I do think it has a place in the arsenal, albeit in a very limited capacity (not what it was intended for anyway) as a close air support, ground bombing/targeting aircraft rather than a dogfighter. If you look at the operational history of say...a P-47 in WWII - it was designed to be bigger and faster than any…

Give this man a blog on Gawker. Damned fine work, sir.

So - since Selig did away with league presidents, could the commish Manfred rule that because he leaned into the pitch without making a reasonable effort to get out of the way that indeed he should have been called “out” and thus keep the perfect game in tact, Mr. Burke?

I really hope that ump has trouble sleeping tonight - it’s Galarraga all over again. Piss poor call by the umpire. Tabata should have been called out. Heartbreaking.

Thanks for this...When I was a kid, I loved Michelob (my dad still orders it when we go out to eat) we’d get little mini-bottles of Michelob and watch baseball on our console t.v. We thought we were such hot shit...ha! I am not a fan of 3.2 beers, by and large (where they get all the horses to piss in the bottles is…

I don’t disagree with your thinking (and I’m a Royals fan who has argued with friends that cutting Omar out and putting Colon (or fucking anyone else with a .250> average) would be a net plus for my boys.) Since last year I’ve been saying it. Seriously.

McClain to the dump truck driver - “Who was the 23rd President?” Driver: Chester A. Arthur.

Thank you SO much for writing this piece. Garfield is one of my favorite history subjects and one that I can literally talk for hours on. I used to give Segway tours in DC and he was one of my favorite to talk about because honestly? They swept his memory under the rug. They built memorials to Lincoln, but Garfield’s…

Ah, thank you for posting this in it’s entirety...I referenced it in a comment above and now here it is. Initially he requested the U.S. Army band to accompany him while he sang...the request denied.

I know your point is tongue-in-cheek, but what really happened was that Guiteau started asking Garfield’s successor (Chester A. Arthur, if you’ll remember your Die Hard movies) for the same job that Garfield had denied him (American Ambassador to France), saying that essentially, the job was owed to him by Arthur…

One of my all time favorite books. I used to give Segway tours in DC, and my “Assassination” tour was one of my all time favorites to do. No one knows any of that stuff!

Jonathan....is that you? Don’t make excuses, you daft bastard.

Eh, so he can’t pass the Wonderlic. He’s a football player, his brains are going to be oatmeal time he finishes anyway...Frank Gore can’t pass it either, he seems to be doing just fine.

This is great - maybe he can sit in the can with the other misogynist Jameis Winston and eat 3 lbs of crab legs together. Buncha jackasses.

I won’t lie - I came to this piece simply because the headline copy was written so damned well. Compliments!

Jesus Christ. Just give him the TJ surgery already. He’s only throwing in the high 80’s and his control is for shit. I don’t get what the big deal is...there are kids in college ball having the surgery voluntarily - what makes this guy special? Do the Yanks not have a starting rotation, or is this the only guy that…

If you are within a state's distance from the state of Colorado, come buy it from us. Three reasons:

You know what this reminds me of? Do you remember in the 1980's a radio spot (in Kansas City I'm referring to) a soap opera segment called, "The Clarence Update"? This column completely reminds me of that.

I can only say: Thank god you don't hand-write your columns.

A, B, AND C?!
