They didn’t give him a contract. He was traded halfway through the contract the Mariners gave him back in 2014. And while he is “past his prime,” he hasn’t been that bad. Just last year, when he was limited by injury, he hit .303/.374/.471. Is he overpaid? I think so.  But are those numbers awful? Hardly.

Hurtardo?  More like Hurthearto.

You are 100% correct, not only about the run on sentence but about the individual calculus. Working out with your teammates, making an impression in front of the coaches, and bearing little cost is 100% better than doing it on your own. And until the union gets a backbone, none of this will change.

Interesting that Italian teams have only won the Serie A / Champions League double three teams.  One each by Milan, Juve and Inter.  Six of Milan’s 7 European Cups have come when they haven’t won the league.

Sorry but that’s bullshit.

Pajamas are not an approved uniform.

Well that and the whole dying and coming back to life thing.

I mean, it’s so strange that a guy who has done nothing but play baseball and revel in his celebrity his entire life, has no idea how to manage an organization as complex as a baseball team.

I hope Larry Bird falls down a manhole

Maybe their La Liga success is blinding them to the problem. It’s such a top-heavy league with really only two teams that can give them consistent trouble.

Yeah but the referees can’t change the current rule in the middle of the game.

The replay officials did indeed get it right, by the letter of the law. But by the spirit of the law, the on-ice officials got it right too

My wife and I hung out with some of her classmates at Johnny V’s after her drunken West Milwaukee High school reunion. Her classmates are insane.

Sorry but I just don’t get the Kyrie love at all. Yeah he puts up stats, but the guy is hardly a leader. I’d let him walk.

He’s not a great player, but he’s the only one of those dudes who showed up in every game.
