Nah, Vereen will get the rock. Especially in the pass game. Ridley might get cut and theres no one after that. Okey dokey. until he doesn't. There's the rookie White. And there's probably the guy selling hot dogs who they can bring down and give carries to. And in my fantasy league of Patriot fans,...

Patriots trade all-pro lineman Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay for TE Tim Wright (who?) and a draft pick. Smacks of a salary cap move to me. Whenever I see Mankins' name I think of the various times I've read McButterpants slobbering over him. Also he's not going to be back next year, need TE depth more...

He's awful on the mound, but, supposedly, his teammates love him. He must do a lot of apologizing after games.

I haven't changed the channel since the marathon started and I don't plan to.

Anyone use a Fitbit? I've been trying to use some shitty Windows Phone app to track my running but it always malfunctions, so I need something better. Not sure if I want the Fitbit to track my sleep -- I'd probably become so self-conscious about wearing it, then I wouldn't be able to sleep. Also, I'...

What the general public fascination with Manziel anyways? I dont get it. If he hadn't flipped off the washington bench this thread wouldn't have been bumped. We're the real fans here. I was planning on bumping to talk about how shitty the NFL looks. Fixed it for you. This has been worse than replac...

The employment lawyers on our end said legally we can do it, but I'm pushing to not do it.

(I could maybe accept someone concerned about losing affordable housing - but someone who deliberately wants to make less money so she can claim to be disabled when in fact she is able to work? Fuck that.) Now I'm not sure if it was disability or social security or something else, but if it is disa...

Not sure if this is a legal or ethical question (if so, I'm in the wrong thread, amiright) or none of the above. Anyway, interviewed an overqualified person for a part time position and my boss gave her a job offer. She accepted the offer but asked that we pay her $5r/hr less which would bring her r...

What a trainwreck this governor press conference is. I'm guessing he gets money from the police union.

So he may have murdered someone with his car. I checked Sportcenter bu Johnny Manziel played in an exhibition game.

it's been a season of dumb Bryce Harper things:
1. Should he bat 6th
2. Should he slide into first and run into walls.
3. Should I draft him instead of Andrew McCutcheon. Fuck.

Hmm. On one hand, they are building another financially inflexible 3-headed monster that eventually doomed Miami. On the other hand, it did get Miami to 4 Finals appearances, two wins and you have Love long term. As much as I would have liked the prospect of Wiggins + LeBron + max guy next offseaso...

McHale/Parrish (HOFer, but joined before their primes) LeBron/Bosh (Unless Loves turns into a bust) Schilling/Foulke (played important roles and wonderful personalities) After extensive research, I'm going with no. Edit: Unless, I'm reading Hockey-Reference wrong (which is highly likely), it looks l...

Maybe this should be in the Real or Onion thread

LaRussa just blamed the Pirates for pitching inside. I have a bad habit of reading replies to Keith Law tweets. Based on Diamondback fan replies, I now believe Arizona should not have a baseball team nor representation in Congress.

Washington claims Yankees non-LOOGY LOOGY who is under contract through next year, Yankees simply let him walk. Not sure why no American League team claimed him. $4 mil for the next 2 years for a serviceable bullpen guy seems like a good deal. Tigers, Angels or another team with bullpen struggles c...

Did you bring any of those good Hunter Pence signs?

EdRomero

So, who did my team get to play second base. Our genius GM certainly isn't going into the last 50 games with Dan Uggly, right? (Sorry, it is just an old habit to bash Sabes. It ain't his fault all these injuries and concussions.) Stephen Drew was available. (And once again, Derek Jeter refuses to c...

I think both Detroit and Tampa Bay did very well. No surprise. They are run by top-notch people. I'm impressed that TB was willing to throw in the towel on this season . Very few management teams would have the nerve to do this in their situation. How the deal looks for TB in a few years will large...

Not only will he pitch well, but David Price's great wisdom will solve Detroit's economic woes.

Big defensive upgrade for the Yankees at shortstop.

I'm surprised so many Sox fans assume Lester is returning. I'd bet against it.

EdRomero

I'd be interested in learning what they turned down. Maybe Bill James has a secret stat that Cespedes will be great -- an algorithm that involves HR Derby championships. Now let's get a bidding war for Lackey and Miller. And Drew.

EdRomero

I think the perception of tanking is more of an issue for promoting the entire league. As a Celtics fan, I was okay with them tanking, but it's tough to like a league where so many teams are intentionally bad. I figure that has some sort of financial impact on the league.

Doubront is a nice buy low pickup for Theo.

EdRomero

I like it in theory, but with the NBA, more than any other league, it seems that Florida and Texas team with their tax laws and LA and NY with secondary deals available (plus it's NY and LA) have a huge advantage signing free agents. I don't know if it was talked about during my sabbatical, but I li...

Their farm system looks good, but I'm worried the decision making for the major league team will mess up their prospects. The A.J. Pierzynski signing stalled the Vazquez call up, and he's been ridiculously better than AJ(or as Alex Fritz calls him, Hitler) with pitchers and base runners. Then there'...

EdRomero

So Jon Lester isn't starting tomorrow which means he'll probably be traded. The low ball offer the Sox gave him during spring training was strange -- I don't know if the Sox have decided to never give a long term contract again to a pitcher over the age of 30 because it's sounds like they could have...

I thought Grantland did a good job on the Love/Wiggins debate. I like the idea of waiting it out to see what Wiggins is because the potential with him and LeBron is so good. But with Love theoretically in your pocket, don't you need to win this gamble at like the 90th percentile success or higher a...

I thought Grantland did a good job on the Love/Wiggins debate. I like the idea of waiting it out to see what Wiggins is because the potential with him and LeBron is so good.

It's something to scream about when instead of being able to watch Adonis Chapman pitch, I get to watch an interview with a pitcher discussing whether or not he grooved a pitch to Jeter or the 90 other examples during the game when Fox decided to focus on Jeter rather than the game or anything else....
