did I miss the entire discussion of how he looks like Don Rickles?

I guess we found superfan 99 over there.

Just as long as they weren’t living together, we’re ok from the coming apocalypse.

That may be part of Ray’s normal diet so NBD.

They had him on the local post-game show for a while. Setoguchi was looking at him quizzically, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.  It was beautiful. 

A+ on the refractory period.  I mean to shoot well 2x in 4:01 mins is impressive, young man.

Can’t decide if the proper response is “Ovi killed a guy with a trident” or “if he dies, he dies” but both came to mind from reading your comment.

I hear it stems from a girl from Canada they met at camp that one summer a while back.

That’s odd to me. I’m a lifelong east bay guy (over 50 years; my first clear Bay Area sports championship memory is the ‘74-’75 win over the Bullets (I was in 1st grade; I have only vague recollections of the A’s winning). I have never heard “Go Oakland” at a Warriors’ game until the proposed then planned move to SF.

As someone who had his first MRI as a college freshman in 1986 or 1987 (unexplained headaches) (there were very few around back then) and had his last MRI in 2014 (a cardiac MRI that lasted about 90 mins) and now no longer can have an MRI (that’s what happens when you have metal in your body - pacemaker/ICD and…

A wiffle ball is supposed to lose energy much sooner - this just does not compute. 99.2 MPH is unfair.

Do the cops know Kelly Leak’s address?

This is a really good comment. And if it weren’t against the rules, far fewer shady characters can take advantage less sophisticated athletes (and I consider all the athletes and their families “less sophisticated” unless they have gone through this with another kid or the parents themselves were elite, recruited…

Good fucking writing right there.  He took us all around and dropped the bomb of emotion.

Many young people are idiots.  And older ones who continue this type of shit are just jerks.  Some of them probably get off on it but I think most just don’t give a damn

I mean, someone has to be listed in the end of the year, “Things We Put in Our Rectums”, amiright?

he’s just acting like he’s been there before. 

Agreed!  From someone who has been in the game for a long time (oldest about to turn 21), the ability to sincerely apologize to your children is really important to your development. We all fuck up - say things we shouldn’t, do things we shouldn’t. Rarely any one thing is a badge of “bad parent” but, instead, “human…

Full disclosure: I’m Jewish. And if I weren’t, I’d convert for these comments (in the style of Tim Whatley).

I graduated college in 1990 and studied abroad in ‘88-’89. One of my friends, a decent HS and pick-up hoops player, played for the university team where we were studying (a European hoops power but where the intercollegiate competition was more like solid HS play as the good players were not studying but getting paid).…
