Yes, Tartabull had 27 HR and 101 RBI in 1996 with a slash line of .254/.340/.487. But that was an era when every team had two or even three guys in LF/RF/1B/DH putting up those kinds of numbers. His wRC+ was only 108 - meaning that offensively he was 8% better than an average hitter. Since he was an average…

Still not as bad as when the Yankees traded Jay Buhner . . . and George is dead, call me back.

Counterpoint:

The phantasm

Don’t forget the Super Bowl ring that Kraft gave to Trump’s boss.

Just another reason why Tommy is the G.O.A.T. He considers his former receivers as family and takes the necessary time to grieve.

They changed it in 2014. If a player tests positive for a performance enhancing drug they are ineligible for the postseason that year, even if they are eligible to return for the regular season.

It’s actually a reference to Veep, but thanks for your feedback.

I guess Director of Communications for the NHL isn’t in the cards. Maybe the LPGA Tour is more Spicer’s style.

Don’t blame his abusing that puppy on football. That’s fucking idiotic.

But seriously, do these morons grasp the difference between the ACC and the NCAA? What about the concept of leverage, and their utter lack of it in this situation? Notions like “cause and effect” and “consequences” are clearly beyond their feeble grasps.

I’m not going to fuck with anyone that has a tattoo of SNL-era Steve Martin wearing boxing gloves.

Similarly, is throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game disrespectful to guys who toil in the minors for a shot to make it at the show?

TBH I’m legit cracking up right now. Oftentimes being misunderstood annoys me enough to get into comment battles, but this is just too hilarious to not let continue.

I’m not sure why these deadly earnest smelling-salt addicts are taking you so seriously, but at least one person got the sarcasm. (Me.)
