Not only has Bryant borrowed his Grandma's love beads but he appears to have borrowed her left boob as well.

Nobody else thinks Bryant/Harper at a Nelly concert is odd - or is Nelly Mormon too?

Dear god, what is Bryant wearing around his neck.

This was my first thought as well.

Bit of a longshot with this demographic, but what the hell... 2 weeks in New Zealand (with a couple days in Sydney) starting this weekend. Any tips or advice for the following: Waiheke Island (2 days) Queenstown (8 days) Sydney (3 days) Auckland (2 days) Way too much horsefeathering time on airplan...

He's been banged up good for 2 years. I wouldn't assume that physical's a sure thing.

Fan - horsefeathering - tastic. I've got a stack of Luis Montanez cards right here - Jeff Goldbach - you betcha'! Hee Sop Choi - of course. Davy Kelton - that sweet swinging sum-bitch - I've got more of his cards than his mothe hasr. Nic Jackson - remember this chunk?? I do because because I have 47...

Is there any other comic book artist/writer who comes even close to Lee in terms of popularity or celebrity? Nobody is even remotely close or will ever likely be again. He transcends the comic book industry. People who have never read a comic know who he is. Most people would be hard pressed to com...

In fairness it's likely these people aren't work jerks they're just people.

Worked in the back office of an investment firm. There were long desks that had 3 workstations on either side. The guy that worked next to me would eat cereal at his desk every morning and would do so without closing his mouth when he was chewing. He was so loud that people one set of workstations a...

David Cone would check the ex-player box and is both open minded and good in the booth. He’d be great in this setting.

He also likes having women watch while jerking off in the bullpen

I was unaware he was Louis CK.

It's the other way around.

Well now you see why.

Three episodes into Maniac and I still don’t have any idea where it’s going. I felt very in tune with this series which...frankly causes me some concern; although my big take away is that Emma Stone is going to turn up on my doorstep any day now. Very nice work by Jonah Hill so much so that I may h...

I have to wonder if this is fake news. I can't believe that Harper and Boras are going to make a choice without hearing all of the offers. Harper said he wants to get a record contract, so it's hard to believe he may be leaving $50 million on the table because he's friends with KB. It horsefeatheri...

That is so cool.

No jerseys or baseball caps in 1938 I guess? LOL

Honestly, this might sound crazy to some, but I'd rather have Hamels over Quintana for the next two seasons. I'd totally be down with including Quintana as a sweetner to try to get a team to take Heyward in a trade package. You're right, that does sound crazy. I'm of the opinion that Heyward's Cub ...

"Dubbed the swiss army knife..."

Who calls him that?

Thought the exact same thing...and "dubbed" suggests it is something he is routinely called.

What a dolt. Holmes for thinking he's talking about the A's President? I remember hearing an interview with him on local sports radio a while back - I don't think I missed the intro but I guess I must have - and thinking when did Beane leave the A's and how was none of this in the movie - until the...

I remember watching that over and over for at least 20 minutes - a thing of absolute beauty.

Wong does have the face plant though.

Matt Carpenter is having a more valuable season than Javier Baez, but that'd just make it even funnier to listen to the bitching if Baez wins MVP. Their WAR difference is .4 - that is pretty meaningless. while i wouldn't say half a win is meaningless, it's actually a difference of .8 I'm seeing 5.1...

I know RBIs are dumb but I still want Javy to get like 130 of them. He's really becoming Manny-esque at the plate. RBIs aren't dumb. Comparing players based on them is. I want my middle order hitters to rack up 120ish RBIs. I believe the whole "RBI's are dumb" is a mantra that's way overd...

Ruben Quevedo and Amaury Telemaco were both less than stellar. man when amaury took that no hitter into the 8th in his debut, i thought for sure he was destined for the HOF so i decided to check myself on this https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199605160.shtml i was a little off...he p...

What about Sandberg? His minor league stats were decent/ok. Did they have a top 100 prospects list back then? this one talks about how good of a prospect he was. https://www.thegoodphight.com/2012/1/19/2702301/the-ryne-sandberg-trade-as-bad-as-youve-always-heard That's a good read.

Mark Grace was a 24th round pick. I feel like the best answer is probably Piazza. Yes, but Grace was considered a highish prospect, I believe, a few years before he made the Cubs. I was thinking of someone who may have flown under the radar throughout their minor league career - which I guess is to...
