Based on how MLB.com keeps track of things, you are whatever position you currently occupy. If a position player moves from 1st to catcher during a game, they’re marked as 1B-C. If a pitcher comes in, moves to left, then pitches again, they’re P-LF-P. So Wilkerson would be [whatever outfield position he was]-P.

¿Porque no los dos? Ain’t no rule that says there can’t be two motives.

They certainly can’t, though I rather meant that they’re not remotely Erdogan’s responsibility, quality of basketball aside.

He was on the fast break, too! I have to assume that whoever cut the video together mistook Kanter for having made the outback, because the alternatives, that they were trying to credit him with some sort of alley-pop assist or that they just thought it would be funny or appropriate to call that a highlight, are just…

The kids are in New York, though...

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s necessarily the right way to do it, though our coach had some rugby experience as well, it’s just what I was taught. As I understood it, it was to make it less likely it ended up as an easy to run through arm-tackle, but it definitely traded some head-injury risk for surety of tackling. I…

A big part of that, I think, is that it feels “safer” to hit a guy than to wrap him up during a full-speed collision. As I was taught, to make a tackle you get to the spot, get low and “break down”, then get your head ahead of the man, “explode through” and wrap him up. In the process of that you’re doing a pair of…

I was at the game, and the issue here wasn’t AL vs NL, it was that Angel Hernandez was just as confused about what happened here as Cora, if not more. He had to put a call in to the league office to give an answer he should have been on top of, and then delayed the game again when the Red Sox made a switch going into…

They could have found those videos, but the coaches wouldn’t give them up.

As my family tells it, my great-grandfather, a FDNY station chief, had a tremendous grift going at Brooklyn Dodgers games for decades. He’d get everyone nosebleed seats, then every inning or so call over an usher, flash his badge, and get upgraded a section or so closer. By the seventh inning, he’d be right on the…

ESPN’s problem is that they’re in the news business, and are refusing stories that they otherwise would and should cover because of this position. Nobody expects better of Fox Sports because FSN has never given them a reason to. But when you’re the network that gave Keith Olberman a sports show, and that gives SVP an…

Don’t be silly. The Knicks would never have gotten the meeting to present the opportunity.

Some of Rousseau’s other ideas advocated for a sort of proto-fascist state, so I think he’d have been a big fan of the Steinbrenner Yankees.

Can’t argue that. Let’s amend that to: Nice that the NFLPA’s healthcare reportedly kicked in, unfortunate that he was in a league without guaranteed contracts. Always buckle up, kids (and adults over the age of 45.)

Glad I got out of soccer while I still could, then. The last thing I want is for a ref to shoot me for resisting a yellow card.

You already do. I call it “taxes”.

Hard work beats talent when talent is busy shagging a princess and all that.

So, if we’re keeping score, United’ll whoop your ass and kill your dog, and then American’ll run up on you afterword to snatch your wallet, your chain, your jacket, and your shoes. Then they’ll all deny you passage for not covering up with the He jacket they still stole and not having those shoes they jacked. Good to…

The initial efforts had no chance. CPD couldn’t find a bike thief in a neon speedo and a sign reading “Free bike here!” in Humboldt Park, let alone a submerged gator.

The only part of this I disagree with with is the implication that it’d be a Cubs game Chance would throw the pitch at. Not only is his namesake a very public Sox fan, you’re 1000% more likely to have strange fauna waddle onto the field at Comiskey/US Cellular/Guaranteed *gag* Rate *retch* Field than Wrigley, and you…
