Also, Nats are second only to the Cardinals in wins since 2011, and Rizzo’s had a hand in acquiring every player currently with the franchise except for Ryan Zimmerman.

Davey Johnson was the manager of the Nats in 2013, so he got his one more year. Remember “World Series or Bust”? That was 2013.

Jordan Spieth doesn’t see the problem.

So, there’s a theory in baseball (which is mentioned in the linked article) that a win is worth $6-$7 million dollars to a team or player, so it’s a nice guideline to use when calculating a contract offer to a player who’s shown himself to produce at X Wins Above Replacement. It’s from that number that the $450…

Can’t hold the Strasburg shutdown against him if it lead directly to Strasburg’s decision to re-sign at a possibly below-market rate.

“I believe every DiCaprio movie would be just a little better as a Matt Damon movie.”

I imagine the CIA had a similar conversation regarding C-4 in Northern VA back in late March - https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…

True statement for hockey and basketball, because the whole roster is generally available for all games in a series (barring injury or suspension, of course), and the better team should win the longer a series goes.

You phrased it better than I did, but yeah, this too.

Could’ve been that.

As I said on another thread, I grew up not far from there, and I remember as kid (70s/80s) constantly hearing about how Jerry Sandusky was a brilliant D coordinator and basically head coach in waiting at PSU if Paterno left for the NFL or retired.

Is there an online backstory to this? I mean, I’d love to know just what offended him about “Fargo”.

As someone who grew up not far from there, I like to think of it as “Four Hours from Everywhere”.

I remember when this feature used to have links in the published letters to the article that drew the author’s ire. I had to Google Burneko and U2, and found this article published in July, 2015 - http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/truly-i-say-to…

I think the refs wanted to do that, but I don’t think Tom Wilson was on the ice for the play, so there was no obvious candidate for the 2 minutes.

“Respect the unwritten rules of baseball”

I can’t believe, given his habit of regripping 20 times or more during address, that he was even chosen to be on the team.

Yeah, you can see one of the linesmen push him away from the scrum in the above clip at about 0:13 or so, but you don’t see him get all the way to the bench in that clip.

The clip above doesn’t show it, but it sure looked to me like Schenn had a lower body injury when he reached the bench after the end of game hit on Alzner; he wasn’t putting much if any weight on his right leg, if I remember correctly.

“For the allergic or just adventurous, there’s almond or cashew, neither one offering quite the same satisfaction, but decent approximations nonetheless.”

Another possibility for the allergic is something called Soynut Butter, distributed under the “I.M. Healthy” brand. We’ve found it to be a reasonable approximation,…
