It should be noted that my university's journalism department, during my sophomore year (a handful of years ago), started offering more digital journalism and mass media courses than actual article writing and investigative reporting courses.

Not a big sports personality, but I used to work for a media relations department at a MAC school, and I had a girlfriend that got a position working for the school's football team as a student athletic trainer. She looked exactly as you'd imagine a female trainer looks: blonde and attractive. In fact, I am fairly…

Did you recently get an upgrade to a name with a space in it?

I appreciate Tom's willingness to leave the obvious "dick flop" jokes for the commenters.

You guys ever contemplated hiring a popular sports writer? I know that sounds sarcastic, but I am actually curious. Does Gawker media generally stay away from established players and instead try to breed its own bloggers?

How I hate Kinja.

Why not just get soy? Where does the madness end?

Sounds to me like you can just get the ground beef.

To be fair, you think unbuttered bread is utterly loathsome, too.

Not enough leprechauns on acid.

IF WOMEN WANT EQUALITY MAYBE MEN SHOULDN'T BE MORE HEAVILY PUNISHED FOR HITTING THEM THAN THEY ARE FOR HITTING OTHER MEN

No snark: What does the guy mean when he says, "Yeah, there's a lot of trash last year. But half of it was on them, half of it was on us"?

There's a difference between a look and a staredown and smirk after almost hitting a player on consecutive pitches right in the head. There's also such a thing as palpable tension. And it existed, and Chapman was the instigator of the whole thing. That's the childish part.

How you can explain it as Rizzo not controlling his emotions when Chapman's the one who initiated the whole thing by not ignoring the dugout? Seems by your own logic that it's Chapman who is the little kid.

You forgot to mention that Frazier was brushed back after Bailey had already hit two Cubs batters.

Jesus. No. Chapman was being a dick, so players took exception. When you're being a dick after a player's teammates want to make sure you don't murder him with a pitch to the head, that's not even unwritten rules. Chapman initiated everything, starting with a staredown and smirk at the Cubs dugout after striking out…

The screaming from Rizzo really started after Chapman, upon striking out Schierholtz, stared down the Cubs dugout, then smirked. That's what got Rizzo's attention to begin with. I hate the "unwritten rules" thing, but that's just being a dick after a team started paying attention once you almost decapitated their…

Maybe someone can lay off throwing 103 mph and instead throw 97 with control, instead of whipping balls near heads.

As a sidenote, the Cubs yelled after the strikeout because Chapman looked over at the dugout and stared Rizzo down, then smirked.

Let's not note their races, since it is completely socially constructed, used to push forth racial superiority and has nothing to do with physical abilities.
