I've seen 3 different TV commercials for that ass, not a single spokesperson he's used is white.

Coincidence?

No.

The commercial says “Scurred and Confoosed” who the fuck you think he is advertising too?

Thank you, TPD, for being lazy assholes. Why no, Detective, I wasn’t kidding when I called about gunshots.

Now I have five patrol cars, two unmarked, and a crime scene tech, all with lights going off, right outside my window.

Did Justin Ruggiano get a really really deep tan during the offseason and start appearing in LF while I wasn't looking?

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if he's not going all out because he's afraid of hurting his knees.

He's still at a +1 UZR this year.

Way down from last year, but it’s early and that could change. He’s been merely mortal so far.

That is most certainly not CC-esque

This is a really bad start, the only thing he seems to be doing is walking, and he’s only been doing that the past few games.

And another!

Also, where’s Balfour’s velocity normally sits? Gameday has him at around 92-93 with an occasional 94.

He's usually +1MPH or so

I’d say it’s within margin of error.

Hmm...that pitch looked suspect

Fastball dead over the middle of the plate, up a bit. I feel like that’s asking for trouble, but he’d set him up with a million changes at least.
