This is absolutely true. And if you don’t care about doing things that make it harder for your team to win playoff games, I advise getting tickets near the railing during home games. What could be better than getting close to the action so that you can compete with the players on your favorite team for the privilege…

So it’s okay for fans to blame managers, rather than players, for losing games but it isn’t okay for journalists to criticize fans for reaching four foul balls IN THEIR OWN STADIUM? Got it.

Not liking a stupid nickname and making that widely known? Totally how it works. Picking your own nickname? Totally not how it works. Why not compromise and give him a new nickname but not any of the ones he wants?

Can’t read, according to whom?

Hearing Michigan’s band randomly break into “The Victors” as the Spartans were celebrating was pretty great too!

That’s pretty self-deprecating, wouldn’t you say?

I agree and I would take this one step further: Someone who doesn’t know any better could walk up to a millionaire teenager, say ‘You have to eat better!’ before stocking their fridge, and leaving... Wouldn’t the longer-term investment be to hire the guy a chef/cooking instructor who can teach him how to make stuff…

This. And pretending Hillary Clinton knows anything about it is equally hilarious. I haven’t been listening to her stump speech in this cycle but in 2008, every single time she directed anyone to her website to volunteer or donate she said “Double-ewe, double-ewe, double-ewe DOT Hillary Clinton DOT CAAAAAAHHHHHM.” I’d…

If something tops “By the way, I pissed in your body oil.” today, I’m logging off and going outside.

Oh, NOW you wanna talk nuance and metrics, eh? It’s Friday and I’ve been put in the uncomfortable position of defending A-Rod. No thanks. I’ll tap. I’d rather focus on players and teams that are still in it from here on out. Let’s agree to disagree.

You’re a 2%er physical specimen in a hostile environment. An individual with clearly hostile intentions in a space in which he doesn’t belong is moving toward you at high speed. And all this happens AFTER multiple teammates went into the stands to fight the opposing team’s fans. How do you think you would’ve handled…

If it wasn’t surprising and was almost inevitable, when was the other time it came even remotely close to happening?

It was surreal, sure, but you’re overcooking it by calling it a virtual riot. It was closer to a televised bar fight than a virtual riot. What made it surreal was that it happened in a stadium and involved players going into the stands rather than fans coming onto the court (though that also happened). This isn’t the…

I don’t think I said anything about Lebron. I KNOW I didn’t say anything about you hitting a jump shot. So, ANYWAY...

Your expectations of one of the greatest hitters of all time aside, there’s a reason why baseball players are judged, over time, by their batting average. You played college ball so you’re smart and I’m…

That’s a really compelling response. Seriously. And I’ll bet it was really easy to type knowing you had the option to get up, go to the bathroom, grab some water, check Facebook, re-read it, waver on sending it, hover over the publish button for a second, etc. Probably slightly easier than hitting an 87 MPH fastball.…

Will anyone wake us when Dwight Howard shows some of the moves he’s been learning from Olajuwon? Or Kevin McHale?

I just checked the roster and no such delightfully delightful, stupendously wondrous player exists...

I can’t think of a set of words that inspire less confidence than “the NFL will investigate...”

“You do what other teams do, put the first initial before the name—two initials if need be.”

Would you like to start over so that you have a chance to keep track of the arguments you’re making or should we just agree to disagree? I’ll try to help you catch up:

You said you thought it was “stupid” to put Jr. or III on a…

The weather is pretty nice here in the DMV today and I’m tempted to get a canoe and head toward this river everybody is crying for Bryce Harper today. Papelbon popped off at Harper. Harper clapped back at Papelbon. They both went into “primate threat behavior” and a brief fight ensued before they were both separated.…
