From the greatness that is Thujone

They debated killing him and then blaming it on drug dealers, but decided that was too old school.

remember, MLB (and all major leagues) are just a TV show

It really is tough growing up as a Bay Area fan. I mean, what do I choose? History in my lifetime? Then I can look to the A’s, Warriors an Raiders of the 70s. Coming of age? The Niners did it for me (and set a standard for consistent greatness (until shitting the bed)). My favorite team? Oh, yeah, the Giants have done…

Tech Bro Warriors Fan. Has loved basketball since it was invented in Silicon Valley by a gutsy venture capitalist back in 2009.

This guy is a sure fire, first ballot hall of famer. He has probably been the best playmaker in the league for the last 10 years. Not just great in this years playoffs. Never understood why he gets ripped on, or why the Bruins wanted to get rid of him so badly.

I’ll never get the hate for him. Sure, he may not have lived up to potential while on Causeway Street, but he’s been a ppg player his entire career. Also, the Bruins fucking TRADED him 10 years ago. It’s not like he just bolted as a free agent.

I’d say send them this writing sample, but you might be too smart for ESPN.

Well, fuck, wouldn’t that have been a great column for “Black ESPN” to run instead of “Us blacks don’t need no book learnin’s...we got them STREET SMARTS” bullshit.

Gorgeous house, just gorgeous. I love driving through the neighborhoods of the Rock Creek Park area; they are all amazing. That Kelly woman is an idiot, though. No fucking way is the Secret Service going to allow a former President to move into a struggling DC neighborhood, even if he wanted to (and really, why would…

The 2015 Royals only had one regular who hit over .300, no one with 25 HRs, one 100 RBI guy, and no full-time starter with an ERA under 3.50 (the only one was Chris Young who was a swingman bouncing between rotation and pen) or more than 13 wins.

Given that the point of sports analytics is merely to use objective data to put out the most effective winning team, without regard to anything else that’s subjective or personal in nature, I would actually argue that analytics have done more to combat racism in sports than anything else. The privileging of data and…

This idiotic Wilbon article is what I would have expected if Whitlock was running that site. I’m normally a pretty calm person, but I was so irrationally mad about this yesterday that if I saw Wilbon on the street I would have screamed at him. He basically wrote an article that says “black people are very emotional…

Bottle flipping is a gateway to bat flipping and must be stopped now!

Apparently kids are easily impressed now days....

The Ardrey Kell High School talent show: You pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge

Bubonic plague parties for kids.

No, way too far behind to be fathomable. The way a US youth player progresses through the US system is hugely problematic for both developing individual talent and developing a league. A promising 13-year-old in Europe is already playing for a club team’s academy. At 15, he’s training with the first team, and at 16…

Bartolo Colon, who turns 43 years old today,

When asked about it in the clubhouse after the game, he just laughed it off.
