And like most things involving the Tampa Bay Rays, the only ones who’ll actually show up to watch are from New York.

OK, so it’s not just me.

Kobman says he remembers that “an old guy in the section” ended up with the ball.

Jesus Christ even teenagers looked like they were 40 years old back in the 80s.

Local sports rivalries? The NHL has some great blood feuds. Islanders-Rangers, Oilers-Flames, even the Sens-Leafs. Lesson as always, hockey is better.

4. Nancy Kerrigan. Just seven weeks after getting kneecapped by Tonya Harding’s goons, Kerrigan went out and skated her off in Norway on one knee, only to get a silver medal for it. Silver! FUCK YOU, JUDGES. I didn’t see Oksana Baiul skating out there with half her LCL missing. NANCY WAS ROBBED. I want medals for her…

I too went, albeit 16 years ago. Yes, it was a depressing experience (I paid $5 US for a bleacher ticket) but don’t forget that before the strike Montreal was a great baseball town and the Expos were 74-40 when the strike hit. Then he made it pretty damn clear the Expos were going to leave, let Jeffrey Loria gut them…

The only positive things I can say is that he brought baseball back to Milwaukee in 1970. The nonsense with the stadium financing, making the All-Star game in his home town a laughing stock, and turning a blind eye to PED when it benefitted the game then hammering those same players, are just many of the reasons I…

Selig’s whole tenure is at odds with itself. He takes credit for cracking down on PEDs starting with the testing in 2004, but of course he willfully turned a blind eye and exploited the PED-enabled HR chases of the late 90s that “saved” baseball’s popularity; popularity that had crated in the wake of the 1994 strike…

I’m a Mets fan so I know to take this with a gigantic grain of salt, but given that the front office thinks they have a chance next year, this makes sense to me. You’re getting a good reliever for less than it would probably take to get one in the offseason.

Give him a salt tablet

Little looks like every single white cop under 40.

that story has sadly been debunked; even Olerud said he wished it were true.

sadly not true. but probably indicative of Henderson’s mentality.

Update: I am an idiot who does not read well. Babe Ruth has the highest *second-career* WAR, not *second-highest* career WAR. I will leave this comment up as testament to my shame.

BREAKING NEWS: Lucas Duda tears ACL leaving the Mets

Grown men who bring gloves to games are fucking dorks or psychopaths, or both. (I.e. Jim Harbaugh)

Is this the Zach Hample origin story?

Not an accusation, a certainty. And yes, if you are a Yankee fan you are a horrible person. Another certainty. Cheering for the Yankees is like cheering for the IRS.

You can tell that the Yankees are almost back because their asshole fans start feeling entitled to every big star in the league.
