He’s getting paid $18 million to do that.

If your DH is a league average hitter, that’s butt!

You’re confusing replacement level and average. Replacement level is roughly a player most organizations could find in AAA and call up today. Replacement level is butt. The average DH has already been worth 1.0 fWAR so far this year.

But at least he’s not Victor Martinez, who is somehow already at -1.6 fWAR.

Marcus Smart? We’re worried that a backup guard who cannot shoot isn’t going to get a giant multi-year contract?

I was kind of thinking that the Warriors dominating the Eastern Conference All-Stars was a bit of hyperbole, but damn...it’s not. Not even the Warriors starting 5. Their entire roster vs. the entire Eastern Conference All-Star Roster? I think the Warriors win that series with ease.

Holy shit this is terrible advice. Why in the world would you go to a mortgage broker to ask if people should take on a smaller mortgage?

Couldn’t you just buy seats in separate parts of the plane? And if you have to change flights and get split up, well it would be the same as splitting up anyway ahead of time right? So what’s the benefit of preemptively doing that?

I mean Chicagoans regularly protest at Rahm’s house, despite him being a Democrat and Obama’s best buddy.

Hell yeah, we need a system that lets rich people hoard all their money until they move out of the country to retire!

Lol pretty sure you took care of that on your own, genius/

Still can’t believe Benny the Bull and a high school marching band on the tarmac didn’t get Tracy McGrady to Chicago. What more could a man ask for?

If you’re someone who eats out regularly, United’s MileagePlus Dining can also really amp up the rewards earnings. You can add any credit card; you’ll get your regular credit card rewards, plus (at specific restaurants) you’ll get United points for your meals (and they often do special bonuses too).

I’d love to see a list of even 10 good charities that are spending 30% of their funds on overhead. I sincerely do not believe that there are 10 that exist. That’s a crazy amount for any good charitable organization to be spending.

Bob Gibson was ahead of him for 2 of those 3 years if we’re going by bWAR. But yeah, I’m giving him those 3 seasons.

He was also the best player in the league maybe, if we’re being generous, 3 of those 23 seasons. But yeah, I’d say he’s got an argument for getting a raw deal too.

Hope he texts me back with the pee tape.

Actually, it’s pretty rare for a player to be the best in the world at his sport for let’s say 75% of the time he’s played the game and only make his sport’s postseason once. (Also DeGrom has played in the postseason 1 out of his 4 seasons, Trout 1 out of 7).

Kevin Love to the Warriors. Steph and his mount just sprint down to the opposite end of the court after an opponent’s make or miss. Steph climbs up (or maybe even a 2nd teammate runs with them to give a boost). Love throws one of his patented “oh shit, every grandpa in America is going to love this outlet pass” passes…

Lol did you even read the article? He literally put a quote from Fred Rogers in there that says exactly what you’re talking about, how the show would lose it’s sponsors and be cancelled. There’s a second paragraph where Rich talks about how an out gay man never would have been able to sustain a career in show business…

I’ve never been more offended in my life than by this comment.
