Pelicans is fantastic. Why do we need to be afraid of every team name? That's how we get ridiculous '90s names like Diamondbacks. Fuck that.

The Vikings are listed at 5-10 and not 5-10-1.

Yes, because the whole fucking county is inside the city limits.

Given that the Rays employ Josh Lueke, the pattern seems to hold up.

Pinch-running for catchers will never happen in the major leagues (and for good reason) and automatic walks feel mildly improper, but everything else is just common sense.

Tiger Stadium doesn't seem like it would have even been close to being large enough to fit a CFL field.

Eugenio Velez has twice as many World Series rings as Barry Bonds and Willie Mays combined. Obviously Eugenio Velez is twice as good.

It's a crime that Hector Sanchez pinch-hit for him last night.

No, it's fucking bullshit that the Cardinals get an extra pick.

The shift is driving to extinction the lefthanded .300 hitter with power. In 1999, 13 lefthanded hitters batted at least .300 with 25 home runs. This year, there is only one such hitter on that pace (the Indians’ Michael Brantley). Including 2014’s projection, only six times has a lefthanded hitter batted .300 with 25…

My thought reading this was that SB Nation is in a lot of ways the sort of outlet that Bleacher Report was being described as aspiring to here.

The issue is that for every Brandon Jennings there's a Jeremy Tyler. I certainly hope this works out for Mudiay, but it's a lot riskier than college.

Seriously, fuck that shit. It's one thing when the media slobbers all over the Yankees, who despite everything else are actually a team with a storied history and a legacy of success, but it's just absurd when they cream their pants over the Knicks, who have literally two rings (fewer than the fucking Warriors) that…

You couldn't have the draft on Sunday, then.

It's worth noting that the few Indian non-cricketers that do compete on an international stage are huge deals. If you turned on Indian TV in 2012, you couldn't stop hearing about Jwala Gutta and Sania Mirza and Leander Paes and whether Mirza and Paes were willing to compete together. They're household names, despite…

Even without Rose, the Bulls with Melo would probably be the best team in the East. Their problem last year was that they didn't have anyone who could score even a little bit; plug in Carmelo Anthony, and that problem is solved.

I'm glad the Warriors will finally get to show off their 1975 NBA championship.

It looks like the positions of the Angels and Cubs are transposed on that table.

Maryland definitely has more ACC championships than any other school in the Big Ten.

Oh yes, nothing in this thread should be interpreted to mean that I am not 100% on the Stefonnukah train. If Diggs is healthy and Long is healthy and Brown is healthy or if they just don't get injured all at once, who knows what'll happen?
