Listen--no one said it was a taut rope, ya ninny.

I’m not so sure about that. Tomorrow is gonna be a tough day, but I imagine Froome wants to finish on the podium, and Sky would love a 1, 2 or 1, 3 finish. I don’t think Froome will do quite domestique work unless absolutely necessary to protect GT. And he doesn’t need to—Sky is strong enough to do it for the both of…

Lets not forget there’s another big day in the mountains on Friday and a time trial on Saturday. Obviously, I’m not expecting Froome to be on the offensive because Thomas still has the yellow jersey, but it’s pretty believable that he ends up back in the second spot.

What if someone barged into this post and asked the 100 best questions for you to answer? Would you feel obligated to answer all of that person’s questions—seeing as they are the best—, or would you decide to skip some and answer other commenters questions?

I’m a short story writer for a local publication. I’m currently working on a story containing the blandest white man character of all time. Can you think of a more boring name for him than Todd?

Team that might surprise everyone in the MLB playoffs?

Dumoulin almost caught him near the end. They gave him a +1 to the next two riders (granted he was +2 to Thomas). My point is that I thought if anyone could match an acceleration from Thomas there, it was Dumoulin. He showed he had a little left in the tank there because he came around that corner at the back of the…

That Nibali crash was the worst part of the day. He was riding well, had thrown in an acceleration to test everyone, and looked like he felt good (he must have had to feel good in order to nearly ride himself back into it with a fractured vertebrae).

I’m late at commenting on this, but I know farm systems fairly well. These are about three of the Dodgers top 30 prospects—maybe one of whom is projected to be a star—, and a couple of organizational filler. If the Phillies were offering Adonis Medina and JoJo Romero, plus more prospects (Jhailyn Ortiz, Cole Irvin,…

I don’t understand why Isner just softly plays it back right to him?

Nah, I’ll still go for it...

Just think—they’ve got 10 more against the O’s this year!

To be fair, Kapler had arguably the worst first week of a rookie manager ever. Between pulling a cruising (now Cy-Young candidate) Nola on opening day, not having a reliever ready when he goes to make a pitching change, not starting Odubel on opening day, etc., it was a shitshow

The entire week leading up to the rescue, we heard about how difficult cave diving is and how this may not be the best idea.

I watched this live. It almost felt like he was trying to bait him to head home thinking that he could get him at the plate. And he damn near almost did.

Interested in the 5,128 gifs version of this post.

Fair enough. I should have said “net worth” rather than assets. Because his net worth is probably in the red.
