Gotta admire the confidence of someone willing to publicly admit to listening to Boomer Esiason’s radio show.

“He’s struggled with shooting, decision-making, defense, bouncing, catching, running, stopping, drinking water on the bench and putting on his jersey.”

I’m a die-hard Eagles fan and that’s freakin’ hilarious.

Yeah, but if they had run the ball we may have missed out on this hilarious interaction:

everyone here missing the most obvious take:  cb bucknor is shitty enough of an ump that he literally could’ve just thought that was an actual strike.

Hell, if the Red Sox were trying to lose, they should all be banned from baseball

That weird moment where CB Bucknor does the right thing by doing the wrong thing.

The answer to that question is always Bryce Harper.

Okay, but who gets beaned now?  Bryce Harper?

I dunno. Hating on a guy for going to a division rival feels pretty common/reasonable. Nobody in Philly cheered for DJax when he came back as a Redskin.

Washington’s fickle, fair-weather fans

Ummm because Ian Desmond isn’t a soul sucking Hecubus? 

choosing which team will employ him for virtually the entire rest of the good part of his baseball career

“Sports hate” is a thing and part of fandom; it’s totally fine to boo the guy you used to love who got a bigger check elsewhere! It just shouldn’t cross into actual hate unless you got a very Mayweather-y, Roethlisberger-y reason to do so. And definitely leave kids out of it!

This is tough because Harper was/is fun as shit to watch play, but personally insufferable. Dumb and self-righteous and also just dumb as dog shit.

His form seriously still looks like shit. It looks like a 7th grader’s jumper.

He’s active on the court, but from the very little footage of actual shooting they showed, his jumper still looks like a weird push/set shot that he starts at chest-high.  He’s pushing with his wrist rather than snapping it.

That’s...not fixing anything.

It’s not about being loyal to a stranger, it’s contrarianism as performative intellectualism.
