Emoluments, schmemoluments... 

At the :15 mark of the video Brooke Shields clearly confirms that he caught the ball. I really don’t see what all the fuss is about.

She’s always just...this damn good. Amazing player, somehow an “unsung” Huskie which is meant as a testament to how great she was as one of the best players to play for the best program ever in college hoops. Bird for three! always sounded right for her, too.

Like Arnold said, you should not drink and bake.  Or write letters.  

Pepper nearly murdered me in 1990. He was part of a group of Giants that were barnstorming high school basketball programs as a fundraiser...for them and the school. I was coaching for my old high school and was an “opponent” that night in our own gym. They absolutely thrashed us. At one point I got the brilliant idea…

Just Rub Their Noses In It On The Way Out The Door Baby

Got to listen to a couple of bucknuts gripe about this while waiting to exit Sam’s Club in Columbus this morning. Especially pithy was the guy who checks the receipts as you leave. He sports a scarlet and gray cap with THE on the front. You can only imagine his hot takes. My soul died even more than it usually does in…

That is a man who is completely comfortable with the fact that he’ll never, ever manage in the bigs again.  

The fact that he is consistently referred to throughout the report as “Coach Meyer” and not by his given name tells you all you need to know about OH...IO.

In case your (justifiable) outrage hasn’t quite maxed out over this, check out how the City of Powell PD has been stonewalling the Columbus Dispatch over this situation.

Says Beltre: hold my beer

Serves him right if he didn’t learn to stop himself after that first incident back in May.  

I think they couldn’t find the can of that magic cold spray stuff back in the dugout.  

First of all, why is there a 30 year old pitching?  I thought we fixed that a long time ago in the LLWS.  Secondly, when the batter gets HBP, you don’t throw to first base!  These kids and their lack of the basics.  

So...no gender neutral bathrooms?  I don’t speak Italian so it’s all lost in translation on me.  

I was pretty conflicted about The Athletic early on because I am very much in the “local papers are important” dwindling demographic. Hopefully they figure out a way to bundle subscriptions or something like that because now the local guys that cover the Columbus Blue Jackets for The Dispatch source The Athletic’s Aar…

My work for them is pro bono.  It makes my snark more pure.

Was raised Roman Catholic and can confirm that is a thing we do with baseballs.  So we don’t do...other stuff.  

Came here for the highlights of his dunks.  He was legit.  Quite unlike the stooge that accosted him in the restaurant.  Turd.  

That’s the direction they are running from.  It’s a futile quest, anyway.
