Albert Pujols was once as beloved as almost any player ever by his hometown fans, well on his way to being the defining player of his generation. Now he’s almost forgotten, washed up, and being forced to watch himself get surpassed by an even better player on a nightly basis, on a (still) shitty team.

With all these tennis posts, you should have done better in the ballboy competition.

Not all Clinton supporters are blood-thirsty warmongers, but all of them decided that blood-thirsty warmongering isn’t a deal-breaker. End of story.

Kournikova was an absolute amazing tennis player whose singles career was derailed by injuries that worsened her ability to live up to hype as a singles player. If she hadn’t been injured at Eastbourne in 1998 she likely would have won there and been a legit contender at Wimbledon (she was 17). She was also the world…

Roger Federer Turns 36, Is Wished Well By People He Has Owned

The end of that fight was tough to watch. I thought it could have been called sooner.

Shayna Baszler is one of the few remaining individuals on Planet Earth who can claim a legitimate Pro Wrestling pedigree, having trained directly under the legendary catch wrestler Billy Robinson.

Here come the O’s with just enough good play to make sure they are not going to make any real change to the roster for the long haul. Then back to being shitty after the trade deadline. Book it.

Jesse Reasoner is actually a teammate of The Progressive Liberal, fighting foes like Roger Ignorance and Peter Cognitivebiases with rational thinking and solid logic. He is currently winless.

I randomly dream that I have to do senior year of high school over. It sucks!!! It’s usually at one terrible school I left in junior year, too. I hate it.

Honest to god, all of my friends in my PhD program and I have all had that same dream. A few months ago we were talking about how all of us regularly dream that we forget to attend a class for the whole semester. Now that I’m out of coursework and I’m just teaching, the dream has shifted to being one where I forget to…

College? Try middle school (and I’m 35). Usually, my dream problem is that I don’t know what rooms my classes are in, or don’t know my class schedule at all, and don’t have the right books to bring with me. I wouldn’t even know if there was a test. Your failure dream is a relative success!
