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. I don't have a problem with what he said, or ...

Drop Judge, add Eddie Rosario (both $75)

No idea, but when I Googled his name along with Russell's to see what you were talking about, the top result was a Muskat article about Russell celebrating Mother's Day in '16 with Melisa that should probably just get pulled down.

22. Several really easy ones, of course, but there are some really surprising answers in there.

Any reason we shouldn't be in on Blake Swihart after the Red Sox surprisingly DFA'd him? He has to be better than Taylor Davis at least, and we can't necessarily count on Caratini being as good as he was pre-wrist injury.

I'm surprised they scheduled it for June 3. That means the Angels are playing in Seattle the Sunday before, flying to Chicago for one game, then going back to Anaheim. I thought it was going to end up being on Monday Sept. 23 (Angels in Houston the day before and Anaheim the day after, so I guess th...

I suppose I'm still naive because that thought didn't occur to me until after others brought it up.

Rise of Skywalker? But her parents were nobodies! There are theories that explain the title, in a way that doesn't mean she's related to Luke. One of the theories out there is that with the Jedi gone, that Rey starts a new group, call Skywalkers. It’s also been reported that JJ is undoing some of t...

An inside look at the night they were conceived

That being said ^ . . . Position-for-Position means if you place someone at SS (which TomtheBombadil did), then you must replace him with a SS. I didn't realize that he put Trea Turner at SS, so his swap for Marcus Semien is legit, and I can process both of his requests today. Wait, so he can swap ...

So I'm not sure how many of you will recall, but... A while back I posted that my wife and I had suffered our 3rd miscarriage and they thought we should consider genetic testing and yadda yadda... Well, we didn't. We simply tried again. Coming in 3 months (totally freaking the horsefeathers out) An...

Bench player transaction!! (In case anyone didn't see the rules, you can change a bench player twice per half of the season now but can't do both in the same 30-day period.)

Drop Lamb. Add Tatis Jr.

The "flags fly forever" crowd probably are o.k. with things, even if the window is shut. I don't subscribe to that thinking, but I know plenty who do. It's weird, I absolutely feel like I'm a 'flags fly forever' type, or at least closer to that than the other extreme (I did, after all, wa...

soccer10k wrote:Chris Davis is 0-17 with 11 Ks. He does have 4 walks so his OBP is .190. He’s got an OPS+ of -38 and a wRC+ of -49.

He’s also due $23M per year through the 2022 season.

It's nice to know we're not the only team that signs free agents who immediately go to horsefeathers.

To be pedantic, at that point his contract simply wouldn't be renewed and it wouldn't be a firing.

We should probably accept that this is the beginning of the rebuild.

Theo is here through 2021 anyway and he's good at those.

Well, he just became the first guy to win regional MOP without actually winning the regional since Curry, so you probably have a point.

After the most dominating pennant clincher in history plus being the shoulda-been-winning-pitcher in Game 7 of the World Series, yeah, he can have whatever he wants.

Jim Brown existed. As did Jerry Rice

It was at least physically possible to stop those guys. Nobody did, but it wasn't because it was physically impossible as with Gronk.

Early reviews on Shazam are out, and they are good. Consensus is it's either the best or 2nd best DCEU movie depending on how one feels about Wonder Woman (I've never seen a DC movie, but I'm a Zach Levi stan so I will probably see this at some point).

Just wait until that new TV deal kicks in, though. /s
