Booger McFarlane took Cousins’ first nickname choice. 

Maybe he loves the nightlife?

It’s like that John Mayer song says, “your body is a Boogieland”.

Because I have kids who ruin everything, allow me to share this with you:

Someone dropped a Smoot in my Hawley?  *Adjusts monocle*

I agree completely. I think if they lowered their range to 5 years, you’d see some healthy competition for their services. It also gives both of them another shot at a big FA contract (especially if they only go 4 years).

This makes a lot of sense to me. The would become free agents again when they are 30, which is probably a better age to sign another contract than 33.

Now we’re all wondering if he’s going to make that much more than Chris Davis.

The Manny Machado Sweepstakes*

one possibility here is that the White Sox (and other teams) are willing to raise their offers, but not until right before spring training starts. ...It’s what happened with JD Martinez last year, and it resulted in the Red Sox getting him for a bargain-basement five years and $110 million.

One thing I don’t understand, and is really bothering me, is: who leaked the White Sox’s offer? ...I feel like I’m missing something obvious here.

Kenny Atkinson HAS to be in the lead for coach of the year. How he has this depleted roster (that wasn’t expected to do anything even *if* completely healthy) at .500 right now is just amazing.

This does not help with the real reason no-one goes to Rays games, which is that Tropicana Field is the ugliest godforsaken excuse for a place to play baseball in the majors. It has the aesthetic charisma of an abandoned convention hall at a third-tier airport. I actively avoid watching games played there, even on tv,…

I look forward to the day when there’s only one seat but a ticket costs one million dollars, like the last Wu Tang Clan album.

You made $$$ if you sold ur tickets this season...

I love Dan Le Batard as much as the next guy, but their public affection for David Samson is one of the most baffling things I’ve ever been witness too. This is a shit look for a broadcast personality who claims his love for Miami religiously and also claims how much the city of Miami has been screwed by front office…

So Let Batard hangs out with this contemptible p.o.s.?

It is technically named the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Maybe they should do a better job on that last part.

I’ve said this a lot this week but the museum can tell the story of the game without inducting everyone relevant to it into the honoured members wing.

The best part is that they ran the play action with a 6'5" 325 lb lineman at running back. And it fucking worked.
