One of my favorite baseball quotes, twins former manager Ron Gardenhire being asked how good of shape Jose Mijares showed up to spring training in: “He came back in a shape”

What makes you think Mike Mularkey won’t be replaced by Jeff Fisher in a few years? Fisher is playing the long con here.

In that banner pic, Jeff Fisher looks like the guy that gets his shit-kicked in by mobsters because he owes them interest on the loan they gave him for his “Cash 4 Gold” business.

Every draft pick is sacred.

If there’s any solace for the Rams, it’s that the Titans are the team making the picks they traded so it will undoubtedly not look so bad in retrospect

It’s like the destitute Catholic factory worker in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life trying the national lottery just once before selling the kids off for medical experiments.

Boston Red Sox General Manager Mike Hazen sat alone in his office. “There’s nothing else to be done. We’ll have to put Pablo on the DL.” And having finally said it aloud, he felt as though a great weight had been lifted from the active roster.

“the possibility of Pablo Sandoval getting in shape”

Pear is a shape.

I have changed my diet too! First thing I learned was you “can’t outrun your fork.” I haven’t done drastic changes like keto or paleo, but I’ve cut out soda, replaced sugary snacks with healthier alternatives (low fat string cheese, more fruit, hardboiled eggs) and increased veggies (I could probably do better here).…

Quick answer from someone who lost over 120 lbs: any movement is beneficial, body weight or with free weight. Body weight is a great way to prepare your joints for more intensive workouts (for instance, push ups are a great way to get your shoulders ready for say, the bench press or other externally loaded push…
