As a fan of UConn Men's basketball, I share in your frustration.

So South Alabama is beating the snot out of host #15 Florida in their home ballpark in Gainesville. 19-1. Currently undergoing a weather delay. Next up, Miami v my alma mater, South Florida. After such a great start to the season last year before everything got shut down, the Gators really shit the...

Yeah, Eric Davis belongs on a short list of players who never realized their true potential. Shout out to Kal Daniels, too!

Pedro One of the other guys I was thinking of. Really the only argument you could probably make against this was that I think Bonds' peak lined up with Pedro's peak? I never viewed Pedro or Randy Johnson or Roger Clemens as must-see-TV because they represented an anathema to what fans really come o...

Before the answer was Griffey the correct answer might have been Rickey Henderson.

Yeah, it was Junior. He got hurt and was never the same player the second half of his career (for basically his entire time in Cincinnati)…

In addition to being on a 14-game losing streak, the Orioles have dropped 21 of their 23 games overall. It has been...bad. There’s an article on the Athletic wondering if the O’s fanbase is wavering on Mike Elias’ rebuild. I think the fact that three of the Orioles’ minor league teams currently sit...

I don't understand (other than they a) vastly underestimated the backlash and b) are assholes) that the French Open didn't just continue to fine her and let it go at that. These pressers are fucking stupid anyways. I hope this gets them all thinking more about mental health issues. Seems like the n...

I gotta say, Johnnie being military, espousing his views here helps to keep me grounded. I mean, make no mistake, as a country we are spiraling down the wrong path, but he gives me hope that not all is lost.

He woke up rock and roll in the 80s to keep everything on track (hat tip to his brother, cuz The Fabulous Thunderbirds were doing that too).

I'm really, really done with seeing veterans condescendingly make social media posts about what Memorial Day is about. "IN CASE YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT BBQ AND BEER, THINK AGAIN. AND DON'T THANK ME FOR MY SERVICE TODAY. MILITARY MEMBERS DIED. REMEMBER THEM." Like, ok Vet-bro. Chill the fuck ...

I’m pretty sure the Braves aren’t so fucking happy they got Ozuna. Hate to be cynical but they're probably just sad he got caught. Not sure the Angels would care if Mike Trout was chopping up hookers and dumping the bodies on the 405 as long as he didn't get caught and kept raking 1.000+ OPS Damn t...

I'm 8 episodes in to season 2, and there hasn't been a bad one yet. I couldn't get out of the blocks on season 1, but you guys are convincing me to give it another go.

They say that your mother's father's head of hair will dictate your hair 'health'. I dunno how accurate that is, because my younger brother has the same head of hair as my dad (thin, balding). My hair is hardly showing any signs of a receding hairline. Still thick. No thinning where a bald spot migh...

You used decimals in a sentence where percentages are typically used (and percentages include decimals).

Carry on.

Eta 82/7763 so ten times higher. 1%

.001 of gun murders means a percentage of gun murders. In your scenario, you're off by 100x the amount, not 10x, right?

When a song by Christopher Cross has back-up vocals from Michael McDonald, it becomes the de facto most yacht rock-y song of all time, right?

The Jets, who had no 4,000-yard seasons in the 16-game era, had one in the 14-game era.

And in typical Jets fashion, that QB threw more INTs than TDs that season.

So…a player ignorant of MLB culture should be given a pass because the (unwritten) rule about speeding up blowout victories should be done away with? The 3-0 take has nothing to do with speeding up the game, by rule or logically. Its a "respect" thing ... if a pitcher falls behind 3-0 in ...

EnochRoot

How is taking walks rather than swinging speeding up the game? It’s Baldelli’s call there, but if you want to go there, fine. Just ground out. You don’t just magically hit home runs. Back to what I was saying about LaRussa: Mercedes was thrown at the other day for his antics, and it’s Tony’s fault....

You’re trying to correct a rule you perceive to be wrong by not punishing the player for breaking it. That’s shortsighted.

EnochRoot

Throwing at batters, benching players, and trashing them to the media is much simpler than shrugging your shoulders at a player paid to swing the bat swinging the bat at a great pitch to hit, I guess. OK. The White Sox were up by 12 runs. The Twins inserted the position player to pitch the rest of ...

And my comment was a straw man? We celebrate it when Rizzo strikes out Freeman (or whichever way it was) Except it actually fucking happened?
