  1. It followed a live event. That live event ran long. They had to cut a segment for time. But go on, keep overreacting to one airing of something you've seen before.

  2. Firing Curt Schilling turns ESPN, ABC, and Disney into an anti-God, anti-conservative entity in an election year.

    Not firing him keeps the same people pissed off today pissed off at them as long as he's employed.

    Lose/lose situation for ESPN. Win/win for Schilling - if he gets fired, he's a martyr and will get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at speaking gigs. If he doesn't get fired, hey, he didn't get fired and Fox will be waiting there with open arms, crossover appearances on Fox News, and the knowledge that it has the rights to the World Series and half the playoffs for the next...four/five years, and baseball fans can't boycott their coverage.

    Its also not like thre havent been no-hitters by committee befote. I think it was houston or philly that had  4 pitchers combine for a no no. 

    Yeah there have been more than a couple - Astros in NY a few years back, Millwood and company for the Mariners, Hamels and the Phillies against the shitass Braves on Labor Day two years ago.

  4. I don't see why people are getting up in arms about Roberts pulling Stripling.

    -Yes he had a no-hitter, but he had four walks and four strikeouts, and only threw strikes on 58 of 100 pitches. Not as if he was mowing Giants hitters down left and right.

    -It was the first start of his major league career - he's not an "experienced vet" like Kershaw or Price or Greinke or whomever.

    -He's never thrown 100 innings in a season, so there's no history of durability there either.

    -He's two years removed from Tommy John surgery.

    -100 pitches was also a career-high at *any* level since being drafted. Last year, he only topped 90 once.

    -If you don't trust your bullpen to get five outs and protect a two-run lead, your bullpen is dogshit and you're not going to win a damn thing anyway.

    Oh right - it's the internet. Logic doesn't apply.

  5. The Cardinals are three games out. They were never more than 2.5 games back last year. THE TINGLING.

    My first game of the year is next week. Padres @ Phillies.

    I Want To Die.

  6. My Postseason/awards picks are notoriously awful, so I'll spare you. But some other predictions I'm feeling a little more confident in...

    • Both the Cardinals and Dodgers miss the playoffs
    • The Angels fall apart and finally start committing to a younger core
    • The Phillies don't finish with the worst record in baseball. Hell, they might not even be in the bottom five
    • The "solid" AL Central ends up being mediocre as all hell, and only two teams finish above .500

    And most importantly...

    • The Diamondbacks are a fucking sideshow and Paul Goldschmidt goes insane
  7. Charlotte will never happen because of the rights dickwagging that would surely take place between the Orioles/Nationals/Braves.

    Austin will never happen because of the rights dickwagging that would surely take place between the Rangers/Astros.

    A third New York team will never happen because of the rights dickwagging that would surely take place between the Yankees/Mets.

    Indianapolis will never happen because it's been a minor league city forever and that's all it will ever be. Same with New Orleans.

    Portland, Montreal, San Jose, and somewhere in Mexico are the most logical landing spots, but they're not going to happen for at least a decade unless a team gets lucky enough to break their lease and move.
