I think we have a lead on Lloyd Christmas....

That simply isn't true. Fielder has been a DH exactly 14 times in the past 2 years. (18 in the past 4 years) while DH does impact WAR, he didn't do it nearly enough to make that much of a difference. What actually hurts him quite a bit more is that he is in reality a very poor 1st baseman with zero range. In fact,…

That stat certainly does better than the home run totals, eyeball tests or name-recognition that most fans rely on.

Not to mention the upgrade they'll have in the field pretty much no matter who they put at third

Uhhhh, Carpenter, Kipinis, Zobrist and Utley are not exactly slouches.

Kinsler's no slouch...but he's not Fielder.

The shirt may be Pizza Hut's, but the drunken accosting of random fans in public bathrooms suggests that this guy would be perfect at Papa John's.

I know the tone is sarcastic, but at the very least both of those hits would have been doubles anyways. It wasn't exactly a Bartman or Buckner moment (taking away an out)

The 2nd guy is clearly an idiot, but I feel bad for the first guy, you are sitting twenty one feet above the field in the outfield, a line drive…

Oh no. Their portrayal of Juarez wasn't accurate. That must mean the show is terrible because I only watch tv shows that are realistic.

Frat Bro: [gives fuckin' speech]

Being a Vikings fan just means everything comes up Milhouse every week.

I feel like that theme was more present in my sabermetrics stuff.

Q: What's black and white and read all over?

Intellectually, I agree with your fundamental premise, Scott. It's clear that a lot of the blood lust against A-Rod is personal and that the general vendetta against PEDs is based on hysteria more than it is reason. But, that said, I strongly disagree with how
you get to your conclusion.

My bad.

Where do you expect LA Galaxy to finish, Greg?

Nothing can touch the time that Jack McDowell and Jack Morris pitched against each other.

A-Rod: [washes with water]

How far can you punt a football?

How far can you punt a legal question?
