I don't believe in "pitcher vs. team" type stats but damn Lester....have we ever got over on him? Let's buy him!

He'll probably win a game against us in the ALCS, but we'll win the series so NBD

Can someone explain why ERII is a Yankees fan? Low Self Esteem or just special needs?

he either a) had a somewhat distant relative that was a big yankees fan and uses that to justify his fandom or b) obtained an article of yankees apparel after one of their world series wins in the 90's and uses it to justify his fandom

He also likes Duke bball fwiw (and would rather have Kstate basketball win the NIT, than make it to the tourney). Fwiw, I have a friend from college who roots for ku bball, Kstate football, the bulls and blackhawks, the packers and the braves.

Prediction: we'll need at least 6 runs to win tomorrow night

been thinking about this the last few day, is there a better catcher that frames a pitch in the last say 5-10 years than salvy?

beautiful thing to watch

It feels really good to be the center of the sports universe right now.

(but with coffee, because it's 9:30 and we're not alcoholics)

is this real?

Wow! I really liked Billy after Moneyball, but now I want that no talented hack to eat his words.

The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep · « **Reply #16890 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:20:05 AM »

yes it's real.

mocat · « **Reply #16891 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:25:18 AM »

I don't think the Royals are a collection of "garbage talent". also Billy can kiss Ned's ring

mocat · « **Reply #16892 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:25:42 AM »

also, I'm going tonight.

Having never seen Major League, maybe I'm not informed enough to say, but how does one "trick" players into playing well?

Phil Titola · « **Reply #16894 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:33:59 AM »

I want that to be real so hard. I mean it was really published but it's Grantland. The interview isn't real.... It is hilarious.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #16895 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:46:15 AM »

I'd love Billy Beane even more if he said something that awesome.

You are correct. ERII is just a low self esteem doo doo brain.
