  1. What do you have against pocket squares? Nothing -- but a pocket square should never match the tie, lest the gentleman wearing it wishes to appear clownish.
  2. http://replygif.net/i/160.gif
  3. It's pretty bad. It's not like it's shorthand... it's just horrible grammar. I don't know why you'd type or say that, ever.
  4. Are you disagreeing that Sammy was one of the Cubs greatest hitters? No, I'm saying that the Tweet reads like a non-English speaker wrote it.
  5. It's the horrible sports show triumvirate! 5+ dudes sitting at a single table on camera? Check. Horrible suits with pocket squares matching ties? Check. Mini field where analysts slowly walk through plays in dress shirts and slacks? Check.
  6. Did Sammy ghostwrite Rizzo's tweet? Anthony Rizzo ‏@ARizzo44 1h1 hour ago Had the opportunity of meeting one of the cubs greatest hitters this weekend. pic.twitter.com/MK2KjTGcud Yeesh.
  7. Hub has said that it is widely believed/expected that there's already a sale worked out for when that happens to Pat Ryan. Like he has any chance of outliving Virginia Pat Ryan's in excellent health. The dude does not look 80.
  8. It'd be nice if NU didn't go on these 6-minute scoreless droughts before actually playing good basketball.
  9. Which Wintrust logo?' ETA Oh. I actually think it looks pretty unintrusive.
  10. Go ahead and poke fun at the idea of a surprise mystery team, but 3 GMs believe that a previously unreported team has entered the Lester sweepstakes. Any team he signs with must work with the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. ...purple monkey dishwasher.
  11. Yeah, getting to more balls doesn't necessarily mean more errors. Looking at 3B from last year, there's not a correlation between the UZR and errors. Too lazy to do an all-time test, but I don't think that "he gets to more balls" is an excuse for his error rate. Now, whether his range makes the errors easier to correct (hey Josh, you don't have to throw the ball every time you get to it) is another story.

  13. @Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: Tomas, #DBacks agree at 6 yrs, $68.5M, as first reported by @JesseSanchezMLB. Can opt out and become free agent after 4 years.
  14. Haha Beckman's staying. I guess there is a silver lining after all!
  15. It would be nice to play Illinois with our starting QB for once but [expletive] this team. Does this mean Beckman's staying?
  16. I'm an Eagle Scout and you all are pussies.
  17. After Ortiz retires, I'd bet that's the plan. Isn't he actually a pretty good defender, or at least decent? Not last season.
  18. [expletive] you, Red Sox. You have your 3 titles, just collect the money like the Yankees are choosing to do. Let us have something you bastards! Or we could, you know, outbid someone.
  19. Because no one actually wants Jon Lester for 6 years, that's just the cost of doing business. In a fantasy world where you can name your duration, most people would probably pick 4 years. This isn't a fantasy world, so most people were hoping for 5 but understanding of 6. When you go to 7 you're now facing a pretty significant chance that Lester is nearly useless for half his contract. Useless? That's not a very strong likelihood. The phrase was "nearly useless," and it's not like it's unprecedented. Look at CJ Wilson.
  20. Rosenthal is saying Hanley to BoSox all but done. @Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Sources say Hanley’s deal with #RedSox will be in range of five years, $90M. @Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Source: Hanley Ramirez headed to Boston tomorrow to finalize deal with #RedSox.
  21. Chicago accents are awful. I agree, but that wasn't his accent. It was him saying the wrong word.
  22. Diehl just called Paea, "Paella". Someone's hungry!
