The shocking thing one of the articles linked above is that he hasn’t gotten a hit off a slider since the All-Star break. I thought it was just diminished protection with Yankee injuries, but he’d get a diet of sliders even if Gehrig and Ruth showed up to flank him.

He’s not Pederson or (God help us) Schwarber. He’s still hitting .285 and nobody on the team is near his OPS. You could split the difference and focus him entirely on hitting, making him DH and putting in extra time with the coaches. Apparently he can’t see a slider any more.

Scuttling in the wartime sense is destroying your own material to prevent the enemy from getting its hands on it; the name that pops to mind is Scapa Flow. Not sure how it would apply in a baseball situation unless somebody was sabotaging their trade value.

How many people non-hate watch it? Is keeping it on worth firing actual productive ESPN employees? Who knows, I hope it and cable news hemorrhage viewers at an astonishing and terminal rate.

He had 37 total TDs just two years ago, along with 18 INTs and 14 fumbles. So he backslid a little in 2016 and in 2017 looks like a 44-year-old Steve DeBerg trying one last shot with the Falcons after a 5-year layoff.

Coincidentally, a young Joe Arpaio was a Confederate private conscripted from the territory.

Finally, Walking with a Panther is being honored!

There’s a lot of square mileage over which to spread one’s tepid feeling of belonging to a community counterbalanced with a sort of existential dread that you fucked up somehow.

He threw off the back foot of an elderly man with a degenerative heel problem.

At least Bigsby is a more pitiable character given his blindness and lies that were fed to him. This is just the Ruckusiest of Ruckuses.

At least his “Serena’s fat and out of shape” takes have finally come true. Nobody tell him she’s heavily pregnant, it’d kill him.

Now could he have wore a catcher’s mask that he tears of when there’s a pop-off to facilitate his transition?

They should name it in honor of the legacy of Tony LaRussa: Kitty Sark

Until the birds of Memphis can freely take a dump on Chandler I refuse to believe he has as much utility as a Confederate statue.

Confederate All-Powerful Robot: It is heritage, not hate

Mine wasn’t a comment on the inside scoops gotten by superfans and hackers, but rather the aimlessness and Ready Player One-level pandering of the show.

It doesn’t matter to me, I sensed that the show would eventually hit some sort of “have we exhausted all permutations of our non-dead characters” and rank stupidity would follow. The books similarly lost me when it became Renaissance Festival new character pile-on somewhere around #4; it’s no wonder he’s stalled so…

If somebody said “just kidding, this is some bad fan-fiction from some loser message board” I’d totally believe it

Here is everything in the leaked script to Bananas, which is Game of Thrones— a headline that made no sense in 1971

Hey y’all, we just need to advance the paradigm of team branding through synergistic middle management gibberish, bless our hearts.
