I think the underlying question there is "who is pitching, and how much are they getting paid?". As a fan, I don't care about individual contracts per se - only that they don't impact the ability of the team to be strong across the board.

Amen to this. I just loved, loved watching those teams, with Jason Williams (white chocolate!), C-Webb and Stojakovic. The passing was unbelievable.

Coming to pay my respects. Mike F is one of those posters who made the SOSH experience so unique to me. His spring reports were just a joy to read, as good a sign as blooming flowers that spring was in the air. I did not know him, but I know I will miss him.

Hardly fortuitous. Fournier is from the Val de Marne suburb of Paris. It's commonly known (in France, that is) as the "94", the two first digits of its zip code.

Besides the catches and the hot streaks, those walks against CC are among my best memories of JBJ. Count full, some of those pitches were soooo crazily close, to this day I'm shocked he didn't offer. At his best, the kid had a serious batting eye. Godspeed indeed.

Matip reminds me of Arsenal's Abou Diaby. Would spend more time at the infirmary than playing - and would play just enough to tease you before getting injured again. Infuriating - though for the player too, I'm sure.

Sounds like the theme of the off-season. I understand fans must be patient, but coming after last year's abomination, the drip-drip of incoming mediocrity has been tough.

I only watched it for Soccer and F1. Every other time, it seemed like they only had some vintage car auction on. With Soccer shifting to Peacock, there didn't seem to be much left there.

This. I love Pippen and I also thought he was actually portrayed fairly well. Early in the series, Jordan himself says you can't say Jordan without saying Pippen. I mean, if this isn't the highest praise, I don't know what is. The documentary even suggested that the triangle offense worked...

Yeah, I can attest to this. I spent part of my childhood somewhere in the African countryside. Virtually everybody knew Michael Jackson. Nobody knew Jordan (and I'm a big Jordan fan).

The entire thing is a little strange. And what to make of MLB selectively ruling some people out? Like (as has been suggested) telling the Sox that it was ok to proceed with Roenicke, or telling the Dodgers that there was nothing to worry about Mookie? How do you (apparently) absolve some...

You want another "(THE) Decision"?

Agreed. I was surprised he was that emotional. Can't imagine it's been easy for the guys on this show in particular to be associated with WEEI over the past year. It's like working at a porn shop. With all due respect to porn shops..

Boy, the end of this game is excellent.

Not a MU fan, but I'm pretty annoyed at how Mourinho is using Pogba. You can't get a player like that and ask him to sit back.

Yeah, I don't get that criticism. Mike Hill is over there. Buster Olney has had some kind of weird bias against Jeter-the-owner recently, after years of ball-washing Jeter-the-shortstop-who-could-do-no-wrong.

I keep seeing this, and I don't quite get the reasoning. I mean, none of us has seen the books here. Loria gave a contract + No trade to Stanton that is near universally understood to be terrible for a team in a market of that size, let alone the implications for building a team that is...

To which the Emir of Qatar says - "What, that's it? No problem".

Boy, this is so true. Just about the only time I look for FS1 is when they have a Champions league game on. I get irritated fiddling with the remote like "where the hell is that channel again.."

This is a popular take, but I don't know about that. It does take a little bit of skill, I think, to spout ridiculous takes in an effective, somewhat entertaining way. SAS, love him or hate him, seems to be pretty good at it. I mean Shannon Sharpe and Skip are trying hard, but they can't even...
