Anyone who expects this team to win in the mid 80s is delusional.

As late entries to this trade jump in, the Red Sox will also be sending Fenway Park to Frank McCourt, and cash to local slumlord Spiro Abrunezzi for a Poland Springs water cooler jug filled with heavily oxidized pennies, and a derelict strip mall in Holyoke, MA. Fenway to be bulldozed in favor...

Just saw this on Reddit, and found it impressive. “Between Tom Brady's 3rd Superbowl appearance and his 10th, Calvin Johnson has been drafted, retired, and made the Hall of Fame.”

Good riddance to Steve Lyons. Did he remind anyone else of Ranch Wilder from Angels in the Outfield?

A not insignificant number of people would call that cultural appropriation.

Dan Shaughnessy is what I visualize whenever I encounter a reaction-seeking message board troll. He also looks like Gene Wilder fucked Mitch McConnell, and then their unholy curly-haired offspring spent seven generations inbreeding, a decades long process which ultimately birthed the CHB. But...

Wishful thinking, or actual news?

Even if they plan on hiring Cora, and it’s essentially a done deal, how often does a team interview one candidate and then hire them? Not sure the politics in regards to MLB hiring, but I would think teams would at least want the optics of the opportunity being accessible to anyone who may be...

I’ve always hated the Devil Rays, and back in the days of Bagwell and Biggio, the Astros were my “other favorite team”. That said, fuck ‘em. I hope the Rays knock them out.

Smiley is only half as disappointing as Trey.

Frazier went early - but I was livid when they took Trey Ball over Austin Meadows.
