In my head I started reading the block quote in Joe Buck’s voice, but after two sentences I got bored and read the rest in Vin Scully’s voice.

Could be worse; in baseball Mr .305 is above average!

One can only hope that Judge will inspire a generation of hulking young men to play baseball instead of destroying their brains by playing football.

The 2006 St Louis Cardinals who ended up winning the WS that year are a good example of how difficult the playoffs can be both to win and to predict. 83-78 Regular Season record (3rd worst record ever to make the playoffs).

Is it just me, or is Melky applauding Freeland right at the end of the last clip? I want to believe that’s the case, because that’d be a good way to start the week.

is this true, or is this afib?

I don’t really want to wade into a squabble about this or anything, but I would - to a degree - argue that it is us who are obsessed with “Becky.”

For anybody to think this is a perfect game, they’re kidding themselves.

Good news for the United States, bad news for Milwaukee County. 

just think how long it took the giraffe to swallow his pride!

Obviously they won’t go. No one in the NBA supports a travel ban.

The rare “pants off yet opting for second over third base” maneuver.

Not sure I like the direction the sausage race has taken.

“OK sure, what’s the worst that could happen?”

I mean, that is total fucking bullshit. First of all, why is it incumbent on the batter to get out of the way. Don’t throw at the batter! Second of all, it looked like he was keyed in, ready to swing, and then when he saw the ball was coming for him, it was too late.

Show of hands: who now wants to see a picture of this agent?

What about Warren Spahn?

“People not in mke love him! Go Clarke!”

One too many pats on the head.

I always LOVED this episode. And the fact that it's now 20 years old freaks me out a little. Goddamn I'm getting old. I remember things that happened 20 years ago.
