Live from the Sports Desk at TrumpTV! Curt Schilling!

You screengrabbed fantasy football. Bruh, why? WHY, BRUH!

When I moved to Chicago, I ended up seeing two Jets-Blackhawks games during my first year here. The Jets had Lowery and Wheeler and all I remember was “THOSE DUDES ARE REALLY BIG AND FAST” and from that point forward, I kept tuning into Jets games.

And Jewford, the curly headed front man!

I remember when he came to TCU my sophomore year while campaigning. Seeing as you were 23 when working during this election, he apparently wasn’t lying about trying to cull in younger idealists.
And for the funny, I totally spent $10 on a “Why The Hell Not” T-shirt with the cigar burning on it.

That is every newspaper doing something for itself ever.

This is a shockingly accurate description.

Going up the middle:
C: Sandy Alomar, Jr.
2B/SS: Roberto Alomar / Omar Vizquel
CF: Kenny Lofton

... Damn.

My favorite Wilonsky memory -
His mastery of the website and CMS made it so that he knew how to make sure his content wouldn’t get blocked by the paywall. For a while he was the only non-sports person on staff to know how to manipulate the system that way.
The result was not having to wait for a full editorial…

I can’t forget the Big Hurt

Phil Kessel is a commemorative ticket lanyard away from being a dad wearing a Phil Kessel jersey.

Think of it this way. Had Cleveland won in 1995, then the Braves of the 90s would have been that team.
Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, Andruw, Justice, McGriff, Lopez

This is a fun discussion. Other nominees:
- Late 90s Astros - Biggio, Bagwell, Bell, Alou, Hampton, Lima, Reynolds, Randy Johnson (half a season)
- Strike-shortened Expos: Walker, Grissom, Pedro, Alou, Wetteland, Cordero
- Mid-90s Rockies: Blake Street Bombers

Those Indians teams were a blast to watch growing up. In middle school I decided to try and adopt Belle’s stance and the only thing that really paid off was how he loaded his hands. The low-to-high was a great timing mechanism. Then I remembered that I was a skinny 14-year-old and the phase passed.

Note, I’m well aware of the useless math that box score numbers and the Triple Crown represent (both for offense and defense). In a way, I was trolling.
The same thing happens in football without a QB rating system where you get:
X quarterback throws X,XXX yards and XX TDs, but with XX INTs
Y quarterback throws only XXX…

You mean when they raised the mound in 1968?

Those 1994/1995 Astros were really coming into their own. Then Terry Collins kind of went nuts, and there was the firesale/mega-trade with San Diego of 1996 that brought Phil Plantier to the Astros.

Albert Belle, 1998: .328/49/152 > 1967 Carl Yastrzemski
Albert Belle, 2000: .317/50/126 > 1966 Frank Robinson

But Todd Frazier, that’s a real ballplayer

Shit, how could I leave out Frank Catalanotto or Ramon Vazquez
