Yes, I forgot to include all the game scores before relief pitchers were invented. On purpose.

Of course. It's not like Hanley's trash. He just frets over his injury-prone rep and wants to play when he's injured to make up for it. Mattingly should absolutely be the guy to tell him no, you'll help the team more by being healthy, and he won't be that guy, and that's why he should not have his job. But it's not

Mattingly is a bad manager, that's why. I don't think Kershaw cares about the distinction. he did all the job he could do.

He also walked four guys.

Bill James game score of 102. Cain's perfect game in 2012 was 101. Kerry Wood's 20K one-hitter was a 105. Unless I'm missing something, Clayton Kershaw just pitched the second greatest game in history.

If you put your indignation aside for a minute and click through to the link provided in the article, it indeed shows you the entire world. Or, you could just continue to be a dick. Your call.

"Shit happens, but I look pretty good on TV, right?"

Please, go on...

I don't love the Spurs all that much (too many "right way to play the game" StL Cards-type vibes for my taste), but I really enjoyed watching them systematically dismantle the Heat. An almost unseemly amount is how much I enjoyed it. I will probably go back and freeze-frame hundreds or possibly even thousands of

This looks like a still from the Zapruder film.

LeBron was saving it for next year's Quadpeat.

When they were up 22-6, commenters on the Heat's SBNation board were asking each other what time Game 6 in Miami was starting. No lie.

Why, because the Rangers couldn't kill a penalty? Penalties happen. Not all calls are 100% correct in retrospect and the Kings had several of those go against them during the series, too.

Media and a noisy subset of shitty fans are one thing, but give the team some respect. I felt more genuine fear of getting one past Lundqvist than I did any other goalie they saw in the playoffs. In retrospect I never worried much about the Kings coming from behind to beat everybody else; it just seemed like something

Well, I'm a Kings fan and have been a Kings fan since the late 70s and the Rangers absolutely earned my respect. The Kings probably feel like Apollo Creed at the end of Rocky right now. Ain't gonna be no rematch. Don't want one.

I sort of feel like last night's game was explanation enough.

I grew up on Dionne, Taylor and Simmer. Rogie Vachon, All those great players who never got past the first round until the Kings mercifully traded them out somewhere else. Robitaille and Blake and Jim Fox and Bernie Nicholls. Ziggy Palffy! Jesus, what a waste. Even the Gretzky years were a big fat waste. I can barely

That OT was pretty intense. I think I need a sit-down.

I thought they would be up 2-1 right now, so they're exceeding my expectations. I guess it all depends on your perspective.
