I’m glad we highlighted Jonny Anomaly before he makes a round 1 exit, sometimes it’s the unlikely candidates to even be in the tournament, the ones that are just happy to be here, that make the most heartwarming stories. Pope Thrower is really low seeded, and should have a really good matchup with Precious Orji next… Read more

I can’t believe the same shit from 2016 is happening again. Pope Thrower is fine. He’s ok. He’s up against Princehoward Barebecue Yee, by any reasonable metric a top three name in the tournament...and the Pope is winning like 72%-28%. A disaster. This is already the second worst NOTY voting travesty ever - nothing… Read more

Pope Thrower is this years auburn. You don’t want to run into him until you absolutely have to Read more

This region is a fucking bloodbath. There isn’t a bad name in the bunch and it has at least 5 of my 7 favorites. The selection committee should be ashamed. Read more

I like Jonathon Anomaly because he’s an anomaly. Not a lot of 16 seeds can pull that off... Read more

If there is a God, may the woefully underseeded Pope Thrower fight the godslayer, Deicide Huxtable Read more

Boras called Ted Lerner the next day to discuss the offer. The Nationals, though, didn’t consider it a starting point, and it didn’t exist in perpetuity. Free agency begins the morning after the World Series ends. The Nationals needed to know Harper’s intentions by then so they could approach the offseason… Read more

You don’t use the inflation rate for a discount rate. It should be what would be earned on that money if received today. 6% is reasonable. Read more

The constant cross pollination of politics and anything DC is starting to get old. There are 700K of us living here, many not in politics, but have normal lives doing whatever people do where you live. A (questionable) decision made by the Lerners for our Nats has nothing to do with the one dickhead that lives in the… Read more

2072!!! Just to put that in perspective: if someone tells you they’ll give you $10,000 but you have to wait until 2072 to collect it, they are actually giving you $455.82 (assuming 6% discount rate, which is high but not unreasonable). At a 3% discount rate (probably more realistic), they’re actually offering you… Read more

Harper met with the Lerners again two days before Christmas, and conveyed to them his desire for a longer term, even, he says, at a smaller average salary. After New Year’s, the Nats’ second offer arrived. It was for 12 years. Good. It was for a smaller AAV. Fine. It was, shockingly, for less total money than the… Read more

the Nationals had decided they didn’t want Bryce Harper back. I hope Nats fans keep that in mind. Read more

That’s a clown offer, bro Read more

So was this vindictive or did the Nationals seriously believe there was no offer waiting for him in Philly and tried to squeeze him? Read more

It’s funny that, even though they fouled literally seconds earlier and MSU didn’t go to the line, that everybody is so used to teams being in the bonus that late that your mind just assumes a foul will = free throws. Cassius Winston clearly thought the same from his comments.  Read more

I hear they have a plastic Captain America shield for the team deflecting the worst PR. The Cubs, Giants, Cubs, Rays and Cubs are in the running this year. Read more

I hope everyone in baseball starts using one of the 10,000 variations of Baby Shark (I like the Halloween one best). My kid has started to ask for Monkey Banana more than Baby Shark which might be even worse.

When he was on the Buffalo Bisons, Andy Marte used “Chacarron” as his walk-up song and it was his single greatest contribution to the city of Buffalo.
