A friend has been talking up Superstore for a couple years and we finally started watching it a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. Unlike Great News, which I enjoy but rarely is laugh out loud funny, I feel there's like 4-5 characters in Superstore that might make me laugh out loud in any given epis...

OF COURSE it's Nightengale

30 Rock's universe was so whacked out from the get-go they could've run that show forever and it never would've gotten old because they could do literally anything they wanted and it would've been like "Yeah, that's 30 Rock for ya!" I'll die on the sword of 30 Rock being a Top 5 best sitc...

I remember thinking that 30 Rock slipped when it was on, and when I've rewatched it it just makes me realize I was even more of a dumb horsefeathers than I usually am for thinking that. 30 Rock's universe was so whacked out from the get-go they could've run that show forever and it never would've g...

At the risk of summoning the anti-anti-fun brigade, is it really that objectionable that he says "I'd prefer if people liked the sport for the sport, and not the celebrations"? He doesn't even say or imply the celebrations are bad or too much. Are the celebrations not part of the sport? Y...

He also ended last year with 28.1 IP, 24 H, 34/7 K/BB, 3 HR in his last 5 starts.

The options make this a pretty bad deal for Albies, but I don't think the 35 million bit is all that bad. Maybe a bit low, but reasonable considering the caliber of player he is and how far he is from bigger money in arbitration, never mind free agency.

I wonder what will happen the SeatGeek Stadium (Toyota Park) after the Fire move. Town is still in a ton of debt and its probably not a great concert venue. Would they just tear it down? It's a shame because it is a pretty nice stadium, just horribly located. The rumor is that the team/league would...

Not drafting pitchers is awesome. I just remember a couple of years ago saying "they probably won't keep hitting on all their rotation bets" and being told "He hit on them all the last two years, why wouldn't that last forever?"* * - not actually how the conversation went but id...

how can you not draft and develop just one major league quality starter in the last 5 years? After Kyle it’s.....nothing This is mostly because they decided not to spend high picks on pitchers. As an example, 32 SP provided 2.5+ fWAR last year. One of them was Hendricks, another was a Theo draftee(...

good news, all your Cubs gear is now soccer gear too

I wonder if Bote had conversations with Descalso that nudged him this way. Descalso didn't make an early splash in his career like Bote did, but they have similar profiles and came up at similar ages. Descalso will have made less than 15M at the end of his age 33 season, Bote just got that guarantee...

Well, sure, but that's not what this is, if I understand you correctly. It could have been, if it was about some down and out random weirdo being driven to super villain-dom in Gotham. I guess what I'm getting at is I'm not sure why there's the distinction between 'random villain origin story' and ...

I've seen a decent number of reactions that are variations of, "well, at least DC is trying something DIFFERENT!" I mean, yeah, technically...but if you're changing an iconic and massively popular/recognizable pop culture character SO much that it's essentially something else...why not ju...

It is not legal, it's just an extremely hard problem to solve and enforce.

If I can be a blind homer for a second it is absolute garbage that the league is so concerned about Edwards' delivery because all it takes to be legal is a barely perceptible bit of movement at the pause, whether it's his arms or whatever. And it's with the bases empty too.

Maddon's on-field moves have been fine to me, there's stuff that I would do different but by and large the logic is sound and I can't in good conscience think there's a big difference in Awesome Mystery Manager X than Maddon in that department. I have Maddon fatigue in listening to him talk because ...

A couple things have become apparent about that 2017-2018 offseason... 1. Previously, the Cubs had emphasized arm health in the pitchers they acquired. They certainly signed guys who’d had major arm injuries, but they’d all had a few years under their belts showing they were back to health (Lester ...

Though it is sadly hilarious that, much like the surge in dongs, this super pitching appears to be something the Cubs were somehow missing out on. (Cue some jackass with stats about how the Cubs' strikeout numbers were actually amazing last year) The Cubs were tied for 11th in the NL and 19th in ML...

4.0 to first base is basically 70-80 grade speed if accurate, I didn't know Nico's wheels were that good.
