As someone who has actually read the CBA, it is deeply frustrating to watch other media members opine about how to make baseball more “fair” for “small markets.”

The big market teams literally fund the small market ones, it’s all right there in a public document! Just read it!

#TheOdyssey translator Emily Wilson slams Christopher Nolan's movie over "abysmal" writing: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.”

“Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or bout the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.” (via London Review of Books/The Guardian).

Emily Wilson is certainly entitled to criticism of The Odyssey.

But that quote is pretty laughable to me. You can say a lot of things but the idea that it has nothing to say about war and coming home is seriously comical.

Giants should sign him… this would be a great signing for them!!!
