Yup. I’ve seen him up close at a few Mets games. He’s MLB’s LeBron James, in the sense that he looks like he was built in a lab somewhere to be the perfect physical specimen for this sport.

That’s what I came to the comments to say. They’re on the same court! And the place is basically empty, so there’s no one between them. Just walk over there!

You brought it up, and it was my first thought after the Timberwolves got the top pick: Is this the first time a team has had the three players who were drafted #1 in three consecutive years?

I’m not even a White Sox fan and I’m jealous. I really want to see him live.

The first quote you copied from this article only supports your point if you ignore what immediately came next:

No. ESPN employs dozens of conservatives. That isn’t news.

Kluber is a joy to watch, but Sale’s delivery is just insane. I love it.

You know what? You’re right. I apologize. And I’m a Mets fan, so I have no excuse.

I’m a Mets fan too. I’m excited about Syndergaard (I’m also excited that we now have Thor, The Dark Knight, and Captain America to root for), but he’s only had two starts so far. Let’s give it a few more.

Outside of maybe Jose Fernandez, there’s no starting pitcher in baseball who is more fun to watch than Chris Sale. You can throw Matt Harvey in that conversation too, but I’d put him third.

This was the worst seven game series since that god awful Miami vs. Atlanta series in 2009. This was bad, but nothing will ever beat that.

Yeah. As much as we all like to shit on Doc Rivers the GM — and he deserves it — I don’t hold the Hawes signing against him. No one knew Hawes would forget how to play basketball this year.

I had never heard of the term “criss cross applesauce” until just now, and wouldn’t have even known what it meant had you not explained it. That’s pretty awful.

Nah, Syndergaard looked shook after that. I was watching the game. He was cruising before he hit Gomez, but that ended up being his last inning. He pretty much refused to pitch inside again after he nearly killed a guy.

I’m certain Phil didn’t even read the study. He just saw someone try to support his nonsense, and retweeted it without even considering the source or whether or not it made any sense.

I wish they’d have let it go on a little while longer, but damn, that was great.

Damn it. Now I have Chris Berman doing that god awful “Waltzing Mewelde” bit stuck in my head and I can’t get it out.

Is that Dana Stubblefield making the tackle? I forgot about Dana Stubblefield.

The “Aurora Borealis” exchange is one of the greatest comedic moments in television history. I can’t even count how many times I’ve randomly said “Aurora Borealis!”, for no fucking reason, with the same indignation Chalmers had.

The worst thing TNT ever did to Inside The NBA was give a seat to Shaq instead of Webber. When Webber is on that show, he forces Kenny and (especially) Charles to step up their game because Webber actually gives useful analysis. Shaq is only useful on TV as someone to laugh at when he falls.
