What? How can you say that? What is even wrong with you? You take that back. I will fly to wherever you are and I will fight you, bro.

Also there are too many major league baseball teams. Please eliminate three of them. I am not a crank.

You’ve been bugging me a little bit lately. Between your reference to a string of menial jobs, and your love of the Golden Age of Indie Rock, and now this reference to Herr Hans Castorp and his crazy cronies—Are you 100% sure you’re not me? And if you are me, are you actually off having adventures and posting to Kinja…

“Good idea, just make sure they also sign a noncompete agreement first” Jimmy John’s

If the Knicks don’t work out for him either, The 1975 could totally make room for him as a second bassist or something. Such a pretty dude.

I really like how Woody was feeling his vibe.

Yeah, I mean lyrically the song is basically “Good luck in all your future endeavors. Stay awesome, you’ll always have a place in our hearts guys!” It’s pretty great.

If I were Icelandic I’d spend literally every moment of every day zonked out on Phenibut like some disgraced cosmonaut and listening to Sigur Ros. But I guess everybody has different priorities. (Also that’s how I spend every day anyway.)

Yeah and also these guys get paid money to play a kids’ game. They’re living the dream. I remember a time when Fergie Jenkins had to work as an auto mechanic during the off-season just to make ends meet. And the man is a goddamn hall of famer. Although he shouldn’t be since he only won 295 games. What’s up with that…

What? Those spoiled jocks get $36 bucks a day PLUS an education and some of them still want “salaries” on top of that? That’s it. Now I’m outraged; now I’m goddamn apoplectic.

Yay for Ezra Furman. I’m choosing to believe that when the dude ends up with eggs on his shirt it is an homage to the classic Pavement Sunny Side Up shirt.

You make a good joke later down in this thread about the book Billy Beane wrote about himself and grit and heart and hustle, and that makes me think that you and I are two hip guys who have both been SABR type bros since back when it was underground. (Although you’re wrong—Billy Bean’s computer actually wrote…

Bob Gibson disintegrates that bird, then goes after his family. Wainwright isn’t worthy to wear the same uniform. (He’s literally wearing one of Gibson’s old uniforms. Part of The Cardinal Heritage means the pitchers all wear hand-me-down uniforms from Better Days.)

Andrew Daisuke, I don’t use the word “hero” very often....aw heck you know the rest:

[insert: Let’s give *everyone* a trophy, am I right? take]

The Locust could try!

I’m pretty sure the lil guy is negging me. He’s probably pissed his mom made him leave his fedora at home.

I know you probably think it is “cool” and makes you a “rebel” to make irreverent comments like this in response to a serious question but some of us, who care about the integrity of the game, come here to learn.
