There wouldn’t be a Mariano Rivera without Eck.

I think you’re sidestepping the point, which isn’t that Eckersley had a qualitatively greater accomplishment or that the usage was smarter back then, but rather that it was rougher to be a starting pitcher then than now and that Price should perhaps back off when bawling about how tough things are for modern players.

Sure, Eckersley doesn’t know how rough it is on pitchers today. David Price has completed 16 of his 259 career starts, and Eckersley completed 17.

You guys have written no less than 10 articles about the fight since its conception, including multiple takes on each press conference this week.

Of course you are, this is Deadspin.

In America, we use words like “grit” to describe players who are willing to get dirty and like “captain” for those who will do anything for their teammates.

The American way.

Hey, serious question, what do you call a bunch of people taking a day off to see a parade cheering a guy chanting “no days off!”? Is that irony, or something else?

This was easily one of the best Superbowls ever, with quite a backstory, and you write this. An article that seems like it physically pained you to write it.

I showed up here today just to get my fill of the sweet, sweet Magary tears. Delicious.

Hi, I read a lot of Deadspin stuff. I’ve had to endure a lot of sour puss New York trash people complain about Boston, the Patriots (and plenty of other people and things). I don’t really care, because most of it is funny and in good jest. But god damn I love the hate seething from your trash pile of a city and…

Pats “got caught cheating” the same way Hillary “got caught” murdering diplomats in Benghazi. That’s why we call it Ballghazi.

So, if one person asked you, you were going to start shooting? Because chowder doesn’t really come in a bucket, and nobody from NE would ever eat shitty Houston chowder.

Even their booing of Goodell is tainted. Everyone else hates him because of bullshit like punishing weed worse than domestic violence, covering up CTE, or arbitrary bullshit like punishing players for celebrating or wearing the wrong shoes.

Go fuck myself? *Jerks off to the Superbowl highlights* drew, shoulda thought that through more!

Out of curiosity, what is it about concern with emotion policing and being an immature little turd that you find incompatible?

I never said it was a sacrifice. Stop emotion policing, Jesus Christ.

The “holding your nose” part comes from the knowledge that the person you’re voting for does things like take victory laps after facilitating Saudi arms deals that enables war crimes in Yemen and the mass slaughter of innocent civilians. Yeah, it’s a nose holding affair and fuck any single person who gives me shit for…

Oh, get fucked. It’s not enough that people who have profound actual disagreements with Clinton’s program have agreed to suck it up and vote for her? You need them to feel great about it, too? “The bare minimum” any voter can do to prevent Donald Trump’s sexism and racism from coming into power is to vote for Donald…
