I so love Earl Weaver. Not many managers were worth the price of admission, but he's at the top of the list.
Agreed
I wish he and Billy Martin would have guest starred on a buddy cop show back then.

Reminds me of when Bill Russell played the bad guy on Miami Vice.

A little bit of Inder's childhood takes a dump on itself.

2005/6 was a terrible time to be a Cubs fan.

Nomar's injury was uncomfortable watch and terrifying to consider.

Heh, this is some neat statistical weirdness. Juan Soto hit the game-winning homer of a suspended game that began before his debut. That is, he sorta won a game played before he made the majors.

I love stuff like this.

In the NHL a few years ago, Nathan Horton scored a goal in a game he didn't play in — it was rescheduled and picked up from whatever the score was when play was suspended. He scored in the cancelled game and was injured/sat out the make-up game.

Hunter Strickland is an asshole.

https://deadspin.com/the-giants-stuck-u ... 1826981482

Mark Melancon is also a huge moron:
In the first pitch of Brinson’s ninth inning at-bat, Strickland threw a 94.6 MPH fastball up and in, nearly hitting Brinson. Three pitches later, the Marlins rookie scorched a single to right field, scoring the tying run, and advancing Cameron Maybin to third base. As Brinson trotted up the line, he flung his bat toward the Marlins dugout, which apparently did not sit well with Strickland.

Later that inning, Giants reliever Tony Watson replaced Strickland. As he sauntered to the dugout, Strickland and Brinson exchanged words.

Giants reliever Mark Melancon joined KNBR’s Tolbert & Lund Tuesday afternoon and explained what he saw in the Brinson-Strickland encounter.

“My perspective was that he was disrespecting the game,” Melancon said. “I am all for being excited and being happy you got a base hit there. There’s nothing wrong with that, but holding the bat out too long, and flipping the bat, and rounding first and continuing to jaw. To me, it looked like he was looking right at Strickland. That’s just showing a guy up. It’s not needed. Be happy, celebrate with the team, do it right, but don’t rub it in anybody’s face. It’s not the right way to go about it.”
