If he strikes out on the low, outside fastball one more time, I’m going to choke someone. You think that pitchers have found that little hole in his swing?

Actually, the Cubs infield is statistically pretty sound. Rizzo, Castro (at 2nd) and Russell are all above-average infielders. Bryant is just about exactly average at 3rd base. It’s the outfield that’s a hot mess, and I’d guess that platooning Bryant at 3rd and outfield doesn’t help his defensive stats.

I’ll just leave this here

If there’s discretion, then they are not “Ground Rules” by definition. Are we now going to negotiate on a ball that bounces over the fence in the right field corner since “everyone knows it would have been a triple”?

Now you’re just being arbitrary: fly balls and one hoppers into the ivy are ok, but ground balls are sacred? That doesn’t make sense. Just deal with the fucking ivy.

Totally, unquestionably wrong

Of course, this catalog came out 3 years before PETA was founded and probably 20 years before anyone had heard of it.

I love both pickled herring and buttermilk, but licorice (especially salty licorice of the non-Twizzlers variety) is nasty. Those pumpkin spice M&Ms are nasty too—very chemicaly taste.

I don’t care about fashion at all, but I’m constantly amazed by what a great job that she (and, presumably, her stylist) do at picking out dresses that look just stunning. I can’t think of literally anyone else who does nearly as good a job at dressing themselves—never a clunker. You’d think that in Hollywood there…

Three words: veterinary supply house. It seems like almost every dog I know gets put on synthroid eventually. You’ll be rolling in the stuff. When the masses are looting all the CVS and Walgreens, I’m going to the vet’s office and Farm and Fleet.

Oh God, here come the fireworks.

Hell yeah. I’m all about Gunderson for MVP

The king is dead; long live the king. And ribeyes for all.

Agreed. My children are generally nice and well-mannered, and the number of times that “Sweetie...” would have gotten them to do something could be counted on one hand. Maybe one of Jason Pierre Paul’s hands.

Really? Many awful people have long-running and successful enterprises. If people need to put up with your shit to pay the bills, they will often put up with your shit. The more amazing thing is how someone like Rosie, who seems to be very difficult to deal with on a personal level, is spectacularly unfunny and…

I took the zing out of the King of Siam
I took the starch out of the sails
Of the Prince of Wales
It’s no great art, gettin’ the heart of a man
On a silver platter
A little brains-a little talent
With the emphasis on the latter!

The only thing wet is the A’s locker room floor at the Coliseum.

It’s a fucking joke. This is a sports and snark website. Do you know nothing about Billy Beane?

There is huge, huge Silicon Valley, Wall Street, media and pro sports money behind Draft Kings and Fan Duel. If you don’t think that they’ll be just fine, you’re kidding yourself.

That’s the joke (in this case). You should take your irony meter into the shop. It needs a little recalibration.
