The Pirates are such a wildcard here because on the one hand they have been clearly and consistently cutting payroll to enrich that fuckstick Nutting. On the other hand they should be better this year by the simple fact Marte isn’t suspended, Polanco isn’t hurt and Gerrit Cole wasn’t very good last year. Not to…

I grudgingly admit Crosby is the best player in hockey (at least over the past 15 years)

I’ve posted this before on the GMG sites but I read The 9 Nations of North America last summer and while it was written in ‘81 much of it still holds entirely true and was incredibly intersiting. The wikipedia article gives a good sense of the breakdown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Nations_of_North_America

Yes but the richest Germans aren’t as rich as the richest Americans HAH! We win. USA USA USA

Was dismayed to see the article was not about those godawful unis. I have no idea what the cavs color scheme or primary logo is anymore.

As a 26 year old former catcher with a history of a mild injury on one knee and severe injury on the other am I fucked?

It’s unclear to me why I would ever want to trade away the 10 minutes of silent reprieve from my coworkers to dick around on my phone sitting in a stall so that I could squeeze shit out my dick like fucking toothpaste.

It is somewhat satisfying to see the Cowherds and other talking heads of the world have to pull 180's after continually lambasting the MLB for being too slow to adapt rules and lauding the NFL for continuously tinkering with them past the point of recognition.

Now maybe Manfred can be convinced that shaving 10 minutes…

A West Virginia hospital is pulling its ads from Nutting’s newspapers over the McCutchen trade. While the stunt will probably amount to nothing it’s still hilarious.

But it’s stupid to build a museum of baseball history and selectively excise the portions of that history you find morally objectionable.

Two Questions

Under Armour’s baseball stuff is complete shit. The cleats are hideous, fall apart easily and are uncomfortable. Their catchers gear is marked up knock off all-star gear. The fact is all the money is being made in being athlesiurely and you cant wear baseball cleats athlesiurely. The fact they got the MLB uniform deal…

It’s difficult to say because some state employees, for whatever reason, have continued submitting paper forms to this day.

Vince is a blowhard but he’s a decent businessman. If you run a league you don’t let your talent walk away without receiving some sort of compensation from the NFL, most likely via an affiliation like minor league baseball. The reason it works with the NCAA is 1. The employees are not paid 2. The colleges are non…

So you’re just describing a well run minor league. Checking on Vince’s history of promotion I find it unlikely he wants to be commish/czar of a well run minor league, plus NFL owners are perfectly content with the free minor league they already have.

“...he’s taking pictures of Miller Park.”

I still don’t even understand what the purpose of the Hall of Fame is supposed to be.

1. Collection of the best/most famous players/people in the game - No Shoeless Joe, Rose, Marvin Miller, Bonds, Clemens etc.
2. Museum - no mention of owner collusion I see, missing Marvin Miller again
3. Nostalgic for a couple of…

Retweets do not equal endorsements is the twitter bio equivalent of starting a sentence with “Not to be an asshole...” and thinking that qualifier absolves you of all consequences of what you say next.

MLBPA has been easily the most powerful union in the country thanks mostly to Marvin Miller who should be in the HOF. Although even they have done a good job fucking themselves under Tony Clark as Jeff Pasan points out:

Congress is a mess, the football team was ineptly run and spent most of the season talking about ways to bilk taxpayers, the basketball team is just barely good enough to let fans think they have a shot.

Sounds like another year in Washington. I look forward to the hockey team losing Game 7 at home to Pittsburgh in a…
