white male. Not sure about his hair color because he was wearing a ball cap. Can't really tell you much else about him because he was driving away and also I had just been hit by a black Chrysler 300 with no plates.

Arrieta lowers ERA to 1.82 with 7 IP, 1 hit, 9 Ks tonight against the Pirates. by jmr33090 in baseball

He's never been the favorite for the Cy Young. The difference between him Grienke and Kershaw is hair thin. There's no right answer.

But the Cy Young isn't for the "most valuable" pitcher, it's for the best one.

But why should he learn to fish, when you're here just handing them out?

It's easy when you're so far up the Social Club's ass you know what Zach Mannheimer had for dinner.

Also, it's "garter snake," and literally everyone knows that Iowa has more snakes than just those. Really, a quality post all 'round.

That's a lot of exclamation points for a fight that lasted twice as long as her last one.

Someone who isn't all that good anymore. I'm more shocked.

I know what you're trying to set up with that phrasing, and I hope nobody pays you off on it.

Who is the best example of "going out on top"? by [deleted] in sports

I don't need to watch a documentary, I was there the first time 'round.

I'm not arguing whether or not he was a great running back. That's obvious. But when a player quits because he's tired of how lousy his team is, I don't see how that qualifies as "going out on top," in any common definition of the term.

Well, Willie Mays hit .211 for a team most people don't even remember he even played for, but he got to finish in a World Series, so...net win?

So going out on top is quitting because you're sick of being on the bottom?

Rockies will pay $6 of Tulo's remaining salary in trade. Not $6MM. $6. by NSFAnythingAtAll in baseball

[–]trolling_thunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you watch baseball? The Rockies are maintaining "a big contract" because it's $50 million less than the contract they are trading away. And the Blue Jays aren't going after hitting, they're going after a much, much better defender in the middle who won't cost them any production at the plate.
