velo eliminates anyone saying, “…

I’m at 51/5th. And I’d say you were lucky you got there in 25 mins, considering.

He also has one home run among his four career hits — and it was a grand slam.

Per multiple sources, the Hall of Fame currently is considering a requirement that candidates for enshrinement commit to showing up for the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony before the selection committee makes its final choices.

Yeah, maybe the equipment is juiced.... or maybe it’s just better. And maybe, just mayyybe — and hear me out, here — many of today’s baseball players are treating their bodies the way elite athletes treat their bodies now instead of drinking a case of beer every night and smoking cigarettes in the tunnel.

It amazes me how many of the people trying it are quite unathletic, yet are trying something that requires some athletic skill. It’s like all those videos of grandmas getting on hoverboards a few Christmases ago and then falling on their asses.

What were the results of the light polls?

So DeBlasio and NYC want to limit the income Uber/Lyft drivers can make while “protecting” taxi drivers who pay for obscenely overpriced taxi medallions.

How long before he’s quoted as “just finding this whole thing funny” and blaming the media for making “a big thing” out of it?

It’s also shortsighted to make women feel excluded just from a winning perspective.

I happened to be in the car when this was happening in New York and the Yankees radio crew — which is hard to listen to in any situation — was utterly baffled. John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman just kept mumbling things like, “I think what happened....” and had no idea what was going on down on the field. If you have…

I remember once reading speculation about whether you could maneuver in such a way that a pitcher got a win and a save in the same game. However, I think there is a rule on the books that you cannot get both. 

I hope the Caddy dealer who left the guy on the side of the road and threw his phone out the window was making that story up. 

The homerism in that Giants broadcast is amazing. 

I’ll admit when I saw the crawl say he’d been “suspended” I thought, “from what? the National Swimming League?”

Let’s also all not forget that this kid was sitting in the front goddamn row so even if he didn’t get that particular ball, let’s not cry too many tears for the kid in the $800 seats.

I could not love this more. Kawhi stages a protest and won’t play for the Spurs. So they trade him, as is their right. But now he’s mad about that. It’s so great. 

It’s always so evident when a meathead is excited about a phrase they think makes them sound super-educated — “association is not causation,” for example.
