I guess Southpark should also spoof how this story got put on the backburner when real issues like wife and child beating came up.
I'm firmly in the keep the name camp. I thought the South Park bit was funny.

It is OVER. No Yankees or Red Sox in the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. :2yay-thumb:
Easy tiger. The Yanks aren't officially out of the wildcard yet.
-
That's a good point. I am curious how that will play in.
The more I think about it, the less I'm concerned. At least in the near term. Snyder and Jones still have the 2012 collusion nuclear option. Change won't be directed by the league even if Goodell exits.
-
Well, I didn't think the team's name would change. But now I have doubts once Goodell is kicked to the curb.

Hilariousness abounds. ESPN's poll results are in, clearly they're not what ESPN wanted or expected.
First of all, the majority of the players are in favor of keeping the name: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11452022/nfl-nation-confidential-majority-players-support-washington-redskins-nickname
Most (71%) fans are, too http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/11451964/redskins-poll-most-favor-keeping-name-dissent-growing
But it looks like we're in a time where majority doesn't rule. Will be interesting to see what ESPN will do to ram-rod this thing home later on tonite at 8pm.
This show is frustrating. From Bob Ley using the term Indians casually to Chris Mortensen saying that Dan Snyder fought with the DC government and moved them to Maryland, I can't watch anymore. Someone let me know if I'm missing something.

Number of wins has increased each month. Can we get 21 in September?
-
But with significantly less games left to play. :thumbsup1:
And they say there is no clock in baseball.

Right where we were before the Cubs series.

They had an 11 game lead on Tampa for the WC slot.
You're not scared are you? I mean, we gots Kelly Johnson.

The O's have passed Oakland for the second best record in MLB.
Oakland's like Tom Petty, free falling.
-
On this date three years ago the Red Sox were in first place at 82-52, and didn't make the playoffs.
Luck is not a factor
Hope is not a strategy
Fear is not an option

True, but they only had a half game lead that day, not eight.
-
Another series win. Let's go for the sweep tomorrow.
-
Scoreless 10th for Johnson though he did walk 2 batters.
-
Arrieta with a 7IP 2H 0ER 2BB 9SO line today
2.61ERA with a 1.02WHIP after today.
So we'll see him over the weekend. Cool.
-
Oops, late night brain fart! I fixed it.
Anyway, what strikes me is that the team has done a great job of avoiding protracted losing streaks. Hopefully tonight we can preserve our streak of not having lost two games in a row for 39 straight games. We did break a streak of winning 7 straight series openers (8 if you count the solo Washington game) last night.
People will say we have no aces, but when you run out five solid starters all the time you minimize the losing streaks.

Okay. There goes the Yankees.

We don't face Kluber again do we? Not that I'm afraid of him or anything like that. It just would be nice to face someone else.Not sure who the Yankees have after this but glad to see them stopped. Even more glad to see Toronto starting to fade too. Be nice if Seattle would sweep em here. They owe me for beating the Orioles at the game I went to for Chris Davis Action Figure night.
I believe we will face Kluber. He pitched on Saturday. I don't think he'll pitch today in their double header as they've only played 1 game since his last start. I'd expect to see him Friday.
-
A win tonight and we are atleast 8 up in the loss column with just 43 to play. The teams have a bit of a break from the top teams the next series. We got a tiough break with the rain out in Cleveland last night as it pushes Kluber back to start on Friday.
I believe we were going to get Kluber anyway (bring him on!) He last pitched on Saturday making Thursday his natural start, but the have an off day on Thursday. Fortunately, the are supposed to play a doubleheader today. Hopefully the bullpen can burn out.

First place heading into August!
-
The number of games for Machado, while accurate, doesn't tell the whole story as he had no offseason nor spring training.

You should greet a group of Native Americans as "redskins" and see what they say. I'm sure they will all be cool with it since it's only white people making a fuss.
I haven't greeted a group of Native Americans as Redskins. But I did have a great, but short, conversation with a group of 8-10 Native Americans while wearing my Sean Taylor t-shirt at Red Rocks when we played Denver last season. It ended with a "Let's go Redskins" chant. I had a longer conversation with another Native American while tailgating. He's from New Mexico and seeing them in Denver and Arizona were his best opportunities to see them. He was much more emphatic about the generated controversy. Anecdotal? Sure, but these experiences shape my viewpoint.

Anti-Rants

My little girl is three, and she's behind in the fine motor skills development. But today, we played catch with a nerf basketball. It was the first time that she got the concept of "pitch and catch." Once she got the hang of it, and got her confidence up, she was great. I'm over the moon. Best snow day ever.

Fantastic work by Jair to give the pen some rest.
Injuries happen

Were Bougaerts and McCann 7 day concussions? Because I know Hardy was unavailable for more than 6 games but never landed on the DL. I'd argue that you could add Reimold and Santana to the count.
