Fitzy would have been in his late teens when AOL started hitting its peak, so I can totally see him still keeping that email address account around because he didn’t want to transfer all his contacts to Juno or something.

He felt it was the best way to deal with a tool

Send the treatment to Netflix, stat!

Obviously the rest of the league doesn’t stay static but by resting on their laurels regarding their former glut of position players until too many lost their shine (hello Schwarber, Russell and Happ) and chasing big money pitchers, Theo fell into the same trap that affected him in Boston. I would have thought he…

Yeah I agree about Maddon. People here when crazy when those Baseball Prospectus ratings came out saying the Cubs would be just below .500, mostly because of their rotation. And sure enough, Lester has sucked and Hamels fell off precipitously after his injury. I think it’s reasonable to think that Kimbrel comes back…

That would be pretty awesome.

To be fair, it was a shitty lease, at least as those sorts of things go. But yeah, not a great day to be a resident of Bridgeview. At least they still have the Red Stars?

Does it even matter? The whole ban at the 2018 Winter Olympics was a farce—oh boy that gold medal hockey team from OAR sure looked familiar! How about the IOC levels an actual punishment—stop this shit or all Russian athletes are banned from the Olympics, not just from competing under their flag.

People started turning on Maddon during the World Series itself when he made a bunch of weird moves that (mostly) didn’t work. For whatever reason, he’s also getting a lot of blame for the team’s awful 1 run record, which is more on the crappy bullpen that Theo/Jed built IMO than the manager, but whatever. 

Yes, not that it helped this past season. But don’t worry, next season the Fire* will be moving back to Soldier Field, so people will care about them again!

“This young lady is selling fear, and it’s disgusting. Now, let’s take a break to acknowledge our sponsor, GoldMarket. GoldMarket--the coming collapse of the Fed is coming, buy gold and protect your assets! Next, hippes are rabid and dangerous.

He’s Michael Vick without the issues.

This score is higher than 80% of the Big 10 basketball games last season.

It’s amazing how Epstein seems to be able to build World Series-caliber rosters but unable to maintain them.

Sure, that would totally just be self-contained with no blowback on the US! Totally believable!

That’s 40 years ago. I meant now when this column is being written.

My wife has been kicked in the groin numerous times by my kids (mostly when they were toddlers). She says it still hurts.

Oh sure, we’ll just destroy the Iranian military apparatus (let’s pretend that would be easy, even though that’s a neocon wet dream not supported by facts). You don’t want to rebuild/occupy after this majestic military display or might? So...leave a power vacuum in a huge strategic country with disparate minorities tha…

Is that “girls playing little league have to wear cups” anecdote true, or was he recently watching the 43 year old movie Bad News Bears?

Agreed, but either of those two guys are better than what they have, which is important for a team that would like to think of themselves as a Cup contender.
