people who don’t like the a’s can get fucked. i’m a nearly 100 percent hater but go oakland. 

Hey, they got 50,000 fans there on Saturday. How many did your team get this weekend?

When starting the year with the lowest payroll in baseball and nearly zero expectations, one would normally consider an ALDS appearance to be quite the accomplishment.

I have no horse in this race, but how is this not interference? Even if he is trying to get out of the way, he doesn’t and the player has to smack the chair away while running in nearly a full sprint to get the ball. 

He looks like he wants to be Ryan Leaf.

What do you need the video for? Just go sit in your iQ and make “vrooom (gurgle)” noises!

Yeah, but at least it’s going to be fun to watch the heads of Cardinals fans explode when when goes in as an Angel.

He’s always gotten a pass on PEDS, and I’ll bet some fanboy will still respond indignantly to your suggesting otherwise.

I’m pretty sure his best career numbers were against the Bucs. For him to show up right as McGwire and Edmonds were declining was just unfair.

This is the other pernicious effect of the way the NBA cap and escalating repeater tax are set up - at a certain point, if an owner doesn’t think they’re one of the favorites for next year’s title, it’s really really hard to justify paying $50M+ a year in extra money just in tax payments for very marginal…

Why on Earth would you offer this period.  

Wait, what? Beef hot dogs > Chicken & Pork hot dogs all day, every day.

None of these look like they have real casings. Test is flawed from the start.

When do the Lakers announce Delonte West is coming out of retirement?

I’ve of the opinion that the Dark Souls games got better overall with each entry (although Dark Souls 2 may be my favorite). Going back to Dark Souls 1 is hard. It feels like a slow clunky prototype by comparison. Many weapons are basically useless due to poor movesets or weak stats. Virtually no penalty to being…
