No, I agree completely with you. It wasn’t meant as a criticism at the work anyone put in at Deadspin. It was just a dry joke in regards to these challenging times.

“reporters making assertions on which they base confident explanations of how things work without having looked into them or knowing what they’re talking about”

On the one hand it’s a frivolous story; on the other hand, reporters making assertions on which they base confident explanations of how things work without having looked into them or knowing what they’re talking about is both inherently bad and probably part of why we have a racist pro-wrestling heel with a non-zero…

aight that’s 15,934 “stick to sports”es and 1 “stick to politics.” long way to go but keep at it bud

I can’t believe this is the shit we argue about in 2016 and that Donald Trump could be our president next week. What the hell happened?

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM!!!

Yeah, he wears the fishing hat the first time he goes out to play, but it’s replaced by a Cubs cap in at least some of the later scenes.

I may have to take another look. But I don’t think he was a fan of any team. The lovable loser hat he owned was that ridiculous long-billed thing with the fish on it.

Re: “The Sandlot.” Isn’t the kid (Smalls) someone who knows nothing about baseball before he meets the neighborhood kids? Doesn’t he end up as an announcer for the Dodgers? Where do the Cubs feature in that movie? Maybe I just forgot.

Tito should have cemented it with the revenge series against the Red Sox.

Theo was already in. This just cements it.

I think a lot of people got their ticket to Cooperstown punched this series. Theo, Joe, and Tito

Knoblauch used to flash that same smile throwing to first, knowing he was making some lucky fan’s day with a free souvenir.

I think the rule is, fans get until the parade and then it’s open season on those assholes.

Does victory put Theo in the Hall of Fame? Does getting here put Tito there?

This one time, there was a huge possum sitting on my backyard fence, and I side-armed a tennis ball right at it and knocked it off. Pretty sure I had that same goofy grin on my face. That was my World Series.

C’mon man, that’s not fair. Sox fans can’t write.

Heh, I remember taking the T to Fenway for Yankees-Sox in April 2002 and running into a bunch of FDNY guys up for the series.

On the bright side, they missed out on this election too

Thank you for posting this. As soon as I stop crying for the 75th time I’m getting on the Addison bus with a box full of chalk. I have quite a few names to add to that wall.
