    NFL Playoffs; How would you like it to shake out?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm hoping for the prospect of a Cleveland-Baltimore AFC Championship. Don't really care how the rest shakes out, to be honest.

    Jrue the Damaja

    Let’s talk about the Celtics’ other big acquisition this off-season, someone who they quite frankly lucked into and may be just as impactful. One thing that strikes me about Holiday is that the ball never seems to get stuck when he’s in, it’s always moving around. Even when he makes a decision...

    Travel team questions

    My son (age 7) picked up soccer in a big way this year. He had been doing clinics on and off the previous few years but hadn’t started playing on a team until this spring. He had a good season and wanted to keep going. On a lark, he tried out for a local travel team. I sincerely didn’t think he...

    Old guys playing in different eras

    It's the offseason now, and with two of the best players on the market out of commission it's going to be a weird and somewhat disappointing one. So let's have some fun with a discussion that has been popping up in various threads. Take a crack at the following questions and try to be...

    Why the game is better today

    ... because it is more efficient. The trendlines are almost uncanny:

    2018-19 Offseason Thread

    So completely satisfying to start this thread at the end of October, and not a moment earlier. Upcoming free agents: Kimbrel Pearce Kinsler Pomeranz Eovaldi Kelly

    Eric Bledsoe traded to Milwaukee

    For Greg Monroe and two protected 2018 draft picks (1st and 2nd rounders). Certainly makes the Bucks more dangerous. Good deal for the Suns considering that they lost a lot of their leverage.

    Let's get crazy (risky acquisitions and offseason plans)

    While we're in the early stages of the Red Sox's offseason, there seems to be a lot of discussion about a few conventional offseason plans for the Red Sox going forward. Most of this focuses on signing J.D. Martinez and of course the ongoing managerial search. To stimulate discussion, I was...

    Smart's Value

    What's fascinating is that we're having a discussion as to whether Smart gets $12M or $17M AAV in his RFA contract when twenty years ago, Smart's precursors (guys like Bruce Bowen and Doug Christie come to mind) were bouncing around the league on low-dollar contracts until they found the right...

    Who's on Third? I don't know

    Third base (surprise!) is a problem for the Sox again. Pablo Sandoval is coming back, reportedly hitting off a tee as of yesterday. Marco Hernandez, his primary replacement, has been hitting a BABIP-inflated .276/.300/.328 and there's no indication that he has the hit tool to stick as a...

    Baserunning woes

    April's now in the books and the Sox are coming off a pretty rough stretch offensively. This is despite torrid performances from Vazquez (in limited plate appearances) and Benintendi. A few players are struggling out the gate (Bradley, Pedroia, Leon) but the team's run production (93 runs...

    NBA trade season

    Let's kick things off with this article from the Ringer. O'Connor proceeds to list what he considers three interesting trade candidates: Blake Griffin, Andrew Bogut, and Rajon Rondo. I would argue that list actually contains one interesting trade candidate in the form of Blake Griffin: He...
