I saw that but decided to let you have the honors.

Yes, Pete Rose is still a piece of shit.

A piece of shit that should be in the HOF.

Terrible manager, but he'll be fired tomorrow.

As for the team, it was one hell of a run but it's finally time to rebuild.

 

[Cotton]

That's a shame.

It's weird watching the White Sox and seeing the starters go like 3 innings.

Like it doesn't feel like that long ago Mark Buehrle was rolling through complete games like a work horse.

Just for comparisons sake, in 1974 there were 1089 complete games. Last year there were 29. Nolan Ryan alone was only 3 shy of the entire 2025 season that same year (1974) with 26. Now it's all about protecting players' arms and platooning for matchups. It's ridiculous and I hate it.

Sorry, Geng. Now you can hate sports with me.

Thank GOD.

The Phillies issues go deeper than the manager but he wasn't helping.

The longtime rumor is they want Cora.

I agree, I just don't like it. I'm guessing there is some analytics involved as well that basically tell you that a pitcher is most effective in those first 2 innings. And so better to have 3-4 guys pitch a few innings than to have one guy pitch 7 or 8.
