What an awful, awful video. He lacks even the most basic of manners. It doesn’t even matter that she’s the Queen, it’s an elderly woman, you don’t walk in front of her and block her off like that.

New Hardcore History out!

Looks like it’s about Imperial Japan in WWII

How much longer until Javy passes KB and Rizz in popularity in Chicago? Has it already happened?

Goliath is really, really good. Love Billy Bob in pretty much everything and he kills it in this show.

Too lazy to look it up, but I think they only rely on that senator affiliation thing for certain judges that don't have specific data to run that assessment. So for Kennedy or the othe Supreme Court justices, their rating is actually based on their rulings, not their home state senator or whatever....

Did you happen to read how that metric is calculated? The decisive calculation for that metric is not based on a judge’s rulings or even their own personal ideology but on the political ideology of that judge’s home state senators. That’s perhaps the most inane metric I’ve ever seen 538 use. It’s b...

We live in some alternate dimension or something. I still refuse to believe that this mothereffer is actually the President of the United States. My brain still refuses to process it as reality.

His slide against Toronto was the best “deal with it” slide of all time.

quickly glancing at baseball reference for 1955: musial - 6.1 bWAR mays = 9.1 bWAR aaron - 6.3 BWAR or 1957: musial - 6.1 bWAR mays - 8.3 bWAR aaron - 8.0 bWAR as of today: trout - 6.9 bWAR betts - 5.4 bWAR judge - 5.0 bWAR https://i.imgur.com/RG0BS1U.gif pretty sure the 55 and 57 are full season l...

I'm kinda shocked this is the first all star game for Markakis. He had some great years for the Orioles. His stats have always been pretty workmanlike; nothing fancy enough to be noticed by All-Star voters. Those late 2000's Orioles teams didn't have too much though, so there might be some slight s...

Slow down there. Many of the All-Star games in the 50’s had an NL outfield of Mays, Aaron, and Musial. I don't care enough to dig into it, but I imagine the seasons Trout, Betts, and Judge are having would be tough to match, even for those 3. quickly glancing at baseball reference for 1955: musial ...

It is amazing to me that he is getting a ton of grief on this when Bryce Harper is on the team. Do people even look at at statistics? Is he? He’s 0.2 WAR behind Albies with 76 less plate appearances. And he can play SS and 3B. Hardly an outrageous decision by the fans. Tied after today in fWAR. And...

Just another reminder that Kyle currently has a 6.7 UZR, which is the sixth highest in the MLB for an OF

It seems to be a daily occurrence that I pause, take a moment, and thank the baseball gods that we didn't trade Javy a few years ago.

Stewart's wrist injury complicated things with him. The Braves offered at least 40% of slot, but they definitely were undercutting him. Still, not sure how you pass it up. 40% under slot still would have been like 2 million or something like that. Crazy. I’ve heard that with Hoglund a big factor wi...

Holy Hell at Carter Stewart likely passing up over 4 million to sign with Mississippi State...and JT Ginn too. Nice haul for Mississippi State to get two first rounders. I'm optimistic about Hoglund passing on the Pirates and showing up at Ole Miss. Guess I'll know shortly. Hoglund's senior stats a...
