From 2000-2009, he had 8 seasons with 20+ HR (one year he had 19, and the other had 3 in a season where he missed 111 games). The fact that he spent 4 hours a day getting 90+ MPH fastballs thrown at his left hand and somehow was still strong enough to grip a bat let alone be a middle of the order fixture is pretty…

270 wins while pitching his entire career in the roided up AL East is enough for me. He should get in easily. But, he only had 1 20 win season, never threw a no-hitter, no WS rings, no real resume high points. Just a quietly great pitcher for 15+ years.

When I moved out of NYC, I bought an NHL.tv subscription so that I could watch the NY Rangers games in my new town. It cost about $100 for the season. The Terms and Conditions prevent them from streatming games that are broadcast nationally. Something like 30-40% of the Ranger games were broadcast “nationally”…

The voters are the ones who make this ridiculous distinction. The older guys have it in their minds that some people are Hall of Famers, but not “first-ballot” Hall of Famers. Some of them refuse to vote for people in their first year of eligibility just on principle because “no one goes in unanimous.” In 2019,…

Oh ya got any poker bad beat stories?

How long until Magary starts in with the “Commissioner of Badminton” is terrible takes?

Make sure that each individual toes the line on every aspect of liberal orthodoxy (no matter what that is on any specific day because it can and will change without notice) before agreeing to ally with anyone. It’s more important to have ALL interests aligned and to not disagree with anyone about anything because…

He’s a varsity athlete being confronted by campus police and being told he’s being escorted to the compliance office. If I was in his shoes, I’d be worried about a Title IX investigation.

I was a varsity athlete and my coach was my gym teacher and I fucking hated gym. Can’t imagine what it was like for people who weren’t at all athletic.

As soon as the Knicks are good enough to get a 3-1 lead in the playoffs, I’m sure they’ll blow it.

Bowie actually had some productive years with the Nets and Blazers. He definitely didn’t achieve No. 2 overall pick value (mostly due to injury) but I wouldn’t call him a complete bust.

This headline and article are strokes of genius.

When I was in college, a friend of mine got into a fight with his frat brother, and since they lived in the same house, my friend was charged with domestic assault and had to spend 3 days in cook county detention center before we could bail him out. More discretion is required.

We couldn’t keep Trump from getting into the White House - can we please keep Ankle Menses from getting into the HOF?

When you’re trying to make a reference to a somewhat obscure 70s/80s sitcom, my recommendation to you is to take it one day at a time.  

If Edgar doesn’t get in, it’s a fucking joke. He was one of the most feared hitters in the league. I’m also a Yankees fan and I think both Edgar and Ortiz belong in, but Edgar should’ve gotten in already.

Different kind of brash, but Bill Belichick is all those things.
