cleave (verb): to penetrate or pass through

It should be possible to do a regression of 1-run game win percentage against relevant factors like overall win %, late-inning BA, BA w/ RISP, bullpen WHIP, etc, to tease out some of these factors. I don’t believe it’s coincidence the Jays had success when strutting their stuff in the last 3 games of the ALDS and 2 of…

I was hoping he’d have a good October and get his due as a true superstar of the game. Like him or not, he is. And he proved it.

Speaking of statheads, it was claimed the Jays poor record in close games (something I was concerned about weeks before the playoffs) was due simply to “luck”, and that their ability to bash opponents’ brains in was a better indicator of how good they were than the fact that they looked like the Rockies in 1-run…

More like Gomer.

That’s the closest he’d ever been to a female who isn’t his sister, mother, or cousin. First thing he did when he got home was change his shorts.

Care to revisit that? Jays won 2 LCS games, 11-8 and 7-1. Impressive. But with a runner on 3rd and no one out, the entire season on the line, they couldn’t even hit a medium fly ball. I have nothing against advanced stats, but the whole iconoclastic element to them is overrated. It was easy to see weeks before the…

In September, I was concerned that the Jays could win 7-2 games easily, but looked like the Rockies if the game was 4-3. Some douchie advanced-stat type right here on Deadspin said that one-run games were luck and that winning big showed more how good a team was than their one-run record. There’s something to not…

Yes. And then another ring each year until 2031.

Another allegedly talented lost soul who’ll tell you he’s got it all figured out by not having anything figured out. Yawn.

Corruption related to sports in a shabby European country? Well I never...

“His sideburns are *still* too long!”

“The *last* of Percy Harvin? I never saw the *first* of Percy Harvin”

Cruel, but fair.

“I could’ve told you that would happen”

That was Jerry Hughes. Not such a standup guy.

If you believe the Bills mullahs at Buffalo Rumblings, Jackson should be canonized and Doug Whaley flayed alive for cutting him. Then again looking at what Bills fans get up to before the game....

“I can relate to that”

Carroll also stated the crash was suspicious, as the stop sign hadn’t been there before the event. He believes it relates to a drive through the area by George Bush’s cousin, which was mysteriously re-routed.

Fred Jackson used to play for the Bills. Does that qualify him as being a public figure?
