This would be more believable if it also involved Stan Kroenke trying to get the City of St. Louis to pay Sam’s salary.

Well, he tried with Peyton Manning’s wife, but she shut him down with “nope, not doing THAT again....”

+1 Ruben Amaro overpay

This is the end of your innocence.

Chris Paul wanted to buy these suits and wear them to Los Angeles, but Gilbert threw a tantrum and wouldn’t let him.

One can only hope that every road team the Yankees play in 2017 will present him with a lovely framed portrait of himself as a centaur.

Victory will be theirs!

Largely because Adam Silver is not a mouthbreathing fucktard empty suit, like certain other commissioners of sport I’m aware of....

I think I speak for most people when I say “Wait, WHAT???”

I think Griffin can be a great QB if you structure the offense around him; the catch-22 being that if you structure the offense around him, basically nobody else can succeed at the QB position if he gets hurt. Which he will because of how he plays.

“Drake, let me tell you about Sparky Lyle. Sparky Lyle understood how a man plays baseball: he tries hard, and he shits on his teammate’s birthday cake in the locker room. That’s baseball. Don’t listen to these Dominicans with their bat flips who disrespect the game. You want some dip?”

How soon we forget....

And then Chris Sale will drill him, even if he hasn’t hit a home run against the ChiSox all year, because UNWRITTEN RULES!!!!!!!1!!!11!!!!!! SCRAPPY!

“Weird” does not begin to describe this. This really seems like Woodward is using this pre-contract as a very strong message of “nothing gets done at this club unless the man who signs the checks approves of it”, and Sir Alex does not sign the checks.

I thought Fear, Strikes, Pout was a better film......

The flaw, though, is that this is going to give other teams some pause about bringing him in. Probably not a ton of pause, because.. well, he’s really good at pitch-balling.

My theory: Sale is probably kind of a hot-headed idiot.

A broken clock is still right twice a day....

I need better glasses.
