Recap
Big CatThe White Sox are an embarrassing organization run like a mom-and-pop shop
I think White Sox fans have a level of embarrassment because I think if your organization is having uniform issues and your star pitcher is cutting up uniforms because he doesn't want to wear them, that's embarrassing. It's called Jerry Reinsdorf runs organizations like a mom-and-pop shop, and incompetent people get pay raises and promotions, and no one ever gets fired.
Big CatChris Sale is a psycho
And also Chris Sale is kind of a psycho. Yeah. He's a little bit of a psycho. I think the biggest story out of all this is Chris Sale is kind of a psycho because it's not just the jerseys. It's that he also has a best friend that's 13.
PFT CommenterThe 'Mystery Team' in MLB trades is always just a fabrication by agents
The mystery team... could be anybody. It's a made-up team from the mouth of your agent just trying to work you up. The mystery team never gets their guy.
Mount Rushmore
HankJumping off a bridge into water is the best hangover cure
First one, jumping off a bridge. Like jumping off a bridge into water. You get an adrenaline rush, and then you get the water, and then once you're in the ocean, then you're unhungover.
Big CatWhite Gatorade is the best Gatorade flavor
Favorite Gatorade flavors. I'm going... The white flavor, number one. Are you kidding me? Love the white flavor. So the white one, I think you guys are sleeping on that.
Interview
Andre DawsonThe 2016 Cubs have all the key ingredients to win the World Series
I think that everything is in place right now for them to do very well. Without a doubt, they're going to be the team to beat. I think they have the key ingredients is how well and how they can handle that stage... hopefully this is the time.
Olympic Update
PFT CommenterThe 2016 Olympics Russians got away with systematic doping
The Russians got away scot-free. So the IOC said, OK, we know your whole country had systematic doping for the last 20 years, so we're just going to ban the track and field team... they banned the track and field team, but anybody else from Russia is allowed to compete. So there you go.
Hmm
Big CatKen Griffey Jr. likely used performance enhancers given his weight gain
1989 was his debut. He weighed 195 pounds. Late 90s, he was listed at 205. 2004, I dug it up. He was listed at 215. And then when he retired, he was listed at 230. So over the course of 20 years... he gained 35 pounds. Hmm. Just saying.
Lebron Blames
PFT CommenterLeBron James will sign his 2016 contract before another Hillary Clinton email is leaked
LeBron James will sign before another [Hillary Clinton] email gets released. [Obama] is gonna fire a nuke up a horse's butt so that Putin can't leak any more of Clinton's emails.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
PFT CommenterThe five-year Hall of Fame wait rule is good because it humbles players
I love the five-year rule because it gives players time to taste what it's like to be kind of irrelevant, put on a little bit of weight, and then they show up at their Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and they're humbled a little bit. They've gained a few pounds in the cheek, neck area, so they're more accessible to the fans.
