So I have had lots of friends report receiving their second stimulus checks. I have not yet, and so I checked the irs website to see if there was any way to look up the status of the check. There is, and I found out it was sent to me on January 4. Problem is, it was sent to a bank account that I clo...

It probably shouldn't be, but the number of people who think that the 1st Ammendment means you can say whatever you want without consequences is astounding.

Yeah, I’m not getting the love for Fields as a top draft pick. Sure, he had a great game against a defense whose best win was against UMiami. Just not seeing how he’s elite. I don't see how he's not elite. If you think Cam Newton was worthy of a #1 pick (MVP season says he was before injuries), the...

You know when we saw rumors that SD was shopping for a catcher with Darvish I assumed that meant Contreras and the Cubs were gonna pick their pockets for elite talent. Instead they got Caratini and from there I thought "Oh wow, the Cubs are going to commit to Contreras behind the plate" B...

Yep. Get the best value possible for him and Keith, tank like crazy this year playing every young fringe guy we have and see who sticks.

Might as well. If they're not trying to win, trade everyone with real value that won't help you when you plan to compete next.

Don't trade Bryant or Baez yet, because they need to rebuild value. And maybe don't trade Hendricks, because I'm pretty sure he can do what he's doing until he's 40.

https://twitter.com/fangraphs/status/1343943698170699776?s=19 The trade looks MUCH better in this light. Eric has Preciado as a Top 100 guy, better than Ed Howard. Yeisson Santana is a 45 FB guy, meaning he'd be in the top 10 in a typical system. Ismael Mena is on the 40/45 line, depending on how r...

You know, the BCS sucked, but at least it was objective. I know that Bama, Clemson and OSU are almost certainly the 3 best teams followed by a bunch of flawed but similar teams,, but it honestly doesn't feel like a non-P5 team even has a legit chance.

saw someone (just a random guy I follow) on twitter speculate that the Big Ten will cancel all games next week that aren't the title game. Honestly, it seems like the best course of action. The crappy teams (Illinois, Nebraska, Rutgers, etc.) don't need another game. The mid-tier teams are who they ...

Post from a friend of mine... "COVID Vaccine – In September I got the Moderna Covid vaccine. In the last couple days I have seen a lot of conversations about the vaccine and whether people will get it or not, so I thought I would share my experience. Some are excited for the vaccine, others hav...

What made Mitch so attractive to Pace in the first place? We've seen the pro game is too fast and complicated for him, not to mention he just plain horsefeathering sucks, surely there must have been hints at possible troubles in film studies. he drove a used toyota camry. pace liked his modesty I w...

Unless Ball or Wiseman is there at 4, I think I'd like them to trade back with the Knicks and get 8, 23, and maybe something like a future pick swap? Just don't think Advija, Toppin, Williams, etc. is far enough ahead of the rest of the pack that you couldn't get someone comparable at 8 (maybe even ...

But Biden was leading Texas and Ohio before Trump pulled ahead. Isn't that strange too??? This guy is incredible, how he can completely compartmentalize each state with it's own set of rules that benefits him. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Sadly his supporters will believe this nonsense Hones...

Who wants to take bets that they have a worse winning % next year? I definitely can see it. Keuchel, Grandal and Abreu are all a year older, still a ton of young and unproven/unknown pitching (which can go a lot of ways but has kinda busted so far). Then a guy like Anderson probably regresses since...

This is gonna be bad, idk if there’s a season until they figure out a new CBA. The players won’t just keep going along with this. https://twitter.com/markasaxon/status/1321565765431107591?s=20 Hope STL makes more moves like this so they can lock up Yadi and Wainright. Always in favor of our rivals ...

I have not had the time of my life.

Pretty sure even struggling hitters don't want all grip enhancing substances banned. Too many balls flying arlund at 95+. They want pitchers knowing where they're going.

Just read this blurb from Yahoo fantasy: The 26-year-old continues to swing a hot stick after his dreadful July, and that homer -- his fourth of the season -- now has him slashing .299/.342/.523 in 107 at-bats. Don't forget that Candelario was once among the top infield prospects in baseball. He's ...

For what it's worth, his son Alan is on Twitter saying his mom is lying about the allegations.

Voted for universal DH amd expanded rosters. I'm indifferent on 3 batter minimum. Could be persuaded on 7 inning doubleheaders. Hate the runner on 2nd in extras

Remember how the White Sox traded Tatis Jr for James Shields? They give Cubs fans crap for trading Eloy to them for Q, but at least Q was pretty good in 17 and has been at least ok ever since (even if not living up to expectations). They gave up a guy who looks like an absolute superstar in the maki...

The players were never going to accept a bubble scenario by the sounds of it when that was talked about for a few days. Plus the two ST sites aren’t exactly able to play a ton of baseball in summer due to weather (extreme AZ heat and Florida rain). Not that they couldn’t have maybe figured out bubb...

I know very little in terms of the science of all this. Was reading this thread earlier and what it seems to conclude is that kids are responsible for very little spread according to multiple large-scale tests in other countries (Iceland and Netherlands studies quoted iirc). https://twitter.com/Naha...

I feel like they need to trade down from 50 now, because they need a DB and an OL. Kmet may be a pretty good player, but you just gave Jimmy Graham a bunch of money and you have literally 9 TEs on the roster already.

I've got about a dozen guys I'd be pumped about the Bears picking at 43/50, and that doesn't include any DL/Edge guys. Would like to see a DB with the first pick, then maybe a trade down with the second to try and pick up a couple extra mid round picks
