Have they ever done anything good?

Adidas seems to be trying really hard to out-ugly Nike. They might be winning.

somebody's angry

I was recently talking about this with my kids, and I don't really remember the first time I walked into Wrigley. The first game I remember is watching the California Angels in the Metrodome when they had Rod Carew and Reggie Jackson. Carew hit a foul ball that landed about 3 rows behind us, and that's still by far the closest I've come to catching a ball at any professional game at any level.

Worse than the Holocaust, AIDS, or pizza rolls expelling their contents while still in the oven? I think not.

It would be even more amazing if it stayed over 50%.

He looked really good except for all the times he was bad.

This is so strange.

Mitch is a bumbling fool.

USA wins gold in beach volleyball

Usain Bolt vs. 116 years of Olympic sprinters

They do.

I had that conversation with a co-worker yesterday, and he thought replay would ruin baseball because "it's funny to watch managers argue".

It was quite nice of a man of his stature to lend his glove to Darwin.

Dempster says he didn't listen in

I'm not sure the playing surface could handle that. Do baseball games really put that much of a stress on baseball fields? Not with a competent ground crew.

Damn, 19-17 in the 3rd set.

ok...

That's a big statement. While most GMs make their fair share mistakes,its one of the most desired jobs in sports, and there's only 30 of them out there. Whether we're talking Coletti, Hendry, Epstein, or Friedman, anyone who's ever made it to that point and stayed for any length of time, these guys are a lot more competent than even the smartest fans give them credit for. Most of these guys clawed their way up a ladder to get to where they are, and if they're doing a poor job, there's no shortage of guys waiting in line to take over. Also, a big market GM and a small market GM are very different jobs. With big market teams, the GMs job is to put a contender on the field every year. Obviously, unless you're the White Sox, the farm system's important. However, theres more pressure to contend each year and those prospects often become currency.With smaller market guys, it's to put a cost effective team on the field, and keep the farm system growing to work toward a window in which to contend sometime in the near future. When players become expensive, swap them out for cheaper ones. It's not often that you see a big market team do what Epstein and Hoyer are doing with the Cuba. I often wonder how Hendry, Colleti, or Cashman would make out in KC or Oakland Alternately, how would Andrew Friedman, Billy Beane or even Dayton Moore do with the Red Sox or Yankees. You lost me after "That's".

Yes, that's exactly why people do it, you weirdo.

That's not a real thing. Is it?

Gameday is really messed up. It keeps trying to tell me LaHair has 2 doubles today.

I hope Gameday can accurately show me what Cabrera has to offer.

This game got really ugly in a hurry.
