Captain Charisma posted:I hate Jeter now as much as the next guy, but...really? They shouldn't hype it up because he's bad now? I can't even begin to count how many things are wrong with that statement. At the very least did you consider that most players are well into their decline by the time they get to 3000 hits? Biggio had been in decline for years (masked by his home park). George Brett had a .397 slugging percentage the year he hit 3000. I know but looking back in history there aren't many 3000 hit guys who were in their prime except for maybe Pete Rose and Ty Cobb so it is still a big deal. Especially for a True Yankee.

Captain Charisma posted:CC Sabathia just threw a complete game shutout. His last 4 starts: 31.2 IP, 22 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 42 K. That's so stupid. CC and Johan were like comparing apples and oranges at that point. It looks like he was just pissed that Johan turned down the Yankees, which is some sort of mortal sin.

Peter King has been going bonkers on twitter saying that John Beck is the answer for the Redskins for such reasons as: RT @gamecocksfhb: You can't be buying into the Beck nonsense from Shanahan ... Brady. Warner. Hasselbeck. Romo. You never know is all I say. RT @GonnaPhlyNow: None of those 30 when they became starters. John Beck will be ... None missed 3 NCAA seasons on Mormon mission. Beck did. RT @wynnde13: All those QBs succeeded w/a shot. What did Beck do in Miami? ... Lord. He started 4 games when Mia was 0-10. In came Chad. RT @JLevin28: Why is it not obvious to more people that the Redskins are tanking the season for Andrew Luck? ... Smoke reefer much? So because Beck played limited time for one of the worst teams ever, and missed several years of college to be a missionary, he is clearly in the same class as Brady, Warner, Hasselbeck and Romo.

Badfinger posted:Understood. And yet he has only the 4th highest OPS among CF this season. In a down year overall, it is a pretty good year for CF! Plus, while I would not be that surprised for Ellsbury to maintain this OPS, I'd also not be surprised to see Pujols' OPS continue to rise. Also Albert missed a good nugget of the season with an injury and RBI is a mostly meaningless stat anyway.

SI_PeterKing Peter King I guess Tim Tebow was Den's 4th-best QB when he led Broncs to 24-second-half pts and 24-23 win over Houston. I'm not sure if he's being serious or sarcastic, but who cares what Tebow does against guys who will be cut in the next two weeks?

I have relatives from Boston and they are absolutely insufferable about sports. Even though the Celtics have won a shitload of titles and the Patriots have been in 7 Super Bowls, they acted so downtrodden until the Red Sox "finally" won (and then again). Come to Cleveland and witness some real pain

I could write a book of just bad Cleveland media tweets: @TonyGrossi: Great QBs are great in the red zone. They lust for the end zone. FYI, Shurmur called 6 straight runs in the red zone.

Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer was demoted from Browns beat reporter, a position he'd held for 25+ years of lazy and uninspired writing. The reason? He accidentally tweeted that Browns owner Randy Lerner was "a pathetic figure...the most irrelevant billionaire." I finally agree with something Tony said, but that is a lovely way to lose your job. However, this is the same hack who headed the expedition to force Mangini out of town and then blindly make excuses for the continued failures under Holmgren, so good riddance.

They have zero to brag about and their wining is easily understood by a Cleveland fan like myself. My order of annoyance 1. Boston fans of any sport 2. Steelers fans 3. Yankees fans 4.

Cub fans by and large* are terrible and if the Cubs ever win the world series, it is possible that we will make Boston fans look sober and rational in celebration. Yeah maybe but they don't have any KISS DA RINGZ stuff to cram in your face like Boston or Steelers fans. It's been nearly 50 years since any Cleveland team won a title and when (if?) it happens in my lifetime I will be the most insufferably smug person on the planet.
