-They are a great team in the NL Central who are not:

I’m a Bucco fan and my buddy is a Cards fan—in Dec. he posted something about “big things” for the Cards this year and last night he posted that this was a “rebuilding year”.

“The Cubs are not in our heads!” said Mike Matheny to the befuddled waitress about to ask him how he wanted his eggs to be prepared. “And Joe Maddon’s glasses make him look like some sort of dork!”

The 0-3 Cardinals have struck out a combined 37 times in their three losses.

It’s a better idea to list real pros and cons of both candidates then the bs you posted. But then, you aren’t looking for dialog, just pushing opinion.

Guarantee 45% of this was written 3 years ago in anticipation of the leadership book deal he’d be given after the 76ers began to turn it around. This is a victory letter that has been lazily retrofitted into a concession. He has done nothing and he’s acting as if he’s giving a TED talk. He’s the ultimate asshole and…

I wrote that same letter in college. But she remained a “once-” girlfriend. There was no “and-future.”

Objection: leading the witness.

Point of information: Hinkie himself is a big fan of repeating things he heard someone say.

Agree 100% (and can also relate from a takes-one-to-know-one perspective): Hinkie is likely confusing his own metacognitive catharsis with his desire to be understood by others who are living their own damn lives. As you suggest, it’s a rough document to read if you have ever self-marginalized and lost.

Counterpoint: Hinke always thinks he is the smartest person in the room and makes sure everyone knows it.

Just finishing skimming this. Oof. On the one hand, his reliance on reference and quotation and business-speaky just-so stories is a tic I’m primed to find obnoxious. I also think you can plausibly figure he wrote it under the assumption (or intention) that it would be made public, and therefore did so with the intent…

As my granddaddy used to say, “Even a blind squirrel can fix a broken clock twice a day.”

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a technobabbling drone produced half a dozen pages of Gladwellian quotes of someone else’s bullshit without any real point or purpose before getting to something that vaguely resembles substance. But the kicker here is basically that there was never actually any plan besides…

The Best Fans in Baseball are not discouraged. The Best Fans in Baseball know that sometimes the night is darkest just before the dawn. The Best Fans in Baseball don't have to read your snarky posts trying to talk trash to the Best Fans in Baseball. The Best Fans in Baseball aren't crying right now—they have something…

WHOA MAN YOU GOT ME THERE

I’m a GenXer and my eyes were permanently ruined by all the eye rolling I did in the ‘90s at the shit the Boomers wrote about us. Some things never change.

Thought Catalog is the worst thing written *by* millennials. This is the worst thing written ABOUT millennials.
