imagine giving someone credit for *not* doing the worst possible thing

why the FUCK is there always such an outcry at saving “employer-sponsored insurance plans”?  who out here gives enough of a shit whether it’s Aetna, Cigna, or United as opposed to those who give a shit about whether or not they’re just going to be covered at all?

The difficult part to understand is your insistence that everything is written in concrete and can’t fucking change.  The only shortstops who had more WAR than Zack Cozart in 2017 were Francisco Lindor and Corey Seager.  He was tied for 19th in the league in position player WAR.  So by your standards, he was a fucking…

You’re sitting here saying “this doesn’t make someone a star and that doesn’t make someone a star” so here’s your shot buddy: what the fuck DOES make someone a star if the fans of the sport voting him one of the best/most popular at his position doesn’t hack it for you?

Hard to call Geno Smith a bust when he was drafted 26 spots after EJ Manuel and was one of the “best” QBs to come out of the 2013 draft. The 2015 sucker punch thing wound up really derailing his career, all over a $600 plane ticket. Then blowing out his ACL in game 6 of 2016 after getting the job back from Fitzpatrick…

It’s such an intriguing comparison between the two - Romo was totally unheralded and sat on the bench for two and a half years before getting a shot at 26, but was basically shot by the time he was 34. Eli got shoved in their incredibly early because of his draft pedigree and wasn’t really good until he was 27 but…

The Zack Cozart who hit .297/.385/.548 and got a 3yr/$38M contract out of that would definitely be considered a star, yes.  The Zack Cozart who’s spent the first 2 years of that contract continually hurt is definitely no longer a star, but it does not negate the fact that in 2017 he was a star.

Tauchman routinely hit near .300 in every level of the minors with solid K:BB ratios and some decent pop; for whatever reason the Rockies thought it was better to roll with Ian Desmond in the OF this year over him.  We can argue about Maybe’s best season (I’d argue that 2016's .315/.383/.418 in 145 more PAs was better…

If the Cardinals’ brass thought a player was “trash” after giving him a whopping 137 PAs spread out over 2 seasons and tons of pinch hit appearances, then that’s their fault for being absolute morons.

He’s the 2016 batting champ with 3 gold gloves and was voted in by the fans as a starter in the 2015 All-Star game. We can argue on whether or not the size of the rosters has diluted the meaning of being an All-Star, but I’d still stand by the fact that winning a fan vote allows you to call someone a “star”.

the Panther’s only other option at that point was...*check notes*...A literal robot who was programmed to throw turnovers and make racial slurs.

deeep fuckin cut

oh man if we’re going to talk fantasy for a second, the league i’m in has a keeper system where you sacrifice a pick based on where you picked a guy last year, so i managed to keep Acuña on my keeper team for the sake of a 5th round pick but the true steal was picking up Juan Soto as a FA last year which means all i…

i can’t decide which would be worse:  that you’re trolling and this is the tired act that you decided to bring to the table, or that you are an actual living, breathing human being who believes their own bullshit this strongly

there’s literally an article criticizing bernie on their front page right now, posted about 45 minutes before you said this

i mean i don’t know where the hell you’re looking but Splinter’s front page at the moment goes back to 5 PM yesterday, so every debate article would be on the front page, and you have the following articles:

a genuine bona-fide electrified six car monorail????

What’s incredibly fucked is that they had a small wave of growing support for KO as a Stone Cold-lite babyface and decided “nahhhhh let’s make sure the owner’s son completely neuters that entire push” - so not only are you giving Shane spots that could be going to more deserving guys, you’re actually depressing the…

Duncan Hunter is gonna be SO PISSED
