When did The Onion start doing serious reporting?

He could really be making a difference on a good or mediocre team.

Announce TJ surgery, and 3 hours later he's 4-4 w/ 2HRs. Oh, and a walk for you Sabrs.

Maybe the trick is to keep announcing major surgeries for him as inspiration. "Ohtani is having surgery to remove a cancerous tumour on his brain tomorrow." Three grand slams!

Random but wonderful:
On March 13, 2009, Tavárez signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals and was invited to Spring training. When asked why he chose to sign with the Nationals, Tavárez acknowledged he had no other options: "Why did I sign with the Nationals? When you go to a club at 4 in the morning, and you're just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounder looks like J-Lo. And to me, this is Jennifer Lopez right here. It's 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. So, Nationals: Jennifer Lopez to me." In July 2009 he was designated for assignment by the Nationals, and eventually released.

Announcer fight!

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/ ... 210999002/
WDIV in Detroit is reporting that the physical altercation involved Allen choking Impemba from behind. Allen did this “because of a disagreement over a chair in the booth,” according to the report.
Viewers might not have noticed anything unusual during the game, but listening back to the broadcast, there are several long silences later in the game, including a 43-second stretch without talking in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Doesn't "mediocrely good" pretty much define the last decade-plus of Angels baseball to a T?

This weekend supported my belief that despite the better regular season record, the Red Sox should be considered underdogs if they play Houston at some point in the playoffs. Any of the five AL teams could make it all the way, certainly—there are no iffy or fluky teams making it in this year—but the Astros are still the standard.

26/32. Only one that I missed I might have eventually figured out.
