I loved the crazy Toronto energy. there’s something less threatening about canadians throwing beer on the field. and missing the field. and then splashing someone’s baby. it fits the narrative. and the jays going bezonkers in front of the dugout after Bautista’s shot was hilarious and fun. 39 ejections, though. wow,…

any pro who pays enough attention to the fan reaction to get rattled by last night wouldn’t survive in the pros. they are constantly heckled, jeered, etc for 6 months, 162 games, warm ups, postgame. it’s natural selection - if that gets to you, you don’t make it.

Also maybe because he got the out at 2b so it’s a fielders choice.

The IF rule is to prevent dropping a ball intentionally so you can get an easy two. Since they barely got one when he dropped it, that’s a good indication it was a good no call. Baseball is hard!

Go Bautista, love seeing these guys play like big kids. (Giants fan here!) That is the role model we need, passionate and fun-loving. Dyson said it really well, it looked like a backyard whiffle ball game. Which is super fun.

The fact there are employees of the nfl who are dedicated to monitoring this at this level is a sign of a lack of prioritization for me. I’m ok with compartmentalizing when it comes to athletes and artists, they aren’t role models, they’re gifted physically and have developed their talents. It’s why I don’t read or…

I hope you get a ticket for every rolling stop ever at a stop sign. And I hope each time you exceed the posted limit by one mph you get a speeding ticket. Each time you are walking in a crosswalk when the light is red, or your foot touches a bike lane, I hope a cop pops up and tickets you. Rules in all walks of life…

Utley would have been safe on that play. Staying on the bag is for pussies.

I think stuff is the speed and movement, not craftiness. Crafty or junk connotes lack of stuff to me, but ability to get hitters offbalance. Nasty stuff means the stuff is a level beyond. Definitely need two weapons to qualify as stuff. I love this post.

Fewer stupid rules and fewer pads. And fewer wife and child beaters too. Then I’ll watch you, nfl! (And suggest you tackle my list in reverse order just to be super clear.)

I love hearing your thought process as a former ref. thanks for that. but disagree this should be/ was a situational or “advantage” play like in soccer. NFL is the most rigid, regimented militaristic -precision organized sport for a reason. It’s the control freak’s sport! Letting someone needlessly violate a rule…

Still not as bad as yanking zimmerman after he retired 20 in a row then walked Joe Panik in the NLDS game 2 with 2 outs in the 9th. Pulling Zimmerman at 100 seems like a compulsion to Williams, something is going on. He needs to hang with Tom Seaver, who has been vocal about the need to let pitchers understand their…

How about getting rid of all cheap trinkets for entering a race or showing up at an event, for kids and adults? Not because if matters that much, just because.

Tried before i posted but first one appeared to be audio only, so my question.

Thanks for that.

How did the pass to the injured team turn into a goal. Doesn’t that matter? I mean the team being done a favor should take some responsibility if their goalie just blew it. If it was rifled past him then I get it, but if it was just blown I think this is excessively sportsmanlike if that makes sense, like runners…

I dont follow the new stats closely. A question...does what they would be had the PRT played out all year really matter? Or is it more about just what the PRT projects they would do going forward (.610 winning percentage) plus whatever the new players add.

Curious really how someone who gets this mad at someone else spending copious time on charitable causes gets through a day in a world like ours that is being pillaged by selfish and violent bastards. Tell me, how?

Takes me right back to when NWA had that cold Kirk Gibson fist pump cover and stuck it to.... Wait.... what?!?

Ahhhh, oui. Cognac. 1738. Tres jolie. <sigh>
