I am fucking THRILLED by this appointment. Klopp is a great fit with the culture and desired style of play at Liverpool.

Im sorry. Did you see how English teams do in the Champions League? Besides the Cinderella team in 2012 Chelsea, they have been awful.

Impressive, but Lewandoski did it against a top 2-3 team who plays in Champions League in Wolfsburg. Doing it against a Newcastle is just a few shades under that.

“What took so long?” - Robert Lewandowski

Bullshit. He didn’t motion that it was a ground rule double, when you want to do that, you raise both hands over your head. He is an idiot for not throwing the ball back in, but the runners and third base coach were idiots for not advancing farther on the play.

As someone who played ball most of my life into the minors, I applaud Papelbon for calling Harper out on not running the pop up out. I’ve seen Harper pull that shit all season and it looks terrible. You run everything out because you’re supposed to be a leader and the best player on the team. I can guarantee you every…

I had the complete opposite reaction. Papelbon is ‘man big’. I feel like I can handle myself fairly well but when I see a man with big bony meaty hands, I know, regardless of their fighting abilities they could strike me down with one blow. That’s what this looked like. Papelbon just dwarves Harper in the same way.…

Cubs fans have been more insufferable than Red Sox fans for a long time already. Have you ever seen a fanbase in any sport so proud of supporting crappy teams and so completely ignorant about baseball? Cheering every time a Cubs hitter pops the ball up to the second baseman because they think it’s going to carry into…

If hitting Kolten is Wong then I don't want to be white.

Maddon shows his ass. A Cubs tradition as old as 2014.

He’s part of the reason I started hating the Rays. Considering he was crying about the Cards doing this, he should be an NFL coach.

Honestly, I enjoy the hell out of it. Better reviled winners than lovable losers.

Many of us have embraced it.

I saw it; I don’t think it was intentional but I do think it was reckless/incompetent. If you hit a guy square in the head, intentionally or not, routine comeuppance is the best you can hope for. Take your base and call it a day.

Maddon acts like he’s never had a pitcher throw at a guy. He’s a little too self-righteous for my liking.

Maddon is full of 100% Certifed Angus bullshit. His guy hit Holliday square in the ear with a fastball, and then his team got the benefit of bench warnings (foreclosing any consequence-free brushbacks of any kind). Then Rizzo, who gets hit more than anybody else because he stands on top of the fucking plate in every…

My thoughts exactly. I was waiting for like three or four more guys to rush in. It's terrible though.

Yeah, this way less violent than I’d been led to believe it would be. Still excessive, but a pretty reasonable, controlled takedown rather than the running tackle I was expecting to see.

Didn’t Gawker report he was tackled by five people?

This is even more impressive when you realize the officer was unseeded.
