    Stacy Wakefield has passed away from cancer

    Jesus. I was just thinking when I saw the thread bumped that Tim's death still hits me like it's new news. Then I opened it and...somehow the news is even worse. Condolences to the family, especially their kids. Really, really unfair.

    How Many Games Does Anthony Rendon Play In 2024?

    In honor of our dear departed, I'll take 49. The injury is a hamstring that always leaves him two weeks out from coming back, letting the few Angel fans I know out here cling to the hope that he'll come back and help the team.

    Red Sox to be 1st MLB featured on Netflix series

    My main issue: why release this during the 2025 spring training, when actual baseball is firing back up? This would be perfect mid-January content, when the offseason has felt interminable and I am craving any and all baseball. Anyway, as others have said, this isn't aimed at folks like us who...

    Movies I'd Make

    There still hasn't been a perfect (or even close to perfect) documentary about 2004. Maybe this is the year it comes out.

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    Well, if he wasn’t gonna sign with the Sox (and he wasn’t), I guess having him play two miles from my house is a decent option. Pour one out for the Angels fans who thought they had a chance of keeping him. And, yes, they were out there. “Ownership just needs to show him they’ll surround him...

    Which MLB franchise will be the next to win their first WS?

    Though not a direct fan like @Sad Sam Jones, I'd rather Cleveland win ahead of any of these expansion teams. And I'd much rather all of them wait 20 years as the Red Sox run off an unprecedented two-decade winning streak. Just kidding...I don't want the Sox to stop at 20. (I voted Mariners...

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    I gotta say: the "it's been 51 years in Texas and 62 years as a franchise" call made me happier than anything else. Wherever the team may be and whoever is on the team who I may not like, I love when long-suffering fans finally get a taste of glory. It's a little piece of 2004 in another part of...

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    I was watching in the shared house in Astoria, Queens, watching it with a buddy also from north of Boston and two housemates from Phoenix. We felt like the only four people in the entire city who were hooting and hollering. I'll never forget.

    I assume this has been discussed already, but i love that Chanel bought a bunch of ad time during the World Series and thought "you know what these fans are gonna love? A slo-mo profile walk of Timothée Chalamet."

    DDB Jr is right and I have to keep reminding myself of that. I will also leave it at that.

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    Well, my obvious rooting interest (Phillies) and my obvious rooting-against interest (Astros) are both out. I can really go either way here. My instinct is to go with the team that has never won before, which means Rangers; but my other rooting metrics (which should be discussed in another...
