I’ll put down real money that the Lions don’t earn a Super Bowl berth in 2016.

You just completely contradicted yourself. If cash is a much better motivator, why would the AL be pissed especially considering they win most years?

Counterpoint: If we get rid of the stupid-ass pitchers being forced to hit the distinction between the leagues will be even less and more like the NFC vs. AFC in the NFL.

I think it’s less interleague play and more about free agency that has players passing back and forth between leagues with much greater frequency. Until fairly recently the leagues were somewhat distinct entities where there was some real debate as to which was better and there was pride involved in settling the…

Phillies fans actually have to thank “This Time It Counts” for the 2008 World Series being a little extra awesome. Brad Lidge had a truly lights out year and really only had one bad outing: the All Star game. By losing that game in the bottom of the 15th, he earned the privilege of closing out the World Series in a…

It was an idiotic suggestion to begin with.

That thing with the cheese and Orajel guys is peak 2016. It has every component of this shitty, shitty year. Except, thankfully, no one was shot by the police, so, there’s that.

So the idiot white men in Oregon were able to have DILDOES mailed to them, nbd, but nobody can send actual supplies in?

This is America. You can do business with whomever you want. That’s why it’s called “free trade.” For them to cower behind cops like this is total bullshit.

Remember that Lowe’s was the place that dropped its advertising from the show about being Muslim in America because their Christian customers did not like.

Settle down. They’re refusing to sell them supplies, not giving them free blankets.

To compare and contrast, the average Dodger makes about $10M and if someone with that contract falls off a cliff for them, they hardly notice. Money buys you depth and the luxury of being wrong more than anything else.

Service time rules like Super Two are garbage for many reasons. As you said, they reward teams for keeping good players in the minors, but where they really piss me off is how they impact smaller market teams ten times more than larger market teams, which in turn, also impacts the players involve. Small market teams…

Service time rules are dumb because it rewards teams for keeping good players in AAA so they can rob them of money for an extra year, so they should change. International draft and even more luxury tax penalties are terrible ideas.

You mean the freedom letters from real American patriots?

Sucking up to Pakistan, promising to reverse standing Presidential US policy essentially on a whim in a telephone call, without having met with the state department first, is not a good thing. Like, that’s objectively not a good thing, not unless you trust Trump exclusively by himself more than the collective wisdom…

Thank you. Like, it would be nice to position ourselves to convince Modi to scale back the pellet assaults on civilians in Kashmir, but oh well

Even a 30 second review of the results show that in the country, most people went Clinton.

Even that, word for word, would have been less embarrassing.

Did Ohio vote red? They did? Fuck them. Let the fucking owner bleed them dry.
