That's another good one.

Which is most painful for Boston fans:

--Brady winning win Bucs
--Clemens winning with Yankees
--Ray Allen winning with Heat
--Marchand winning with Panthers

Why do we think he didn’t have it from Day 1?

I will not know how to feel about Roman Anthony changing from #48 to #19 after one game until @billscheft.bsky.social weighs in.

This argument is just literally not true: Pete Rose and the 1919 Black Sox are in the fucking Museum! So is Bonds and Sosa!

How are major MLB writers confusing the Museum with the players elected into the Hall of Fame? THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Yes. This.

Yes. You would never want to just hammer that point over and over.

Say it!

Do you do bat lengths and weights, too?

There's nothing especially torpedo-shaped about these bats. Because a regular bat is already torpedo-shaped.

True story: thought it was crazy to piss off an entrenched veteran for some prospect who might not pan out.

(Worse, was still riding that take when Bledsoe recovered and it was time for him to get *his* job back from that Brady character.)

My memory isn’t what it used to be, I guess. How are things up in Vermont with your son the tennis player?

I think the plan announced at the time was to move
him to third, not second. But you’re right: it was wild and Val’s vow to play out his contract and get out of town was seen as an irreparable split.

Which brings me to your other point: Yes, this will blow over, too.

It’s a miracle she kept watching after the ‘86 one.

What year did we add the check box on the ballot to release them publicly?

Marcus was better?

YouTube video by Boston Herald Pats coach Bill Belichick talks Spygate with regard to Deflategate

Happy 10th anniversary of Bill Belichick going all Col. Jessup on me re: Spygate/Deflategate to all who celebrate.

Pelicans broadcaster sitting behind me after Celtics open 1 for 11 from 3-point range: "They couldn't throw it in the Back Bay."

Me (turning around, during the next timeout): Actually, the Back Bay is land, not water.

You are a worthy heir to carry on the “shocked —shocked!” construction passed down from Bob Ryan.

I’m a compiler.

The “how can you have a baseball hall of fame without Bonds/Clemens/Rose” is especially misguided. There’s a museum. They’re all in there.”

baseball's hall of fame voting system is actually very good; every ballot (the good one and the crazy ones) results in people talking about and thinking about players, and the discussion allows time for players' careers to be re-contextualized with a reasonably long view of history.

Dear @PepperidgeFarms
pls make the cookie dividers edible they're killing my momentum

You might as well have said “what are ya, chicken?”

Schools to beat Alabama twice in the same calendar year:
Michigan: 1/1/2024 and 12/31/2024
Auburn: 2/22/1893 and 11/30/1893

Now this time Nomar was better.

That's pretty bad. Who was the Raiders QB then?
