the idiot that posted that caption is clearly a cubs fan and should be insta-fired as should the entire HR department for such terrible employee screening.

This offseason sucks. Even when something happens, it doesn't really happen.

CSE Talent announced Wednesday that it had fired agent Jason Wood, who led its baseball division, for not upholding the company's "moral and ethical standards."

Wood was suspended by the Major League Baseball Players Association, which is investigating allegations that he secretly filmed clients who were using his shower, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Don't fall for the old "why don't you use my shower" trick.

Yeah ESPN is dog****...unless I have no choice.

For me my basic lookup tools/sites Baseball Reference for core stuff, Baseball Savant for Statcast, Fangraphs, and my new favorite from this past year:

Why are we looking up Phelps? Was he caught in the shower too?
