I bet all of James Corden’s jokes are original, but he’s still awful.

This actually kind of works towards those who believe the RBI is meaningful. 

About the same time as when we talk about how apples and oranges are both fruits but also still different things.

This is the Chris Davis of takes. At one point people thought it was good, and in certain contexts it was great, but it just keeps getting trotted out there whether it makes sense or not.

There are 7.5 billion people on the planet. Budgeting 1,000 per month that would be 90 trillion dollars per year. Even if you want to add 10 trillion dollars a year, that represents a quadrupling of our 4 trillion dollar budget, which would be raided from companies and individuals who are already struggling to compete…

No. We can’t.

We call that the “Reverse Rick Ankiel”!

you can tell he’s a great teammate because he doesn’t use “All By Myself” as a walk-up song

Fully open borders is a bad idea.

I stand by my theory that there is a finite amount of ‘Chris Davis’ baseball ability in the universe and it is currently being used by the A’s Khris [sic] Davis

Remember in the days before guaranteed contracts, when you’d have a guy like this, and you could just take him out back and shoot him?

Surgeons these days are amazing.  They’re working on trampolines now?  I thought laser surgery & robot surgery were awesome.  This is a whole new level.

Flip him? It is a million miles beyond delusional to think he could be traded.

This, then, is what happens when a king of the three true outcomes loses his bat speed, and with it his power to keep pitchers honest, and is reduced to a one-true-outcome hitter. (The one true outcome for all of us is decline, and, eventually, death.)

And also for your body. 

yeah well, at least these Jet updates won’t kill anybody

I find this stuff endlessly fascinating and look forward to reading the book!
