Get better eyes. Holy shit.

I didn’t find this summer to be brutally hot. Consistently quite warm, no doubt, but except for a big blast right around Labor Day, I found it relatively tolerable (and I am normally dread summer here).

Gonna be tough for writers and announcers to cover the World Series without being able to use “Crisp” as an adjective. You just deleted 25,000 of their words right there.

You just know they won’t even give Kaepernick a look for this position. smh

Opting out of a contract isn’t remotely the same thing as quitting a job. Opting out is a normal and intended part of the labor market of professional sports.

As white people, we should really come to a consensus as to whether or not this protest is appropriate.

No. The catcher doesn’t have the right to stand in the base runners path with out the ball. Unless the throw brings the catcher into the base runners path. Contreras stuck his leg out to prevent Culberson from touching the plate before the ball got there and because the throw did not move Contreras into the runners…

...49ers QB C.J. Beathard...

You need to trade mark that title immediately.

Its a poorly designed tax but just to be clear higher taxes on toxic goods reduces consumption, and less sugar reduces diabetes. It worked with cigarettes. Did you know diabetes is a more deadly disease globally than HIV? That costs us all a ton. People are making crap choices, and soda companies have huge budgets to…

Coming from a Nationals and DC sports fan in general, and with respect, but Joe Maddon can shut right the fuck up about calls he doesn’t like that impact a game.

It’s just you because you are full of shit.

Coming from a guy who never has to get lit up.

We know why the rule was changed. Scott Cousins broke Buster Posey’s leg, and Posey was out for months. MLB didn’t want a repeat of All-Star players being gruesomely injured on plays at the plate, so they devised this rule. It was similar to when Chase Utley broke Ruben Tejada’s leg and they subsequently changed the…

You had me at Smoot-Hawley.

It’s just you

Agreed. I would like to know what Maddon would say if they got the out at home, but Contreras is out for the rest of the series with a broken leg or concussion. To me this play is just an unfortunate by-product of protecting players (and their contracts).

Yeah, you beat me to it. Contreras gets blown up if that rule isn’t around, and we’re back to collisions that are arguably more dangerous than what happens on football kickoffs.

But without that rule, doesn’t Culberson just plow into Contreras? I get that this is the MLB equivalent of the “What’s a catch?” but I think that play is dramatically different if the rule doesn’t exist. Maddon wants it repealed, but then we go back to arguably the most dangerous hits in US sports. I think Maddon has…

It’s not just that times change, you old fuck.
