The sport is broken.

Contracts are decided on stats, not unwritten rules. An extra HR, an extra bump in OPS. Fuck unwritten rules. Make a fucking pitch otherwise shut the fuck up. Yeah, once the manager decides "I don't want to waste a pitchers arm on this crap" all bets are off. We celebrate it when Rizzo st...

Whether or not a position player is pitching isn’t relevant, and people tend to cite unwritten rules of baseball when they feel said rule should be done away with. Swinging 3-0 when you’re up by a ridiculous amount of runs is a dick move. LaRussa attempted to emphasize that point, but he fucked it up.

It’s 8 pm on the east coast and my next door neighbor decided that right now would be a good time to begin mowing his lawn. Cool. If it’s still light out I’m ok with that. Unless it’s a two hour cut It ain’t 2 hours, but it will be followed by the trimmer and blower. I mean. Ok? Dude might have pla...

Bouncing checks in America is frowned upon too, but on Sundays specifically?

They can tweak the weight of the ball or even go to the extremes of lengthening the distance from the rubber to homeplate. The only fix I see working is banning the shift. The launch angle focus won't go away, but knowing you can get a hit on a ball in play will help reduce the extremes. Here's two ...

Um…there’s something else...

I've been avoiding Breeders for as long as possible (my wife is a huge Martin Freeman fan, because she tends to view me as insufferable at times, so she fell hard for him in his role in Sherlock)...

No, to many Americans it’s not. It’s treated as a form of gospel.

EnochRoot

And fwiw, Sean Hannity was spewing talking points that suggested Cheney was not ousted for not propagating the big lie.

That’s a form of gaslighting.

I want to know more about how two conservative parties would mean SSDD in Washington.

EnochRoot

That would only matter if they voted differently than the other party. They won't. They embrace the same radical views on many issues so will remain a voting block. The only difference is there will be a schism in leadership and the agenda setting. But they will all still be anti-immigrant, pro-bus...

As much as I want to cheer this, it's quickly pushed to the side for the realization that this will only get worse. It's not a disagreement on politics either. Her and folks like Kinzinger are in absolute lockstep with Republican ideals. It's the fact they won't declare fealty to T***p. That's the ...

I watched "I Don't Feel At Home in this World Anymore" earlier today on Netflix (Melanie Lynskey, Elijah Wood).

It wasn't great by any stretch, but it wasn't bad either. 3 out of 5 stars.

The email of the week is freakin awesome. Email of the week! Michael: My grandpa (Popsie) was a genuine cowboy. Too young for WWI, and too old for WWII, he channeled all that latent masculine energy into being the manliest man I ever knew. In the 30’s he was was hired by a film producer because he w...

Apparently he suffered a traumatic brain injury from a car crash back in 2010. He spent the rest of his life struggling with substance abuse, in and out of legal troubles, etc. Tragic.

Wow. Follow your doctor's orders on your road to recovery, Pruitt!

I adult’d earlier by calling the cops on my neighbor for holding a ridiculously loud party tonight. It actually started around 2p. My guess is these guys are coked up, cuz they’ve been loud all day. Not enough slurring going on if this were alcohol-fueled. My neighbor’s mistake was not giving me 24 ...

LOL at a Yankee fan calling me angry after their behavior these games.

I only see images that look like "?", or maybe it's a pic of the dog's behind?

You're angry with the Astros. You're hurt. I get it. Let it out. Or maybe that's what you're doing with all the Altuve p0rn?

So if Rodgers retires and pays the Packers a chunk of change, what’s to stop Rodgers from un-retiring and signing elsewhere?

Yeah it’s still on Netflix.
