hahaha... I stand corrected.

Is there a joke there?

Except it wasn’t lodged. It’s hard for a ~3" diameter ball to be lodged under padding that’s 5" above the ground.

Made all the more surprising by the fact that he’s one of the two or three worst umpires in baseball.

God, I was at that fucking game. Everybody in the park was like “it’s sitting right fucking there.” The padding in Nats park is 5" above the ground and a baseball is <3" in diameter. Somehow though the fucking ump let it stand as a double. With the Cespedes video above, I’m convinced that is a career highlight for…

I see your “Roar Strand” and raise you Commander “Willie McCool.” He was one of the astronauts that died on the Columbia mission.

I just cop to it, with a little mis-truth to make it less un-professional. “I’m sorry, I was just responding to an email question someone sent, can you repeat the question.”

Right, because Bernie hires top staffers based on who he knows and trusts, and thinks can do the job; but Hillary, the person who knows she’s going to get attacked like no other doesn’t hire based on those principals, but rather based on image crafting.

Fucking newsflash, they’ve both been in politics for a long time,…

The socks, what the hell is the deal with the socks. My kids (4 and 6) aren’t terrible. They mostly pick up their toys, they clear their spots at the table without being asked, they don’t spend all day in front of screens, etc. But when they walk into the house they start shedding shoes and socks with no order…

I want to punch that fucking menu in the face. The prices are absolutely insane for what the offerings are. Jesus this place should go to hell.

I just had a fairly successful complaining moment with a bank (like really). We’re in the process of refinancing our house, and after we went through a bunch of the initial rounds of negotiating everything/deciding if we wanted it we decided to move forward. At that point the person helping us went on vacation and our…

I’m exactly the same way. I feel overwhelmed about all the projects I’m working on, don’t think there are enough hours in the day to deal with everything; and yet, here I am dicking around on Deadspin... again.

This... all of it.

This is obviously from last year, but it couldn’t apply more to you:

The funny thing about the kiss blowing incident was that the kiss was in retaliation to a pitcher who had been taunting at least him, and if memory serves, Harper’s whole team. But you’re totally right, as someone who is a fan and watches the Nats play every night Harper’s national media image is 180 degrees off from…

My wife and I went to one of these about a year ago, and now we only go to them. It’s so worth the extra money to have 1) reserved seats, and 2) lots of space... plus the table service for food and drinks is pretty fucking awesome.

This... I watched the Cruz speech last night and he’s fucking terrifying. Trump is batshit and panders like a mother-fucker; but Cruz is a true believer. Rubio is just as scary. As horrifying as it sounds, I think Trump might be the best alternative over there.

This is what I hope most Bernie supporters are saying. These are all perfectly valid reasons to support him; just as pragmatism is a perfectly valid reason to support Hillary. I’m a middle class white guy Hillary supporter, but the reasons you just listed are reasons I’m glad Bernie is in the race.

I think you’re right in that the disagreement is in the definition of crush. I don’t say this to denigrate you, but I don’t have a better way of describing the different meanings. I see you as giving crush the “middle school” definition. i.e. OMG, I’m so in love with Mandy Thompson; I want her to have all my babies.…

Talk about the topic of crushes with your significant other all you want, but only divulge specific details at your own risk. You love them and should be able to tell them anything, but that’s doesn’t mean telling them everything is good for either of you.
