I wrote a post that evaluates the Isles (because it’s my team, and a team I cover) in these expansion terms. Johnny Boychuk could be unprotected, based on his contract size. Josh Bailey (Isles fans whipping boy, but a solid, defensive-oriented forward with decent playmaking ability) should be out there. Calvin de…

Keith in extra innings is, by far, the best announcer in baseball. Scully-level good.

Use the plural when describing your team loyalty.

Not his original finisher. His original as Goldust was a lifting, falling DDT, known as “The Curtain Call.”

Big ups to the Pens. When they made the Kessel trade, I thought it would doom them to take on that much salary, leaving them cash-strapped for...pretty much...ever. But Jim Rutherford to a fucking amazing job constructing this roster, and making adjustments on the fly. Good for them.

I have never had that problem with my friends, because I follow my own advice. If I don’t/can’t want to go anywhere, I say, “No thank you” like a big boy and don’t really pay any mind about whether or not it hurts the pack.

Could not disagree more with the first item. Absolutely DO NOT talk about it.

Mike Mussina never won a ring. His first year with the Yankees was 2001, and he retired after the 2008 season (in which he won 20 games). And should be a Hall of Famer anyway.

Ehhhhh. I say no. Really, really good for a four-year stretch, but it’s probably not long enough. He has a career 22.9 WAR. In contrast, Mike Mussina, to me a sure-fire Hall of Famer who is hurt by the recent loaded ballot and a lack of a ring and has only beengetting 20-30 percent in the voting, had a career 82.7 WAR.

It’s the same character: Rube Baker. Pictured is Major League: Back to the Minors. Then, of course, he was Jake Taylor’s replacement behind the dish in Major League 2.

Man, that’s a crazy idea.

@MLB: Due to what, we deem to be, hateful and intolerant rhetoric, MLB has banned Donald Trump from all 30 stadiums for life.

My best friend had a kid a little over two years ago, and my wife and I did everything you’re supposed to and the non-parent couple. We went to the hospital when the baby was born, we visited the house a week or so after just to drop off a present and say a quick hello and see if they needed needed anything (called…

So I hate to be this guy, but if you think baseball caps serve no functional purpose, you absolutely have never played the game. “Besides sun protection” is like asking, “besides hitting the ball, what purpose does a bat serve?”

There’s nothing like the inner workings of a county assessor’s office to get your loins burning with desire!

Bingo! All that stars for coherent, insightful tax talk.

Damn, this is WFAN-call worthy! Getting on fans for leaving early, with takedowns of Silicon Valley, environmentalists, AND rich people all in one scorching take. I’m in love!

It also helps to see how they look on players.

I’m so torn. Because I had gotten over the 2000 Series, and now I’m still so bummed we didn’t pull it out last year. A win in 2000 would have been everything though. It would have ended that Yankees dynasty a year early, given us eternal bragging rights, gotten Piazza his title. But man, last year was like a dream. I…

As a 31 year old Mets fan who was sleeping in his crib peacefully when Jesse struck out Marty Barrett, I want that cathartic, emotional rush of a world title so badly.
