  1. People here think Makar is better than Bobby Orr. It's pretty comical.
  2. Man, this one hurts, because he (and probably Fidrych) was the biggest "legend" of my childhood. He threw shutouts in 4 of his first 5 starts his rookie season (IIRC, he allowed 1 run in the other game), but I didn't see any of them because they weren't nationally televised, and this was before ESPN, so you really didn't even get highlights, except Saturdays on This Week in Baseball. In fact, the DMN would never even have west coast box scores the next morning, so my dad would listen to the news on the radio in the morning -- I remember lying on the couch eating breakfast before school one day and my dad coming in and just saying, "He threw another shutout last night." I tried to learn how to throw a screwball that summer, and holy shit, that hurt my arm. If you weren't alive back then, it's impossible to understand how big of a superstar he was. Like, bigger than Ohtani now...
  3. I'm serious -- the NCAA should fine the coach/program for hits like that.
  4. That's one of the worst cheap shots I've seen in a while. That kid needs to be gone for more than a game.
  5. Jesus, I have zero memory of Robbie Alomar playing for Arizona. And now that I'm looking at his BRef page, I have even less understanding of why a 51-win team would sign him at age 36.
  6. Lulz, you couldn't stand being right for once and just leaving it at that? The Tigers just fucking wrecked the Yankees in that series.
  7. When was the last time the two league MVPs played in the World Series?
  8. I'm actually pro 46 boosters to “stop the spread." But 47, nah, that's taking it just too far.
  9. 1. How is Cohen not on that list? 2. Holy shit, I've met the Mariners' owner, and I had no idea it was him. I thought he was just some random dumbfuck.
  10. Who was the guy on the Flyers a few years ago who fell so much it became a meme? Hartnell?
  11. I'm not even going to bother posting his rankings this week because he benefitted from Busted Clock Syndrome. Instead, let's go with one of his classics:
  12. I REALLY hope Sam Elliott is being paid a small fortune for those commercials.
