Look at JD Martinez trying to get ahead of the reaction everyone's going to have when MLB finds that the Red Sox cheated, too: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28724451/red-sox-jd-martinez-thinks-astros-bashing-bit-much

Manfred is terrible. Dude doesn't have a chance of getting fired cause he is making the owners money. But he's bad for the game.

Oh for FFS. Nats fans acting like they actually LOST to the Astros is hilarious. Did you guys forget you won the World Series last year? This has probably got to be the only time in history that the defending WS champs are butthurt about the team they beat.

How does one cheat at soccer? Flop better than the rest when the tiniest amount of contact is made?

They're good. Lost in all of this is that Altuve is still a damn good hitter, won two batting titles before 2017 (and hit .376 on the road vs. .299 for one of those batting titles). And in the year that everyone's complaining about, he still hit better on the road than he did at home. Same for 2018. He's lead the league in stolen bases twice. Bregman doesn't have much playing time before 2017 but he was the 2nd overall pick in 2015, the skill set is there. People are acting like they all of a sudden became good players and all the good things they did were because someone banged on a trashcan to alert them for what pitches were coming and that they'd be .220 hitters otherwise. That's not the case. In Altuve's case in particular, he was on his way to being this generation's version of Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn or Ichiro. EDIT: Bregman was a better hitter on the road in 2017 and 2019. Players home/road splits aren't consistent from year to year, unless you're Stan Musial (1,815 hits at home, 1,815 hits on the road) and even then, his rate metrics are varied enough in the OBP and slugging departments.

Also, if he's so pissed off about not being able to use it...dude, ****in use it. Right there. Let it fly. Be the change you wanna see.

To borrow from Bill Burr...what'd you expect that guy to think? Did you expect that guy to have enlightened progressive views on race?

While I'm pissed that the Astros did what they did and look forward to seeing Bregman and Altuve play dodgeball in the batters box all summer....they also ****ed over the Yankees. I can't get too mad at that.

Sam Elliot, FTW. Look up Tom Mabe telemarketer's nightmare. old but good, it's on YouTube. I'd link it here but rules.

Burgers for breakfast. Goddamn.

I understand that Boston boofed the pooch by not locking up Betts earlier on in his career when they probably had a better chance. Sucks for them, but it happens. I hope they do the same with Devers.

Apple store, get it together.

Watched Parasite this afternoon, really liked it. Not sure if it's Best Picture worthy but it's good. Wouldn't be mad if it won.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot!!!!

Defamation my bozack, bro.

First of all, the typo here is hysterical. Second, aren't you constantly flaunting your lawyering skills on here? Can't you just whip up some letter at the drop of a hat and try to intimidate someone into doing something? What good is your degree otherwise?

I mean, where they stopped at?

I think the list of things you can't put down the garbage disposal is longer than the list of things you can.

I don't get how Wiggins makes sense for GSW.

Jojo Rabbit. A. Hilarious movie with some really nice dramatic parts. Everyone in this movie had an awesome performance.

Dodgers took on Price, which looks to become a really ****ty contract in order to have Betts. Boston wouldn't trade Betts unless they could offload a significant chunk of the Price contract. I know the Sox want to get under the luxury tax threshold but I'm not sure how the Dodgers are under it. Their payroll has to be huge, especially after this trade.

McMillion's on HBO. I just watched the first episode, it's the only one that's been released. It's a docuseries on the people that rigged the McDonald's Monopoly game in the early 2000s and how the FBI caught them. There's one agent who's being interviewed that's hysterical, it's great.

Putting on a sweatshirt that's fresh out of the dryer is one of life's best simple pleasures.
