"wearing" an American flag is incredibly disrespectful.

No lie, David — best story about Tony Gwynn I've read over the past day and a half. Everyone seems to want to convey the same message to us; everything you think you believe about Tony Gwynn is true. I'm grateful to be able to see the man through your 16 year old eyes, and I'm glad Deadspin took the time to publish…

... AND another 25 young men from Arkansas have all of the rationalization they need for beating their kids and wives someday.

"shrieking dick," FTW.

Same. Same. I've never laughed so hysterically, with absolutely no idea what I'm laughing at in my life.

"Luck is really just a word for causal determinism on a level too micro for us to measure."

It's the kind of meltdown necessary to bring some long-overdue scrutiny and accountability to FIFA.

Athens Olympics?

Yeah, the damned PC police ruined things for the actual police when the former insisted that the latter stop setting their dogs and firehoses on the blacks. We're such pussies.

Colvin should've taken a page out of Don Drysdale's book and asked, "hey, kid; you want me to sign that bruise?"

did Affirmed run against horses at the Belmont that hadn't run at Churchill Downs that year?

Also, fuck you Deadspin, for suggesting that the remedy for this situation is paying non-student athletes instead of getting non-student athletes out of colleges and universities and de-professionalizing college football and basketball.

I'm sure it's completely different at Kentucky, Syracuse and UCONN.

How the fuck is it 2014 and Vin Scully is still offering up honorifics on players who just today passed away and played with the Dodgers in Brooklyn. I'm simply amazed that we're still so blessed to have Scully breaking it down the way he does — especially while a guy named Van Slyke is at the plate. Andy Van Slyke…

Agreed. Penalizing the defense for failing to defend the plate properly (field the pitch) is the essence of the game.

seriously?

Fake ID?

When a hyper-privileged 22 year old in an $80,000 car is whining about how tough his life is — to the point of multiple, random murders — I really begin to think that it's time to tear down the Republic and begin all over again. Everything I know that's wrong with this generation and the one before it (mine) stems…

I think it's got something to do with the pace of the game and the fact that there's so much MLB on every single day of the season.

The hand-gestures are so primal.
