  1. Haha what the fuck. No actual doctor would ever say that. Hell, no halfway reasonable person would ever say that.
  2. Always liked Posey, hope he makes it into the Hall. Relatively short career but a ROY, MVP and best player on 3 title teams should do it. Jaffe always points out that 2,000 hits has been a de facto requirement, but it seems like that will have to change at some point. Posey’s 129 career OPS+, .302/.372/.460 slash line, postseason success, defensive value, 7 all-star games should get him in.
  3. Hahaha fucking Aaron Rodgers. Yeah I’ve hated this fucking douche since his pity party bitchfest back in ‘04 (it’s still fucking hysterical that after he cried about the Rose Bowl he got his ass kicked by fucking Tech). This is fantastic that he’s showing everyone how much he sucks. Also - it is fucking terrific that this guy, who has somehow fooled everyone into thinking he’s intelligent over the years, has now dispelled that in a single fucking day by rehashing all this asinine non-science.
  4. Well of course you don’t see it right now, because it’s only been 3 in a row. You’ll see it tomorrow though.
  5. You know what? Give me a shitshow over boring mediocrity. Shitshows are at least perversely entertaining.
  6. It’s not about the game “emotionally controlling” our lives…it is about being fucking bored by terrible football every weekend for over a decade. It’s supposed to be entertainment. I don’t watch shitty movies or listen to terrible music so that I can enjoy the good stuff more. Wasting time watching the Texas football team trip over it’s own dick every week/year does not provide any value.
  7. I appreciate your cynicism but we all know what’s going to happen next week.
  8. Well look, none of us had ever seen a baseball game until 2015, which is when we all jumped on the Astros bandwagon. We only respect the Astros, and that’s only when they’re scoring enough points to win.
  9. I mean we pretty much hate everybody. You know this.
  10. Altuve: 130 wRC+, 5.2 fWAR Albies : 107 wRC+, 4.2 fWAR But ok.
  11. I mean, they made the playoffs in last year’s 60-game mini season. Which means that, in a real season, they would have been doing pretty well in the standings on Memorial Day.
  12. I’ve been concerned about the Astros’ pitching all season, and then they lost McCullers. But, they’ve already made it through the AL. I’m thinking Astros in 7. The lineup is so strong and I think the pitching is just good enough. That said, it’s baseball. In a 7-game series with two really good teams, no outcome is really all that improbable.
  13. Meh. I think you generally know what you have in a head coach by year 2. At that point, they’ve had 2 off-seasons to implement systems, get players acquainted and up to speed, 2 full recruiting cycles, etc. Year 1 miscalculations and fuckups are pretty common and it’s hard to know how to weight the apparent issues (how much is on players, schemes, coaches, etc). Sark has a track record as a HC, and that tells us something. He was also really young when he took over a shitty Washington program, and he obviously had some other issues that can compromise performance during his first go-round as a HC. Is it reasonable to suggest that he can do better at this point in his career, that he can be a better coach now than he was then? Sure. Do we know that yet? No. We knew Strong wasn’t going to make it by year 2. Herman had a good second season, but still lost 4 games. I think that’s about who Herman was - he’d win some big games every now and then, but was going to consistently lose 3-5 games every year. We’ll see with Sark. The record/results is one thing. I’m more interested to see how this staff adapts and adjusts as this season goes on, and then see if they eliminate this year’s issues in ‘22. Herman’s teams made the same mistakes year after year. He wasn’t terrible, but he wasn’t good enough and wasn’t getting better. We’ll probably know what we need to know about Sark next year.
  14. Yeah, I disagree. Boston won 92 games in a really tough division (TB, NYY, TOR are all legitimately good teams). Devers/ Bogaerts/JDM is a strong offensive core, and guys like Schwarber, Verdugo, Hernandez and Renfroe are good supporting players. The pitching doesn’t necessarily scare you, but it’s solid. I think the Astros have a better roster right now, but the Red Sox are pretty damn good.
  15. Fuck yes man. One more series. Shut everybody the fuck up.
  16. Oregon’s stupid fucking uniforms:
  17. Baylor should always wear those, but I don’t want Baylor to have nice things, so I’m glad they don’t. Fuck Baylor.
  18. That Holiday Bowl game to end ‘03 was when I remember people starting to get really impatient with Mack. Everything you stated is true, but Mack had also lost to OU 4 straight, including 2 total ass beatings. Mack was in his 6th year and everyone had kind of concluded after that game that his program had plateaued and that he couldn’t get over the hump. He made the defensive change going into ‘04 and VY became VY that season, and the rest is history. But there was a lot of doubt about Mack after that Wash St game.
  19. I think one or two people may have opined that Texas possibly “dodged a bullet” after Urban hired the racist from Iowa and Charlie Strong and brought the Tebow circus to Jacksonville. Since then WTB reflexively posts this anytime Urban is mentioned.
  20. Ah right, forgot about Florida St. My bad.
