Spaceman Spiff

Manny's better, but not as marketable. I think Harper gets more.

Thanks, TTB! For the record I only posted it here when I went to CNN.com and it was splashed on the front page and figured it was good tailgate fodder as I said in the OP (where I also said that I hoped this wasn't true). Didn't know I was a right-wing guy. Guess I need to step up my Trump-bashing game so I can fit in with everyone else.

Wait, how can they be NOT anti-Trump then. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

@CRobi21 I can't look at J Cole without thinking of the dude from counting crows.

The passing is the best thing about this game.

Didn't know that it got pulled back. But I can't imagine that the Nats would let the Phillies swipe him away like that without putting that offer back on the table. If he was going somewhere like San Diego, fine. But in the division? Can't imagine they'd let him go.

I hope so. I don't want him to leave. EDIT: I don't want him to leave, but only if it means they can keep Turner, Rendon, Soto, Robles and others. If he walks and goes to Philly but the Nats end up re-signing the other guys, it'll be worth it.

I thought the Nats offered 10/300? Looks like Harper didn't wanna stay in Washington.

Thanks for clearing it up, I'd read the story but only briefly, didn't remember those details.

What tipped you guys off that his story was fishy? I didn't see anything fishy, then again I wasn't looking at it through a cynical lens.

I'd only heard of this guy after his attack, but in the words of The Dude, "New **** has come to light!" https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/16/entertainment/jussie-smollett-attack/index.html I figured this would be prime Tailgate fodder. I hope he didn't orchestrate this attack. That would be ****ed up on a lot of different levels.

Russell Westbrook is looking like one of Mike Tyson's hype men circa 1990. Diallo did well in an otherwise lackluster competition.

Wow, so you can jump over anyone and get a 50? I'm gonna use a trampoline and jump over Muggsy Bogues.

You can't jump over d-wade after Diallo jumped over Shaq.

Jumping over Shaq, I dig it.

That Dennis Smith Jr. dunk was pretty nice.

How the hell is that a 42?

That was pretty good, but only a 50 cause the rest have been subpar. Nice Larry Johnson jersey though. what the **** is this ****

Complete ass tonite. That Dennis Smith Jr. dunk was nice but it took him forever.

That first one was terrible.

Oh Shaq.... And then Kenny Smith not letting it go...

Hoping Seth pulls off the upset. I think NBA all star weekend is the best of all the big 4 sports and it's not that close. Don't watch too much NBA anymore but always watch Saturday night and the game on Sunday.

My bad, my bad, copied and pasted the list from last years OP.

Still a lot of baseball to be played between now and the draft but Rutschman is a really good looking prospect. Someone else can take that #1 spot though.

Spring Training! Hope of baseball and warm weather on the horizon! ...and then, it's the Orioles. Fresh off a 47 win season, by FAR the worst season in franchise history, Buck, Duquette, Adam Jones, Manny Machado, Kevin Gausman and others are gone. Unfortunately, Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo remain. But there's hope on the horizon, the Orioles signed Mike Elias from the Houston Astros as GM and he's bringing along his analytics buddy Sig Mejdal. Brandon Hyde, former bench coach for the Cubs takes over as manager. It should be a breath of fresh air as these gentlemen are coming from teams that have won a World Series recently. Once in the dark ages when it comes to advanced metrics and analytics, the Orioles should be moving ahead at light speed with these moves. Can't get too excited about the on-field product this year at Camden Yards, the real things will be to watch are the players in the minors, youngsters that get called up and how they develop as well as what Elias decides to do with the #1 draft pick. Bend over and spread your cheeks O's fans, it's gonna be a long summer but it can't be as bad as last year... ...can it?
