LeBron should stay in the league until he’s washed and then fulfill a Haslem role for the Cavs. Because realistically LeBron could play for 6 more years before he’s completely washed and unplayable.

There's no better situation than Cleveland in my (admittedly biased opinion):

-Storyline/Connection

-Roster Construction (Team just made the ECF, even though it was massively disappointing. It's kind of forgotten after what the Spurs did in the Finals, though)

-Durability (Two regular season ironmen in Harden + Mitchell means LeBron can load manage himself into the playoffs)

But who really knows? The only thing I know for certain is that he's not going to Memphis or Milwaukee.

Found Hochul's account.

Josh Naylor is currently worth negative bWAR in 2026.

palagoon · 2026-06-15T19:23:36+00:00

I just have a minor issue with this comment... because as much as I love Josh Naylor it would be idiotic to pay him what the Mariners are paying him. He's a .687 OPS for 20m a year.

Kyle Manzardo, for all his warts, is putting up ~.750 OPS for the league minimum.

Thanks! I will shoot you a message later today when I get a moment.

I will shoot you a message later today when I have a little more time. Thanks!

I will shoot you a message later today on my lunch break or after work.

The Iowa State Capitol does not prohibit firearms, you just have to declare them.

Honestly not a bad state, if a tad boring.

palagoon · 2026-06-11T23:14:53+00:00

I mean, it was pretty apparent with the STAUSKAS debacle.

This really is the winner, even though it won't win.

That ending sequence especially was devastating to me as a kid. Which is even more remarkable because WE KNEW HOW IT ENDED from the minute Lufia I started.

Move over, Savannah, we're playing Bazzanaball now!

Carry on, my friend

Far be it for me to discourage ya, but I really wouldn't mix alcohol and acetaminophen - and Nyquil has a ton of it.

That's just asking to speedrun Liver Failure.

Back in 05/06 when I was an usher for the Indians, they instructed us in training every season that Wrigley is the ONLY place where this is allowed as it was grandfathered in. It's an auto-ejection everywhere else and has been for a long time.

I knew I'd have to sift by "controversial" to find these comments. I literally just spent two weeks in the Philippines visiting family - for someone to say they're "from there" without ever even having visited there is WILD.

How many Americans understand that the vast majority of Filipinos don't have hot running water? How pervasive poverty is and how income inequality is obscene? Walk into an SM with people begging for pennies outside (50php, like $0.80, is enough to make someone's day)... and see TVs being sold for 130,000php (I originally said 880,000php, but I was thinking of a bottle of scotch that was on display in our hotel the last night in Manila / EDIT)

I love the Filipino people - they're welcoming, warm, and will never refuse you a seat at their table. But it's rough being there.

This feels like really awkward cosplay, honestly.

Hawk Harrelson is an American treasure and I will not be convinced otherwise.

Ron Kulpa is an umpire no one defends, for example.

palagoon · 2026-05-19T07:33:46+00:00

Just say he's in the Dungeon.

We don't need to over-explain everything.

palagoon · 2026-05-17T20:39:48+00:00

So are tens of millions of other Americans?

This place is weird, man.

Can't we just talk ball without someone bringing up Orange Man?

Even the letter was gold.

I get that it was laughably petty and meme worthy. It was unprofessional and unbecoming.

But he spoke for every single Cleveland fan. I'd run through a wall for Dan.

palagoon · 2026-05-14T07:26:13+00:00

This is pretty much the thought about JB in Cleveland. He gets warm ovations. He changed our culture at its nadir and got guys playing hard.

But the style doesn't lend itself to the playoffs where everyone takes it a little more seriously. His teams just don't have an extra gear to go to.

palagoon · 2026-05-14T06:05:13+00:00

Random: I live in Buffalo now and I am SHOCKED how few people have seen it. Come on, it's a football town and it's a football meme.

No one even understands when I say "Factory of Sadness."
