bawfuls posted:lol they traded away a generational talent and drove the team into the gutter just to save the billionaire owner a little money It's not like they've given away a generational talent for money before I'll have to check on that though in case I'm remembering wrong e: regarding luxury tax, they should make the tax go to the rest of the players in the league split evenly  Instead of just putting it on the other owners' pockets

Big Mean Jerk posted:Is the new chud thing to respond to tweets about covid deaths with “ok now tell me what preexisting conditions he had”? Because even for them that’s pretty loving horrid. Yeah that's the new denialism. Anyone who gets covid and dies isn't actually killed by covid if they've ever had the sniffles before e: vvv I see a lot of "oh they were immunocrompromised so they were susceptible to anything, covid isn't that big a deal" kind of stuff too Intruder fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Sep 1, 2020 |

Given that the threat was made overtly in comparison to the possibility Chapman just hosed up, start the Rays but not the Yankees with a warning every time they meet for the rest of the season

There was one dude they said would glare at them and told them to gently caress off with that poo poo That's what was claimed, also when the one dude counted up the bangs throughout the season Altuve had less than 10.

The Astros just got swept in four games by the Angels including giving up 9 runs in a game where Trout didn't play, ruining the Angels draft position but still maintain a 97% chance of making the playoffs because this season is weird and dumb

I don't think deGrom gets elected if he retires today but his bWAR is nearly double Lincecum's, it's not really much of a comparison 69-50 record isn't going to help him though unless the old guard of voters has moved on by then
