Real shitty headline. Should be, “White Sox Trade Best Assets To Win Tyler Clippard Sweepstakes”

Has the GM of a bottom 3 team ever won GM of the year before? Rick Hahn has basically walked into every trade scenario, taken his balls out, and laid them on the table. I don’t know how to react as a fan, because I’ve had more fun watching these trades play out than the actual games. In Hahn We Trust

I’m an idiot and cannot figure how to post a video.

Can the kinjasphere let me know the temperature of this take:

It probably took him that long to find a way to get back to French Guiana.

“It was great. It was very emotional for me, I’ve waited a long time for the approval to be able to play,” Malouda said, per ESPN. “It’s a great honour for me to wear the armband and represent French Guiana in this level of competition, and that’s very important for the people in my country as well, and so it’s great

This sucks for Canada. They won their game fairly but will lose two points to Honduras and as an additional kick to the nuts, will have an inferior goal differential.

Having a large stockpile of young players who may be promising, but not good enough for Chelsea allows Chelsea to have transfer revenue to offset their transfer outlay in any year. It’s a key tool in how Chelsea manages the Financial Fair Play regulations. When Chelsea signs a Matt Miazga, it isn’t because they

“...Granit Xhaka is the real deal...”

Oh come on Patrick, no one really knows how much older Freddy Adu is.

Once again, as a filthy libertarian, I have to ask, how does this fit into an alleged philosophy of smaller government, which conservatives claim to champion? This is the polar opposite, as it’s bringing government into the most private of places (not to mention they love attempting to bring government into the

Yeah! The NBA used to not be dominated by a couple teams! Continues to cite the 80s and 90s... The Lakers won 5 championships in the 80s and made it to 8! 3 rings for the Celtics and 5 appearances. Sixers and Pistons take one. On to the 90s. Same Pistons team wins 1. Bulls win 6. Rockets 2. Next the Spurs and Lakers

This is pretty fucking strong for a stream of consciousness rant.

Parity sucks. The 80s and 90s were full of great teams and then the greedy owners sold fans on the mythical “small market”. (There is no such thing as a small market team.) They got the fans to angrily hate teams that payed players what they were worth, by lying about what they could afford to spend in order to

If there were no salary cap and no max contracts, some teams would undoubtedly spend more, and then all teams would have to spend more, increasing both the potential risk and reward of building a team. 

I think that we (the regular readers) are all very frustrated by people continuing to vote against their interests or not vote at all. What is the solution though? How do we get these people to wake up and get their heads out of their asses?

It’s 3, 4 and 5. Anyone who thinks Rod Blum is going to have any trouble sleeping based on yesterday’s town hall meeting is fooling themselves. He knows full well that the vast, overwhelming majority of people at that auditorium are going to pull the lever for him in the next election, because apparently the only

RM were, as they say, streets ahead of Athleti in this match. Barely a contest. If Benzema had any sort of form it could have been 5 or 6 to nil.

3 goals, 0 celebrations with Bale.

There’s a really filthy efficiency to this
