Yeah, his career BABIP is 100 points higher than his (incredibly bad) .254 figure this year. He figures to improve, if only by regressing to the mean. He’s hitting a tick fewer line drives this year, but generally hitting the ball as hard as (if not harder than) he has in the past. All the major projections have him…

Yes. They were just facing the Reds.

It’s asinine to say the 73 win team had the lesser roster, and it’s an insult to OKC. OKC had a hell of a roster. World class and they were an eyelash from the finals, but they weren’t better than GS, and all this implies is that they’re a bunch of morons with freak talents. Did they occasionally lose focus? Sure. So…

For an entire season? No. (For one thing, LeBron was grinding himself into dust carrying the load on offense.) For any given series? No way. For that moment, against a team that was MUCH MUCH BETTER than them? Yes. They weren’t going to win the series either way. The Mozgov-Thomas-Delly lineup gave them drastically…

The Warriors hot takes are going to be the worst part about them losing.

They won the title last year, and won 73 games in a good conference this year.

That was some Captain America hurling his shield shit. That thing does not obey the laws of physics at all!

Where can I write in Basebally McBaseballface?

Should the punishment for fighting depend on how good you are at it?

This is solid Kinja that drifts into greatness at times.

After watching literally anything else but hockey, I can’t imagine anyone watching hockey. Ever.

F you for this entire comment.

Figured there would already be some cynical Deadspin post on this. Yeesh. Get over it. Kobe Bryant was a great player. One of the best of all-time. There’s no way around it. Sometimes you should sit back, shut the f*ck up, and enjoy the game. Not everything needs some sh*tty article attached to it.

LMAO you are clearly not only bitter at Kobe (for whatever reason)....but a certified idiot as well. Just stop talking about basketball. “Almost” as good as T-Mac? Not even top 20? Please tell me you’re just trolling because if not I am about to embarrass you on your own article. (Ironic you write for someone like…

Try not being a dick and actually answering a legitimate, politely asked question.

Fucka you wall anda fucka you bullpen!

please let this be a series where you update us every time they lose a game.

Reds have a 1.5 game lead over the Cardinals!

Counterpoint: Griffey

If you were extremely retro-cool, instead of just extremely cool, you would believe only two teams should play on Opening Day, and the only game should be in the middle of the day in, the middle of the week, on green grass in Cincinnati.
