One dude made this?

True, having Trout didn’t help the angels get to the playoffs. But if you think you can even sniff that wild card spot, you should want Machado. The Astros may very well easily win another AL West title, but they got negative WAR from their SS last season. They should absolutely be replacing him. The Yankees have huge…

How about people just talk to each other?  Communication is really good, or so I hear.

You definitely just need in the over for a few minutes.  Really, you should just broiler the cheese on top to melt it.  The noodles and sauce are already cooked.

Machado was worth ~6 wins last year, and has been worth about that in three of the last four years, and he’s only 26 so he figures to maintain that high level of production. Unless your shortstop is Francisco Lindor, your team will be better with Machado than without him. Basically, the only team that wouldn’t need…

You should be upset that teams are not literally falling over themselves to sign these guys.  I would personally love it if the Yankees signed one of these dudes, and hate it if the Red Sox did.  But the fact that it’s Washington, Philly, and Chicago, and NOBODY ELSE, is the concerning part.  A third of the league is…

Only sinkholes, really.

I have an aunt and uncle from Texas, and they have a ranch out in Hill country, which is basically desert. They leave water, for, and supplies outside their ranch for immigrants.  Not because they love immigrants, they definitely do not, but it's to keep people from breaking into the ranch looking for supplies because…

If I don’t double knot my laces, my cat goes over to my shoes and unties them. She can’t undo a double knot, but a single knot is easy pickens.

Yeah dawg!  People have always had these shitty opinions and reactions, but now instead of them pulling a drunk uncle on you during a family gathering, they have the platforms to connect with other like minded people and shout about it.

what the fuck is wrong with you

If he was a decent reliever he’d actually get paid well.  Those are just about the only players that are seeing increased salaries these days.

Not sure if you noticed by Lil’ Rhodey had apple cider vinegar!  That feels more like an ingredient than a condiment, but to each their own.

I cut my “craft beer” teeth on Red Hook, as I used to live near their east coast brewery.  Their Oatmeal Stout got my wife into beers as well.  

Smuttynose: Finest Kind IPA (it’s been around a long time, and is not hoppy by today’s standards) and Old Brown Dog.  Also Shoals Pale Ale.  Smutt Labs does a lot of cool stuff, but their standards are a very drinkable lot.

ah man you’re missing out!  Good Detroit and Chicago style pizzas are awesome!  

One of my favorite pies is crumbled sausage, olives (good briny ones, not the ones that come in the giant can pre-sliced), and cherry peppers. Red sauce and mozz, of course.

That sounds....odd.  And just because you got away with it, doesn’t mean that is how it always works.  This car was from Subaru, not MB.  And I’m sure though there are variations by state. In MA, where I live, when I leased my new MINI, I couldn’t drive it off the lot without it being registered, and in order to…

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but hot buttered rice is something I love.  I will admit that, in times of trying to save money, if I had no food in the house and I was alone, I’d eat a bowl of rice.  

If you total up the WAR for each player on the team over the year, and add 48, you do come close to pythagorean and actual win totals, at least in some cases.
