The Mets had the best closer in baseball.  Gave him a 5-year, $102 million contract.  Immediately missed the next season due to a fluke WBC celebration injury.  And now he’s back to 2019 Edwin Diaz who was one of the worst closers in baseball.  No control, hanging sliders, 5.50 ERA and blowing a 4-run lead to the Marlins.

Hopefully the lesson is learned now to never, ever pay relievers a big contract.

This is so bleak.  There are zero positive takeaways for this group and if they don’t blow it up I might finally drop my fandom for good.

Better than the gas can that is David Bednar.

KYREN!!!

I'd like to see Kyren Wilson pull through and win the big one but not if it's at the expense of Ronnie.

Can't misses can miss. I hope he works it out and makes it back for good this season. Baltimore deserves a good run.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the latest person to cosy up to the Saudi government, saying that he wants the World Championships to be held there. Any tournament he doesn't win is a good one in my eyes.

Do you oppose the Championships becoming a touring event? Works great for the Mosconi Cup.

I'm sure there is a snooker thread, but is there a thread for other cue sports?

I didn't think this was the kind of place to talk about those sites.

Replace all pitchers with robots that are programmed to throw every type of pitch, who never miss the strike zone. Saves pitcher arms, speeds up the game, brings in robots. How could we go wrong?

Liner back to the mound, breaks robot, unlocks MULTIBALL!

Personally, I'm leaning towards #5. 

Note: don't dig through the replies unless you want hot takes about how Greg Maddux would be hot garbage in today's game.

Chase Young isn't New Orleans' most significant signing today.

Always a good thing when “HOLY OVERPAY” is trending on Twitter within minutes of a signing being announced.

If they had just paid AJ Brown.

Steve Smith Sr. is laughing himself to tears right now. I hate this team so much.

I do agree that it's a shame the F2 Champion has something of a bottleneck after winning it, but there's literally no point staying in F2 once you've won it. There are so few race seats into Formula 1 that you have to basically come off as a can't-miss prospect or else have lots of sponsor money to appeal to a backmarker, like Sargeant and Mazepin did, otherwise you're out of luck.

Why not Indycar? With them getting further away from ovals, it seems like a viable option.

Would Death Race 2000 count?
