Great for them!

Relevant.

The alternative was the fucking Dodgers. Let’s admit it, the champ was gonna be loathsome, it was just a question of degrees of loathsomeness.

Almost as if the 2 large markets don’t matter when the other 28 teams/27 markets utterly loathe both teams.

Imagine committing the recruiting violations this team (all teams, really) certainly has to be this bad.

The only way it would have been better is if the Brewers/Braves/Rockies had done them in first.

A Deadspin tennis article that is somehow not Kyrgios-adjacent? Truly these are the end of times.

Odd. Mike usually keeps people in the dark regarding player safety.

I’ve taught at multiple high schools, and I never fail to be amazed at how consistently douchey baseball players are, regardless of the team’s quality.

I’ve also been told BBQ.

Though that doesn’t answer why the pig is a smiling, adorable thing instead of a delicious plate of ground meat for me to consume with vinegar-based sauce and enough hush puppies to cause Type 2 diabetes.

“Max Scherzer struck out 10 Marlins.”

In the week leading up to it, we’ll get at least 5 separate Tebow interviews talking about how good a guy Coach Meyer is and how Saban is the real villain.

If Reilly gets mad about it, we might have the sports writing version of the Eminem/Machine Gun Kelly feud!

My money’s on Taggart. His team started the year ranked, now he’s looking at being 1 or 2 Samford mistakes away from being 0-3. At least no one expected anything out of Morris or Frost. 

The homer was an earth-shattering Kieboom!

Hogewood was a gem, even when he was just doing local sports reporting for WFMY. I grew up in Randolph County as a Virginia Tech fan, so...ACC tournament week started out meaningless and then in 2004 became painful, but it was always fun to watch him break down games with a level of exuberance that exceeds most…

The one that interests me the most is “see if w.”

The worst part of this is that the smug morons “win” (like that means anything) either way:

It’s one of the only real problems I have with this site--why the least likable player in the world (who, incidentally hasn’t won anything of note ever) gets as much coverage as the generational talents who are still pillars of the game.

Someone’s gotta go to the games.
