I’d love it if this Black Jack McDowell claim that LaRussa had some sign stealing communication system in place is true.  I fucking hate that asshole.

Huh, Kyrie opens his mouth in Brooklyn and once again he claims he’s misunderstood.  Shocking.

Baseball is so fucked up.  There isn’t any rule against stealing signs.  In fact it’s the ‘unwritten rule’ that places the burden upon the team flashing signs to do whatever to make it more difficult to be able to break the code so to speak.  You just can’t use electronics to communicate.  What the fuck, if you can figure out the signs why can…[Read more]

You know things are bad when Drew Rosenhaus fires you.

Beltran out.

Maybe I’m crazy but this is ridiculous.  Maybe the problem is that nothing changes with baseball.  They still call pitches the same way.  Each fucking pitch there’s the catcher flashing signs.  And the signs are still the same.  I dunno, maybe try something different after a hundred fucking years?  Maybe script some pitches the first…[Read more]

Heard something interesting on local radio the other day.  Tyler Polumbus is one of the new afternoon drive guys, Tom Nalen up and moved back to Mass, and they were talking about the Broncos recent and sudden swap out of offensive coordinators, Rick Scangerello fired and Pat Shurmur hired.  Polumbus talked about how it was likely that Vic Fangio c…[Read more]

Mendoza came out with the blame Fiers for speaking up approach, which job is that angling for?

Setting herself up as a keep quiet company person, so that will sit well with the Mets when they get stuck firing Beltran.  If they don’t, then she’s appealing to other front offices.  Also, she hates whistleblowers so the p…[Read more]

The day or so before the Astros sentence was handed down you had Cody Bellinger with his ‘well we did it the right way’ comments then CC Safatsia saying the Yankees should have won the World Series in ’17.  Particularly with Bellinger, he was horrible in both post seasons.  Had nothing to do with stealing signs.  Brutal in ’17 save for one of th…[Read more]

Saw that with Showalter.  Coffee sprayed everywhere.  How does this fucking guy keep getting jobs?  Baffling.

Pitchers and catchers report in 5 or 6 weeks seems like the Astros and Red Sox need to get someone rather quickly

The girl who died just celebrated her birthday yesterday.  Heartbreaking.

Mazz wants Eduardo Perez as manager, and quick, before the Mets fire Beltran and hire him.  Guessing Mazz thinks he sounds smart on the tv.  Actually I’d hire that broad in the booth, that would kill of guys like Callahan.

Looks like an SEC presser with the perfectly placed drink options.

Keuchly’s legacy to me was Gruden on MNF screeching his name every 15 seconds.

I say go Varitek, Derek Lowe as pitching coach maybe Cabrera as hitting coach.  The ladies will never know what hit them.

Re: The weird timing of the National Championship game this year with the long gap between Semis and Finals. It was because the venue was locked in five years in advance, but then the New Years’ Eve semifinals flopped a few years ago so they had to change the timing on that, but had to live with the locked in National C…

That story about the Browns coach having to report to the owner and analytic team on Friday is weird. I feel like something is missing or DePodesta doesn’t understand football. Having the coaching staff meet with the analytic team on Monday would make sense. Give suggestions on how to attack and defend the upcoming opponent. I…

Is Whitey Herzog dead?  Felipe Alou maybe?

Can I get me a tainted world series ring over at RedSox.com?

I had a Doc Charles ‘that’s brilliant, someone get me Jostens on line 1, stat!’ post queued up and lately it seems WordPress hates GIS pics.

Great day to be a Houston sports fan.  Your football team just puked up a 24 point lead in the playoffs and your baseball franchise just canned the manager and GM and you have no 1st or 2nd round picks the next 2 years!

‘I will withhold determining’ sounds like ‘wait until your father gets home’ and we all knew we were fucked when that happened.
