As much as I don’t like the DH in theory, I’ve argued and argued all season that it would benefit the Cubs like crazy and people kept telling me that I was wrong/that didn’t make any sense. Haven’t heard anything from them recently.

I suppose the Orioles, Red Sox and White Sox, who all pounded the crap out of him in August/September, also had sign stealers when he pitched against them.

We can only hope Jim Ross is a guest in the announcing booth when this happens.

It should be noted that Daniel Murphy is what the scouts call a five-point star.

The Mets are cheap, but that’s not what this is about.

I’m just saying, I’m just saying, “Daniel” is really, really close to being the same name as “Damien.”

Not only has he homered four games in a row and five times in all this postseason, but it’s who he’s homered off of: Clayton Kershaw (twice), Zack Greinke, Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta. All of which means some idiot team is going to throw a truckload of money and inevitably be stuck with overpaying him for years to come.…

I think it adds to the crazy that they intentionally walked Daniel Murphy with Cespedes coming up next.

The Mets are too cheap to even give him a 6 year/$66 million contract.

There is a little more to it than that, although I do agree with you. The beauty of that play was 31 other coaches would have a burned a timeout after the shift. But BB has his team prepared for situations like this, so they immediately knew how and where to reallign. The Colts were probably expecting a timeout to be…

I was reading a piece, over on BR I think, that said essentially the same thing. That the real secret weapon of BB’s Patriots teams is that just by existing on the other sideline he drives other coaches crazy trying to outthink him.

This is the best one I’ve seen this morning.

I loved listening to Collinsworth talk about how stupid the whole thing was. It was like he was personally offended that something so idiotic could ever have happened.

I am among the biggest #CheatriotsHaterz there are, but I have to acknowledge that half of Belichick’s “genius” is in simply standing still while 90 percent of the league does utterly stupid shit all around him

I bet that “2015 SNF Runner-up” banner looks great.

There is something uniquely wonderful about a failed swinging gate.

I did a spit take when I heard this. Thanks for calling bullshit. Hearing a rich guy who announces football games for a living complain about taxes makes me dust off my guillotine.

Close exposure to Al Michaels made Dennis Miller about 300% more insufferable.
