honestly worried karius will be a danger to himself tonight

what did i just see

shoutout to sergio ramos goonery for depriving us of 90 minutes of salah in the final, hopefully he’s okay for the world cup

Everybody knows that Hollywood executives have been sexually harassing, intimidating, and raping women for decades. What this defense of my client presupposes is, he is one of them?

In many cases the player can update them yearly or with some regularity.

What’s with these dumb belt pads that some NCAA teams are wearing?

From watching part of a Mizzou game last week, they appear to have index cards with signs on them.

I had the benefit of another tweet explaining it, but what makes it so much worse is that there are 2 outs and there is no force at home.

oh noooooo

I have a theory that writers inflate trade costs because they don't want to deal with angry responses from fans of the trading team and they don't want to hear breathless hypotheticals from people who think trading 3 average players for Mike Trout adds up. Also, the more blockbustery the trade the b...

Yeah Marlon, we all kinda figured when you posted 4 of the 5 best ISOs of your career starting at age 36.

not grass, ped beef

I don’t know that I’ve ever had such a visceral “please stop talking will you please just shut up and stop talking” reaction while reading before.

Getting real close to just not wanting Machado as a rule.

holy smokes that person on the right is real and not a mannequin

I legit had to look at it 5 times to realize this

His analysis was pretty flawed. Sharma is comparing the variability for a single team to that of 10 teams combined. Of course that distribution will look more smooth. There really isn't any reason to expect that dip at around 4-5 runs to continue. It will normalize just like it did last year (as yo...

Part of the narrative with the flood of Machado articles yesterday is the Cubs offense is too boom or bust. Which, I don't know if there's any information or metrics out there that are readily available that measures it but if I had to guess the Cubs offense is no more boom or busty than any other ...

Last 4 starts: 22 IP, 16 H, 7 ER, 24/6 K/BB, 4 HR

Snuff out some of those HR and he'll be in great shape.

Ty Adams is upgrading Red Bulls. https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2018/5/20/17373288/rb-leipzig-transfer-rumors-news-tyler-adams-usmnt I bet he'll stick with Leipzig. There's no reason he wouldn't get playing time with Europa League and the DFB Pokal. He could break into that lineup. Hopefully the...

Leaving aside all else and focusing on just timeline/talent/ability to win ... Elite offensive prospects tend to perform. I forget what the study was, and you would probably know better than I do off the top as I haven't followed as much baseball the past year and half. The super-elite offensive ta...

Heck, if I'm being fair ... I'm not so sure the Cubs future is necessarily better than the Nationals. I really love Soto, and a core of Soto/Robles/Turner/Rendon plus Scherzer/Strasburg in the short term, and an ownership that you know will spend ... is very, very tantalizing. Sure, KB/Rizzo/Contre...

Maybe the most amazing line score I've ever seen

New Girl has some funny and clever writing, although I don't find it as rewatchable as many other shows. That might be because my wife constantly puts it on for background noise though. Having just rewatched that episode, I can say that Coach calling Nick a 'depression-era garbage man' will never ce...

It seems like the All-Star Break is a good starting point for DeJong's return.



Carpenter/Gyorko/Wong/Martinez would have to be the worst defensive infield in baseball.

My main takeaway from that video is that the Galaxy affectionately call their USL team Los Dos, and that angers me deeply for reasons I don't entirely understand.
