  1. I hate everything about Baylor.
  2. Agreed. I thought Judge was dumb for not signing it at the time. There was no reason to expect that he’d produce at this level, so I don’t really blame them for not signing him in April - it was a reasonable offer based on his likely production. But he’s performed at an unlikely level and now the calculus has changed, and they’ll end up paying more. Probably a lot more.
  3. Maybe. Seems to me that the Yankees pretty much have to give him whatever he wants now, right? Are they really going to let their marquee player, who is having an historic season and has nearly single-handedly kept them from free-falling in the second half of the year, sign elsewhere? Cashman seems fucked here as far as negotiations go.
  4. *McGwire 1998; Willie (not Wilkie) McCovey. (Patagonia-clad old with no street cred struggles to type on new-fangled, hand-held computer phone.)
  5. Judge currently has a 213 OPS+. Here are the guys who finished above 200 since 1940 (not counting Soto in ‘20, because 60 games): Bonds (1992, 1993, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004) McGwire (1988) Bagwell and Frank Thomas (1994; also strike-shortened season) George Brett (1980) Wilkie McCovey (1969) Mantle (1956, 1961) Ted Williams (1941, 1942, 1946, 1947, 1954, 1957) That’s it. Pretty historic season for Judge.
  6. You wanna know how old I am? I don’t even get this joke. (Shit, I do have a Patagonia jacket; no idea what this now says about me, but it’s a nice burnt orange color and it should last the rest of my life, so I guess I don’t care.)
  7. Well that explains it; I’m old and try to avoid interacting with the youths.
  8. Right; if QE were playing, it would be Texas -16.
  9. You know, I’d normally assume that this is a joke and that nobody would actually believe this. But I’ve also been exposed to enough ag thoughts/ideas in my life to give me some pause.
  10. In fairness to them, the entire ag culture is really difficult to believe. I still sometimes wonder if it’s all one giant joke and that they’re actually comedic geniuses. But the far more likely explanation is that they’re sincere and the whole damn thing really is as bizarre as it seems.
  11. The entire conversation about “yell” is hilarious but this post killed me. It’s perfect.
  12. They’re rankings, not standings. It’s literally people voting on who they think the best 25 teams are. Texas will get votes because they played essentially an even game against the overwhelming #1 team (according to these same voters), and it’s not unreasonable to vote for them.
  13. With a healthy Ewers, I think our ceiling is 11 wins. (Not the most likely outcome, but a reasonable chance.) With Card, yeah…maybe we can get to 8. Maybe.
  14. I expected a high scoring game and a relatively close Bama win. I expected to come out of the game feeling pretty stoked about QE and the offense for the rest of the year. So yeah, I don’t know how to feel either. Kind of the opposite of my expectation I guess.
  15. Yeah that’s what I saw too. Hit Overshown in the helmet. Which makes the original roughing call all the more egregious and inexcusable.
  16. I mean, 2008-2009 defense were pretty goddamn salty. But yeah, they played really well today. Edit: yeah, Muschamp
  17. Yup, we lost by one despite playing with one arm tied behind our back for 75% of the game. Sadly we’ll probably be playing with an arm tied behind our back for the rest of the season. Props to the team and coaches. Great plan, great execution, other than Card, but he was banged up too.
  18. Goddamnit let’s go win this motherfucker
  19. This, he can’t get anything on the ball
