The thing is, it’s really impossible to erase that power dynamic from the relationship. If I, your boss, ask you to unload the dishwasher in my capacity as your significant other, it’s just not feasible for you to somehow not know that I’m your boss before you decide to point out that you’ve unloaded the dishwasher…

You are very dumb and have no idea what "off the record" means.

I know what they are trying to accomplish by claiming the whole front office is responsible (if everyone’s at fault no one’s at fault), and I don’t even doubt that it is true, but I don’t know if they realize what a brutal fucking indictment it is of the entire organization. The culture in the front office is such…

That update is just magical in how incompetent it is. "I CAN'T APOLOGIZE TO THIS PERSON THAT IS IN THE ROOM WITH ME, NO TIME!"

The delicious irony is now that Taubman is himself, in baseball terms, an undervalued asset, no other team will hire him because they’re supposedly bad at analytics (which apparently just means being willing to overlook the fact that he’s a complete asshole).

LOL too late, fuckers. The baseball gods are displeased and I hope you’re unceremoniously dispatched by the Nats ASAP. 

I’m sorry but the Astros said that this is misleading and you are just trying to fabricate a story. They are actually up 2 games to none. THEY HAVE WIVES AND DAUGHTERS AND ARE PROGRESSIVE.

I hope the ‘Stros get swept and Taubman gets fired and has to go to work managing Curt Schilling’s next failed venture.

The Taubman Curse is a beautiful thing to watch.

And suddenly Brett Kavanaugh is conflicted over who to root for. 

Astros seem to employ the Trump administration PR defense system when they get in the media crosshairs for their mistakes. Shielding Verlander from that Detroit reporter. Now this denial in the face of multiple witnesses. I was going to be pulling for the Nats because I adore Scherzer and I want to see him win a WS…

They need to cut back on their use of technology to get every call absolutely right, because it's just going to escalate with more and more advanced cameras. Make it so replay review can only show plays at full speed -- if repeated looks at game speed can't overturn a call, the call is probably good enough to uphold

The game needs to be simplified somehow. No, I don;t know how, but all of this is just a small part of the larger problem. It isn’t missed calls or uneven application of standards that may change. There are just too many penalties and every play can be litigated to death.

You have to think so, yeah. The DPRK isn’t actually that terrible at soccer, but they’re certainly not as good as South Korea, and even getting a draw is impressive. Presumably they figured the odds of losing were fairly high and they kind of have a long-running thing about going to great lengths to hide from their…

North Korea is so fucking weird man. Alot of the stuff you can chalk up to it being an oppressive regime.. but this is just straight up super weird. Is it because they were afraid they might lose to South Korea? So they didnt want their own people to see, so they didnt look weak in the eyes of the people? Just dont…

I think the biggest thing really was the Titans taking a QB that didnt fit in their boring ass system and basically forcing him to unlearn all the things that made him such an Amazing college QB. If he had been drafted like 3 years later with the way NFL offenses are now, woulda been a whole new story ,

I jumped on to add - none of those playbooks with the POSSIBLE exception of his rookie year have played to what his strengths as QB actually are: mobile quick-read shot taker who can run the RPO wrinkles due to superior athleticism. I would honestly love to see him take over the Seahaws or Panthers for like 1 game and…

It somewhat sucks as Mariota is supposedly one of the coolest dudes in the NFL and the kind of a guy you just wish success for. Maybe that was the problem and he wasn’t crazy enough to be a great QB.

The Chinese government is not naive. It requires silence on Chinese political choices from its business partners as though they were Chinese citizens, and the NBA has offered just that.

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…
