  1. Oh it's my choice. The firm is [expletive] paying for it, not me. They'd pay for the conference hotel.I like sitting in the bar watching whatever sports are on tv at the end of the day. You can't do that as easily in a fancy hotel full of horsefeathers lawyers. But it's SF, none of the hotels are exactly cheap. The only reason I mentioned it is a cubs t-shirt doesn't really stand out if I'm walking through the holiday inn lobby. But I'm glad we've thoroughly dissected another throw away line here. awww poor guy
  2. oh my god that pan over to the little league bleachers was the saddest thing
  3. he was my pick prior to the boat crash and he'll be my pick after.
  4. My favorite thing to do with Mike Trout is see where he falls in the all-time WAR rankings. At his current pace, he'll surpass Ken Griffey Jr in three seasons. He doesn't have a lot of these 9 and 10 WAR seasons left because the defense is gonna be a negative here pretty soon, but at this point it would be a huge upset for him not to finish with 100 WAR, which would put him in the top 20 of all time -- a list that is like bonds, ARod and 18 dudes who played in totally different eras.
  5. if he wasn't driving then it isn't, but it was his boat, it was in his name and the yahoo article quoted the group's friend (who stayed behind) as pleading with them not to let jose take it out
  6. well to be fair, boating that late at night was an awful decision, and his friend did say that he stopped at a restaurant super late at night. And if he was driving the boat that night ... well yeah it would be worse than oscar Didnt it come out that there was no alcohol in his system? Or am I misremembering? police just said they didnt find drugs or alcohol in the boat. no way they've gotten blood tests back
  7. LMFAO. I almost posted about how distasteful I found it that Carlos Martinez managed to shoehorn his murderous drunk driving horsefeathers former teammate into the Fernandez tributes Sunday night. well to be fair, boating that late at night was an awful decision, and his friend did say that he stopped at a restaurant super late at night. And if he was driving the boat that night ... well yeah it would be worse than oscar
  8. his insta account makes way more sense to me if it's someone else posting most of the pics but i like the idea that he's so into himself that he's just wowed at all these pictures so i choose to believe that
  9. why? If lots of guys did it but didn't lead the league maybe that shows you it was relatively easy to do in those years. sub 2 and leading league is cool oh, come on. as it is, 2 is just an arbitrary cutoff point that looks cool. it tells you just about nothing. i mean, if you want to look at what you're talking about, you just go look up who led the league in ERA+. hell, just last year arrieta had a considerably lower ERA (and better ERA+) but didn't lead the league because grienke happened to be lower. you know what else is dumb? pitching wins. It actually tells you nothing about how good the pitcher has been all year. watch out for more hot takes at my twitter page
  10. I don't care about the other numbers as much now that my pea brain is satisfied at the 100 RBI mark, but I def want 40 home runs
  11. welp yeah that's the one that made me tear up
  12. Ahh it was Romine. I thought he was a defensively minded catcher? lets not forget that pitcher missed his spot by about 4 feet
  13. fred was the mod who banned da bum, so he stays banned
  14. taking into account the possibility of a tragic plane crash
  15. As opposed to all the ways we get knocked out of the playoffs that you won't lose your [expletive] mind? there's just something about the idea of this guy being good for the cubs for like 15 months or whatever A DECADE AGO, then mysteriously being good again as an old man and beating the best cubs team ive ever seen that would be especially infuriating.
  16. if we get knocked out of the playoffs by rich horsefeathering hill im going to lose my god damn mind
  17. Speaking as someone who's been lucky enough to root for a good team the last few seasons, yes, there is a lot of bad football. don't you guys both like college football not really. my overall football his waned dramatically the last few years
  18. maybe this is my growing malaise for the NFL, but there seems to be a lot of really really bad football
  19. shes a bit of an ann hog
  20. we might still get that chance
  21. ive debated a similar trip so the winner may get both of us
  22. his defense is good, but the free agent signing was flawed ...
  23. darwin barney has a higher isop than heyward lol, good god
  24. oh no what would we do without his 6 home runs
