read that list and then let this sink in: the Bills played the Browns and Derek Anderson completed two passes and had a 2.0 QBR. The Browns won that game.

Well, what else are you gonna do when you’re mayor of Cleveland?

Whoever this Gretsky guy is, he sounds pretty impressive. But as impressive as he was, he’s still no match for Wayne Gretzky and his points record in NHL hockey.

“Fuck you. You’re Philly.”

As though I didn’t know perfectly well that this was the quiet car. (I didn’t, as it happens, but now I am on the defensive.)

The Aristocrats?

The Mets were still 2-hit last night by a dude who got lit up a bunch during the regular season. Let’s not forget they were no-hit not once, but twice during the regular season. Without a Murphy dong they’re completely impotent at the plate.

Now I’m imagining a metric like “W/9” because Pedro would definitely be above 1.0 back then.

The issue is that Gretzky’s point record suffers from the test’s “purity” component and also that, while insane, only obliterates Mark Messier by 51% or so, whereas the Bonds record is 134% more than the next closest competitor (Hank Aaron), among the other factors they consider.

Yeah, but like Barry said, they took into account the era. By rough estimate Pedro Martinez would have won 9898798 games pitching when Cy played.

Wade Boggs' liver might disagree.

I could not believe how long he left de Grom in last night. Should have brought in the lefty to face Hosmer, after Cain lined out.

According to the announcers, Yost has only called for four bunts all year, Esky was probably Yost-ing it up on his own.

It really was a beautiful night, though. Royals Santa stuck around and blue all the kids.

Love to see a location grid of every ball the Royals got hits on. From the TV view, it looked like DeGrom was in the middle of the plate all night

You made me crack a smile at “jovial gangster”! Indeed, that is an apt description of some of the more colourful characters of the third reich. Otto Skorzeny and uncle Göring are two others who might carry that title.

I know, but I was being magnanimous

Cmon, you know it is.

Only Cards fans have tickets to a potential game 5?Weird.
