I think he was in the hall before this but now he has an entire wing named after him. The “curse breaker”

This is the point at which Epstein gets to write his own checks, right? Amazing track record.

Theo Epstein said he’d turn the franchise around in 5 years, and in 5 years he’s got them winning the World Series. And he just put himself into the Hall of Fame.

WOWWIE. Congrats Cubs fans. THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A GAME 7!!! Also- Theo Epstein broke the Red Sox curse in ‘04 AND the Cubs curse. Holy shit. One of the best executives the game’s ever seen.

“I looked around the room and everyone had their heads down. And I said no.”

I live in Austin and am a pretty big Texas Longhorns fan, but I know quite a few Baylor fans around here as well. A (thankfully) small number of them have accused me of only wanting to pile on a rival’s misfortune whenever I vehemently discuss this matter. To them, I say that I’ve worked in a domestic violence shelter…

Cubs’ third base coach needs to have severe tendonitis from giving the take sign tomorrow night. A walk is as good as a hit, Javier.

Well, it wasn’t really that awesome, but you sure managed to fuck whatever it was up.

“Game 7 is every kid’s dream.” Yeah, and every 34-year-old’s dream is that his team wins in 4.

Surveillance that led to no leads, no terrorism investigations, nada. It was just profiling for the sake of profiling. 

a resolution that doesn’t rely as much on the good faith of the police

So I somehow managed to completely miss the “settlement on” part of that headline so I read it as “NY Judge: NYPD’s Surveillance of Muslim’s Is Not ‘Sufficient’,” and it’s kind of depressing how not surprised I was by it.

To keep their pants from falling down.

By MLB rule managers have to be in a uniform. Rule 3.15: “No person shall be allowed on the playing field during a game except players and coaches in uniform, managers, news photographers… There is also a rule that everyone in the dugout has to be in a uniform, with a few exceptions.

Considering the game hasn’t started yet, I’ll say no.

And then there’s the distressing trend for managers to dress like players instead of wearing a nice suit, the one way the NBA is clearly superior to MLB and the NFL.

Your friends would rate your mom -1. And that would be ok with you. And you would be fine with that being written and disseminated throughout the institution where she dedicates her time. Because men like to have those conversations, end of story.

Optics.

I get why this is strange to you. But the reason it’s different when men do this than women is that these things aren’t happening in a vacuum. The attitude displayed in the “scouting report” is the same attitude that drives kids like Brock Turner to think that women are just objects, and is used as justification for…

If you’re friends, colleagues or semi-teammates with a group of women, pretend to have a friendship / kinship with them to their face, then rate them by fuckability behind their back with your male buddies then yeah, you should be ashamed.
