St. Petersburg resident Jeff Beerbohm, 52, told the AP yesterday. “As usual, the weatherman, I don’t know why they’re paid.”

There’s a reason I picked the Illinois game for my annual return trip to USF

This and the Liriano salary dump are just absolutely infuriating. I went to a Baseball Prospectus event a few months that had a Q and A with NH. He clearly doesn’t want to be here anymore

His 7 year peak WAR is 40, which is below the average 42.5 of a Hall of Fame 3B. That simply counts his 7 best years, and Wright had 8 full seasons. Great player, but not one of the 5 best 3B ever

That pick represents a massive opportunity to acquire another star though, as does the tax saving system realized from this trade. I don’t see why Ainge will flinch- the Cavs will be a toxic locker room if Kyrie is back there and it’s pretty obvious they couldn’t get a better return than what was already offered…

They actually basically did that. The issue was Jeremy Lin got hurt. But they took a flier on Anthony Bennett, because why not try to salvage a #1 pick. Of course they were the idiots who let Yogi Ferrell walk away- it’s not like he’s a star but he proved to be a useful player in Dallas.

The top of the class is pretty strong- Melvin Bagley (Duke), Michael Porter (Missouri), Deandre Ayton (Arizon) and Luka Doncic (international, but hardly a man of mystery) are potential top-tier players.

Heaven forbid someone named Lynch starts a town.

The long term outlook for Cleveland’s haul is uncertain- if the Nets pick ends up closer to 10 than 1, and if Zizic is just a backup, it wasn’t much of a long term haul. Obviously they improved in the short term but if LeBron leaves, the Celtics are left as the clear best in the east. Even if Kyrie doesn’t have…

The video clip actually summarizes Pitt football perfectly- early on, both Fitz and Revis are milling about. Pitt football is about having absolutely amazing players who don’t win shit in their careers. Shady McCoy and Aaron Donald are the next to suffer the same fate

The offensive part can be cleaved off pretty easily, or they can stick it in Heinz History Center. The Stephen Foster Memorial will still be there (and if Pitt tries to rename it, I suspect they’ll experience a sharp decline in donation)

I’m a short guy but a decent athlete. I was a good high school player- we got deep into the playoffs in my sophomore year when I was a bench player and made the playoffs in my two years as a starter. I hit almost .350 as a senior and probably had 15 extra base hits. I never once hit a homer. At 5'7" I was able to just…

The swing is totally different, and going from a flat bat to a round bat is a big adjustment. Also, more countries also have a lot people who play soccer, which rewards jumping ability.

There’s also no reason to expect that he will remain healthy. When you’ve had so many injuries before 27, and when you’re a really big dude, it’s more likely than not that you’ll have continued injury issues. As for the cost, when healthy and when he keeps the average over .275 and the OBP over .350, he’s worth it,…

It looks like his chest is still a bit bigger than his gut, so he’s got that going for him.

What the fuck are you talking about? The statue was the pretense for the rally. At the rally, they were chanting white power slogans.

Complicated solutions presented for the simple mind:

Why? It’s a state university in Youngstown, Ohio.

Is there anything less appealing than the male body?

Freedom of expression should be valued above all else in this country. The protestors are engaging in the marketplace of ideas and losing.
