Sad that Johan Santana will likely drop off after one year... he very clearly is not HOF-caliber but his 5-year stretch from 2004 to 2008 is unreal...

I’m hoping for, and legitimately think it should be, an O’s hat... 10 years there vs 8 in NY... better Ks ERA, ERA+, WHIP, WAR (and wins, if you care about it) with Baltimore

I appreciate your commitment to Truthering

By the article’s title, I would have thought they’d be sharing Beef Wellington recipes

While in high school at Riverdale Baptist, Beasley played against my school in a local tournament and he scored about 35 in the first half on maybe 15 shots including where he missed a 3, grabbed his own long rebound and dunked over our center (we were short and not good). He sat basically the entire second half as…

It’s been about a year and a half since I bought Suikoden II... I keep telling myself that once I achieve a new goal I’ll hammer through it (I actually do enjoy it)... it was getting a new job for a while but now I’m 6 months in and no real progress... next is buying a house... so... yeah maybe when my future kids all…

I think... I think we’re best friends now...

Glad to see Rolen seems likely to stick around for a while... very underrated player

1) That’s fine and I tend to agree with you now in retrospect

I would say the oodles of money FF7 made would beg to differ about it being “too soon”

Todd Gurley was so hot this game, he might actually be able to melt steel beams

Oh man... this is a real bummer... I actually like a member of the Cardinals now...

Sure yeah... it’s definitely the area for most improvement from him... the difference between him being a megastar and Trout-esque

Weakness is relative. He’s certainly not as good there as he is a hitter or a fielder, but he’s still a fine baserunner... doesn’t steal a lot of but generally doesn’t create outs on the bases and his BsR numbers for both FanGraphs and Baseball-Reference show him as a neutral force essentially (FG has him fairly…

I think Bryce does cuz he’s somehow even younger and he has 90 power potential on the 20-80 scale... I know Stanton and Judge are stupid strong but Harper is like that too and provides all the other fun Harper things (including his already-established marketing appeal).

Machado is a more valuable piece than Stanton (last season notwithstanding)... he’s younger, one of the best fielders on the planet, has shown real aptitude with baserunning, can play SS, etc. Stanton, fabulous player that he is, profiles like a lot of those older sluggers who are still useful but aren’t worth what…

Me and every Orioles fan right now:

Yes the parity the NBA has is the envy of all sports...certainly no super teams just loading up on megastars over there

Jeter should be showing up to pressers as Buster Olney pointed out but honestly, there’s no winning this situation... Stanton said no to two teams that would have provided more attractive returns and any ownership team would have assumed much of the debt that Loria built up... should Jeter’s relatively poor group have…

And in one afternoon, the Modern Era committee added the best player not currently in the HOF (who doesn’t have other baggage such as steroids or gambling) and the single-worst post-integration player to get into the HOF
