The answer is the same as comparing (what should be) two first ballot Hall of Famers to canines.

Calcaterra post is tongue in cheek. It’s a silly post about a small spring training story. Not much more to it.

This has been going on for centuries. Great athletes have been compared of Dogs, Horses, Large Cats for a long long time, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone actually take offence till now. WOW

I mean I can understand if someone compares an athlete to a mutt, a sloth as being offensive, but a Greyhound? An athletic sleek animal that can motor chasing after Lucky rubs someone the wrong way? Sad

It’s February 14 th for gods sake. Most players won’t report for another week or two and we won’t see a meaningful games for 7 weeks. Now about those greyhounds……..

YOU! enough with your “facts”…. there is a narrative that is expected and we wont have you messing that up.

I’d call that overperforming.

If the playoffs are a nonstarter, the Crufts championship is still within reach.

The Yanks are like a bunch of high-priced show-dogs, with all bark and no bite. By the end of each season it’s the same story…NY spends truckloads of cash on dogs that aren’t of the performance breed….they’re only for show.
