They didn’t inherit their wealth by being the smartest.

It only means something to Jerry and anyone who’s willing to indulge “I’m the one in charge here” horseshit. Jerry needs to go the fuck away.

Thanks and I appreciate the civility in your disagreement. I hate “both sides”-erism. But I think there’s at least a little something to it here. I have no idea if Alonso is considered a dirty player generally. I’m also not convinced it was a particularly dirty play. It might have been.

If you look at a couple of the replays (like the one starting around 40 seconds) then you can see Flacco sees Alonso very late (watch him turn his head slightly in Alonso’s direction and then immediately try to begin to slide); and, as a result, starts his slide too late. They’re both running at full speed. Alonso is…

I don’t agree. At those angles and those speeds, how can a defender put himself in a position to make a tackle (or force the QB to need to slide) and avoid opening himself to that exact penalty? I’m not someone who longs for the old days. I’m just pointing out there is an inherent problem with that play. It’s a no-win…

It’s a very fun team; and I love them all.

Remind me again when Marwin Gonzalez let the 70 year old ump bat for him against the best closer in the game.

+1 correct pronunciation of HOU.

Darren Wilson’s lawyer sure has let himself go.

Yeah, man. No Dodger hate here. I’ve always liked Puig. Same for Kershaw and Darvish. Impossible not to cheer for a guy like Turner. I love Dodger Stadium. And I appreciate any team ownership group willing to spend money to make the team competitive. So, yeah, if it’s got to go the other way, then at least it will be…

That’s the thing. It’s not just that they did what every road team in a seven-game series wants to do (get a split of the first two) it’s how they did it: (1) they kicked the Dodgers right in the dick; and (2) it was their stars (some of whom have struggled recently) doing the hardest kicks. Going forward no matter…

I’m an Astros fan and (while completely terrified when it happened) completely appreciated Culberson’s reaction. The crew was praising Verlander for coming out of the clubhouse to fire up the boys between innings after they blew the lead in the 10th. I took Culberson’s reaction in a similar way. He was obviously happy…

Joe Buck believes the best baseball game is when the men can’t actually hit the baseball.

One of the many great things about Correa and Altuve is that they piss off all the right people.

If you didn’t know who George Springer was before tonight then maybe you’re not much a baseball fan. He’s a 27 year-old All-Star CF (former first round pick) who hit 34 HRs from the leadoff spot this year (in only 140 games). He has 99 career homers in about three seasons worth of career games. He’s the guy on the…

Right. When I wrote “ever in MLB history” I meant it’s never happened in regular season game either.

5 HRs in extra innings alone. I think I heard on the broadcast it’s the first time that’s ever happened in MLB history.

I need a smoke and a drink.

There is the “Teri Hatcher on the tarmac” thing. Google it.

I remember when Embiid played 32 NBA minutes in a single night for the first time ever. Oh, wait. No. No, I don’t.
