Is he a “sure-fire” Hall of Famer? I’m honestly asking. I think he’s the kind of player who will turn off traditional voters because of his lack of power production for a Right Fielder (123rd all time among RF with 113 HR, 90th all time in RsBI with 743, 220th all time with an OPS of .763. He is 148th among RF in OPB,…

Right? I don’t want to turn this into a “All The Great Things About New Girl” thread, but I will say that Winston’s development as the series has gone on has been outstanding.

He’s no Winnie the Bish, that’s for sure:

I’m down if we’re allowed to skip the hot mess that was season 4. ‘Hush’ does not make up for the god-awful Buffy/Riley Finn romance.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the Werth contract. Everyone said that Werth was going to be overpaid, but that it was worth it to show to other free agents that DC was serious about building a good team. And, to be fair to Werth, using the sum that one win is worth six million dollars, Werth outperformed his…

“Say what you will about a movie like Watchmen, but at least it had the stones to let Rorschach die over his principles.” They had the “stones” to kill Rorschach because the characters in Watchmen were created for that series. Moore wanted to use Charlton characters and DC basically told Moore to create his own…

That is the worst part of going to Forbes (I only go to read Mendelson; I’m sure the rest of the site has some hot garbage). It’s not even motivational most of the time.

Scott Mendelson over on Forbes also wrote at length about why all of these ‘McCarthy as box office poison’ articles are stupid: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmen…

That’s all well and good, but DC (or, at least the DC fans) have been posturing the DC movies as the opposite of Marvel movies. So, the fault here isn’t that the movie-goers are expecting too much from DC. It’s that this movie (and Man of Steel before it) have been viewed by DC fans as movies that are visually…

I think that may be a bridge too far. It seems silly to kill the man and then gild the lily by burning down his house.

I’m hoping Syndergaard gets to Utley first. A 97 mph fastball in the ear could force Utley to miss more than two games.

There was also this exchange, that I found to be wonderfully bonkers:

Wikipedia says March 30, 2007.

I’m a little more partial to this version:

Calling him out would be one thing. She said he had a small dick. She tried to kill him on Twitter.

Right? Let’s play a game. Young guy, considered a great legal mind by his party, decides to run for President during his first term as Senator, and some questions get raised about his eligibility to run based on perceived issues about his citizenship. Why is all this an issue when its Barack Obama, but not when its…

I was going to say that it’s weird that he didn’t serve because he is old enough to have served in the military during the Reagan administration, which I assume would be a double victory for him. But then I saw he is only 45. He looks awful for 45.

“plush-bottomed Pentagon bureaucrat”. That is the weirdest way to describe someone. Is he trying to imply that there is a lot of yiffing going on at the Pentagon?

I’ve found that I am much more content having cut out morning radio completely and listening to podcasts.

And why the Cardinals? He’s from TN, she’s from CA. Nothing about this relationship makes sense.
