Ragging on the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrating a playoff berth is like ragging on a paraplegic war veteran for celebrating taking his first steps with his new prosthesis. "Chill, dude—it's not like you're RUNNING."

So a bunch of professional baseball players who have each risen through several teams through several levels and played with hundreds of teammates...they had a teammate with a .300 OBP traded away for a top-flight starter so many of them got real sad and lonely and stopped playing baseball well because that guy was a…

That's just really stupid reasoning. "the only numbers that matters" implies that Cespedes is the only thing affecting those numbers. Show me EXACTLY how Cespedes is directly causing those numbers.

So trading Cespedes caused Moss and Norris to forget how to hit and Kazmir to forget how to pitch? Or do you prefer simple narratives designed for kindergartners regardless of how logically flawed and against literally all of the evidence they are.

That's insanely short-sighted.

A rash of injuries to their outfielders/closer/whatever position Lowrie plays/catchers (2 out with concussions) coupled with Kazmir and Gray not pitching lights out anymore (hence the trade for two real starters) and that about sums it up. Now that Gomes is able to play again they have essentially replaced Cespedes…

Kudos to the guy at 1:32 who walks through the whole thing without losing a drop of beer.

I think Washington fans are happy if a QB can come out of a series without tearing up a knee or an ankle.

Kirk Cousins played last year and stunk. I don't know why people keep ignoring this.

Things most 1-year olds can't do:

Oh. You're crying because you're hungry? How about a knuckle sandwich?!

If you're disciplining a one year old, you aren't even fucking trying to parent.

Are our college football players UN ambassadors?

How can the umpire be sure the vitriol wasn't directed at B.J. Upton?

it feels important to post this now

Seriously, any dude that uses "libations" (or even worse "m'lady") who is not dressed in period-accurate reproduction clothing needs to be drawn and quartered. The Queen has so ordered.

Seeing "pull out" has Pap all worked up.
