the former GOAT

I’m fully a member of the Church Of Barry, and Bonds is easily the best HITTER I’ve ever seen, but what Trout’s done his first 7 years is Truly Some Willie Mays Shit.

the greatest baseball player any of us will ever see

Oh, but they’re all so happy, all the time, and they want to tell you all about it! (As soon as they’ve gotten all six kids to bed and the wife has figured out what do with all these LuLaRoe leggings nobody wants to buy from her.)

You’re overlooking the fact that the Chinese RMB will be the only currency of value in 10 years, the U.S. $ having gone the way of the Zimbabwean dollar. $15M will have the purchasing power of like, a can of Pringles.

Are you kidding, with the hyperinflation that will follow the West Coast sliding into the sea, that will be pretty much peanuts by then.  Besides, our main currency will probably be the Yuan anyway.

You’re going to hell. Save me a seat on the bus. +1.

13 year deal? This is such a dumb plan. So, in 2032, the Phillies plan to pay $15million to a 39 year old Harper, after the west coast gets washed out to sea in 2025 and the entire country is in the rubble of nuclear fallout?
Great plan, geniuses! 

To really put the duration of this contract into perspective, when it expires, R. Kelly will try to have sex with it.

I keep forgetting the AAF exists except when I see articles here. I have to keep reminding me this isn't an NCAA or Olympics article and that AAF doesn't stand for something like Amateur Athletics Federation. 

Damn, Nurkic must be bad, if even Ben Simmons is willing to take a shot at him.

“Rays! Padres! It’s October baseball!”

Again, kudos to Baseball for devising a system that will see some of their most exciting players going to smaller, less exciting clubs rather than the big ones that figure to be on TV come October.

Hello Lonzo

This is really the right take here. Young coach didn’t adjust enough, Bellicheck of course coached a solid game, but... it wasn’t anything overly genius or anything. He took away the run and forced Goff to win the game with his arm. Goff, maybe due to youth, just totally fucking choked. It’s easy to over-analyze the…

“They didn’t believe in you! No one thought you would do it and you proved ALL the haters wrong. He’s too big. He’s too old. His time is up and he’ll never reach as high as he did earlier in his career. And yet, here you are, once again, lighting up the sky. Congrats, big man.”
-Tom Brady, every morning to the sun

I don’t understand the narrative that people doubted this team could win. I don’t think anyone doubted that. I think far more people were resigned to that fact, disgusted by the inevitability, but no one doubted it.

“It was the Super Bowl this league and this world deserves”

What you see here hinges on whether you believe that “Make America Great Again” is a dog whistle meant to unite racists, misogynists, and homophobes under one umbrella, or you’re delusional and don’t care about people who aren’t white men.
