Holy fuck. LOLLLL.

Fuck, I guess they were sniffing around the goal all match so far. Hate CR7, but that dude can still play.

Really weird turn of events there. Both the offsides and the penalty were debatable, but the result canceled out anyways. Don’t stop the music, lads. Keep the throttle down.

Right?!? Dude couldn’t even land the goal celebration properly, but he was obviously in the right spot at the right time… largely thanks to United’s shit defending.

Eat shit, ManUre. Quite the start.

Apparently they offered Xander 4/$90mil. Not a complete lowball, but still well below market value, especially for a “SS” in today’s game. He’s guaranteed to walk after this year (Boras client, after all), but hopefully he has one more good contract year under his belt.

Hey, they won a game! We can build off this.

Remember when we were optimistic and almost-assured to make the Champions League? Quite the week it’s been.

Raffy is good. Especially off Gerrit Cole.

Let the doubters doubt again. Last year was surprisingly decent… let’s see what’s in STORY again this season. Still have Xander, even though he’s a below-average fielder at SS. JDM is still with the team as well, even if he’s declining fast. Raffy Devers was offered an extension, but apparently he and the team are far apart on valuation. Chris Sale is hurt. Again. 60-Day IL to start the year. Pitching will obviously be another huge question mark. Nate, Pivetta, Tanner Houck, Michael Wacha, and Rich Hill isn’t exactly an ideal rotation, but Garrett Whitlock being an anchor in the bullpen shows some promise. But hey, they finally did something in the off-season. Trevor Story is good. Hopefully he can hit at Fenway like he did at Coors. (Don’t mind his road numbers…) Opening Day vs the fucking Yanks is already postponed, the Jays are a popular pick to win the AL pennant, and the Rays are always gonna be the Rays. But at least they play the Orioles 19 times this year… Go Sox.

Man, can’t get past ‘Pool to save their life. Fuck… get one back here to make it interesting. (Watching from a random bar on the beach in Negril, Jamaica. Heavy Arsenal support here.)

Bump. Anyone still into this band? Anyone else going to any shows this summer?

No... couldn't make it work this time around. (Got refunded for the tickets, FWIW.) I'm in education, so that winter break fixture would've been ideal -- not so much on a Thursday in February. Maybe it was for the best? Hope not... get a fackin' equalizer here.

Even for a Yankees fan… that’s quite the “hot” take.

Again, the two statements do not preclude each other. It’s important to get the best players in history - which Clemens and Bonds surely are among - elected, but I can still be happy for Ortiz, whether it was the first or tenth ballot. That’s just me. But if this pisses you off so much, maybe direct some of that anger at the writers who are hypocrites (the many who voted for Ortiz and not the other two), rather than hating on the player who got in. Just a thought.

I agree that Bonds and Clemens should be in as well, but MLB said that the alleged test in the NYT story was “inconclusive,” as it didn’t differentiate between illegal and legal over-the-counter vitamins and supplements. Ortiz went on to rake for another seven seasons after ‘09. That’s gotta count for something. It’s bullshit that Bonds and Clemens didn’t get in after 10 attempts. I’m also happy that Ortiz got in on the first ballot. The two statements are not mutually exclusive.

Damn… but at least they got one right. Congrats, Big Papi.

Damn. Probably a good thing, considering we have no midfield. Fuck Sp*rs anyways.

Damn, I should’ve tried that!

I wrote a nicely-worded email to see my options. The $ (or £) doesn’t matter, I just want the tickets to find a home if I/we aren’t able to attend.

Yep! Oh well… no word on the reschedule date, obviously. If it’s somehow rescheduled to March or April, I might be able to make it happen (somehow).
