I didn't say his bat is blowing people away, but he was supposed to be a total liability at the plate.

And his game-winning double against STL two nights before. The guy is a revelation — came in with a golden glove but everyone dismissed his bat.

ATL represent

Myler was possibly the least best student in his composition class, but what he may have lacked in intellect he compensated for with derring-do.

Falcons fan, but that's funny. It's like a broken record: "Ryan, drops back, has time, finds Jacquizz Rodgers in the flat...four yard gain on the play."

Now I realize your just an imbecile. The rule against perpetuities is a PROPERTY law concept. If you tried to bring that up in court, the judge would issue a restrictive covenant against you.

Your right on BTCJ316. Even if they convinced the judge this is the best, the photos are clearly triple hearsay — live action -> video camera -> court copy -> reporter taking picture with cell phone. Good luck prosecutors!!

Hey!

No, but seriously, before you go all baseball-reference.com, stop to consider whether I was simply making an inane jab mocking the Newsday line.

So fresh and original - love it.

With that, BJ Upton wasted a chance to climb within .020 of the Mendoza line for the first time since Opening Day.

THIS. He's an ex-security cop who stole his name from a true thug to act hard.

No, parking directly across from a driveway is rude if there is any way for you to park in a different space. It's annoying as hell not having free directional range when backing out of the driveway. Of course, Bob should have just had the balls to talk to his neighbors and ask them directly rather than send out a…

True coffee snobs don't order any of that prissy shit you mentioned. It's black only, and then it's all about the variety. Sulawesi, baby!

No, you're right. Johnson has been amazing. He (undeservedly) stays under the radar because everyone is obsessed with how poorly the Uptons, especially BJ, are playing, and because they're tirelessly plugging Freddie for the ASG. Anyway, I've never seen the league so chock full of exciting talent.

Being a homer, I'll add Evan Gattis and Andrelton Simmons to that list. The mystique and story of the former and the ridiculous Ozzie-like glove of the latter were enough to make me an everyday baseball fan again.

Only oilmen and spoiled men in Texas, and y'all know I'm no Daniel Day-Lewis.

Nice

It was purposefully absurd. I'm not knocking Martin's decision at all.

of course — I tend to side with the "athletes should get as much as they possibly can any way they can" due to the short career arc. I just think the "you idiot, who wouldn't take the money" argument is weak.
