Tea party TD celebration is elite.

Dodgers paid a steep price for Kopech and Edman, but sometimes you have to give up a talent of Miguel Vargas' level.

Twitter is where all the rational sports homies hang out. Drew Thorpe would have won the series.

Dude in my friend group is very much "I follow the popular sports star," type guy. Like, BIG Cleveland fan during Lebron's second stint (now an LA fan) and suddenly a huge Dodgers fan (this is the first year he has ever cared about baseball). We've got lifelong Mets fans in our chat and he goes "anyone going to Flushing to see Ohtani???" He's loaded and can afford it, but he's definitely pushing it with people.

Yeah, it's really, really hard to top Semien/Bassitt or Tatis.

Yes, obviously you have star money given to Lindor and Diaz. But Stearns inherited a s%*# ton of retained payroll going to Verlander, Scherzer, Narvaez and McCann.

Chris Getz, who is not a nerd and is a baseball man = Breaks the all-time loss record when not trying to tank (despite what he said at the end of the year). David Stearns, a Harvard grad who worked in several successful front offices = Reaches NLCS in a "we're not trying" year

How could a team with Tommy Pham and six hits lose???

This is a fair point.

This was part of the original announcement.

Everyone knows hits > runs

The Jacksonville Jaguars say their flight to London will be delayed because of Hurricane Milton Really feel like they could have planned around this better.

While the NBA doesn't expressly forbid teams from winning the lottery, the Pistons have been horrid and kept getting the #5 pick in a league where superstar picks matter much more than MLB. And it's also a league where you can't spend infinite money (many teams have to hire guys dedicated to navigating the cap) and doesn't have nearly as robust of a farm system.

He really, really needs/wants Thorpe to be viewed as a better pitcher than Cease.
