Hypocrite alert!

Nice fedora, Kap.

Yep. The youtube video says the father was a former York County Commissioner (EDIT: and a Republican) and Thompson is president of the York branch of the NAACP and vice chair of the Democratic Party of York County. They have definitely had run-ins before (or at least knew who each other were and what they believed…

Thanks for posting something that was already explicitly mentioned AND linked to in the article, just in case anybody else is just as incapable of reading the article as you apparently are.

Prince Fielder was 5-for-10 off Bartolo; his father, only 1-for-7.

Especially when there is no rule in place against it. You may not like it, but so what, call the league afterwards and address it as a gap in the rules. Otherwise, let the boys play.

Why the actual fuck is the umpire involving himself here? Because Baez was being rude? If he wants to stand in front of the baserunner, that’s the Cubs’ problem to deal with. Jesus, I hate when referees are morality police.

Yeah, stealing signs is part of the game and they should get better signs, but using gamesmanship to prevent it way out of bounds apparently

Colorado’s announcers were pretty awful in that clip.

They literally did not do that.

As always, the classy NY rags have it best.

Settle down, man. They were reviewing to see if the rebounder was fouled before the final buzzer.

If they were looking to give the Celtics another chance wouldn’t they have just called the foul initially?

But it’s easy to dance around it without outright admitting that yes, you’ve deliberately constructed a roster that will secure high draft picks and be as cheap as possible while doing so.

It’s easy. Just say “We are building for sustained long term success but we still expect the players we have today to try to win every time they go on the field.” That statement is broadly true and doesn’t give the current players reason to give marginal effort.

Almost any answer other than “We are in fact tanking” would be better than what he gave.

I wonder if Jeter was not attached to Bruce Sherman, would Manfred and the owners have allowed Sherman to buy the Marlins. I doubt it. Jeter’s name still carries heavy influence.

Exactly! He had a ‘reasonable’ way out of this. “We aren’t contenders, we’re rebuilding with youth.” But he’s too much of a self-important dick.

He is not the owner.

When the Marlins ownership group gets together, Jeter can’t see the sucker.
