Now be fair - Drew meant to say "most raciest" due to Sinsinnati's well-earned reputation as a den of iniquity rivaled only by the San Fernando valley.

Nice job, Samer. It's nice to see a Deadspin writer looking at the play on the field as a focus.

At this time, after the 9-0 obliteration of the Dodgers, and while I'm still properly drunk after a local brewers' Oktoberfest, I'd like to pass this little tidbit on to average Deadspin editor/writer/asslicker and the general readership:

If, as they should, the editors at Deadspin offer you a position for your consistent excellence at commenting, you should still tell them to fuck off. You're better than they are.

Shocking that a local TV station would do something like this to try to whip up their viewers/homers - shocking I say. Also shocking that Deadspin's slack and dilatory writers continue to beat this grease spot formerly known as a dead horse.

Oh, fuck off you pricks. Where and when did this tool from USA Today decide that he spoke for every Cardinal fan? Where and when did you decide that he did? You've taken one asshole's opinion and decided that everything everyone who roots for the Cardinals thinks matches this horse hockey.

I'd suggest a bit of additional preparation too: the best brats I had were at the local winter beerfest of the city with the lowest ranking food item on this list. The brats were braised in Bell's Expedition Stout, then finished on a wood fire, topped much as you suggested. When drunk, the best damn thing ever,…

Also going to suggest some alternatives for Kentucky and Missouri:

That's a good thing. Maryland drivers. Holy shit.

Deadspin: Currently the place where the most banal of the dipshit "sports" bloviation found on the internet attempts to thrive.

All of this crap about the "way to play the game" would be moot if they just fucking played well. Go out and put the golden sombrero on Puig again, play the outfield and run the fucking bases the way you should. Get a hit for chrissakes. No reason to be pissed when the team you've dominated pitching-wise breaks out…

Except that Allen Craig was the starting first baseman until his ankle injury. Matt Adams is a rookie, untried and untested, having a remarkable start to his career only after he got the chance to start every day. He sat the bench all year until Craig's injury, and hit more than half his home runs and did much…

And if Ortiz was playing first base somewhere, he would be spending some of his time practicing fielding rather than practicing hitting. As it stands, he only has to practice hitting - which makes him a better hitter. Plus, if he's playing the field, there will be much more wear and tear on his body that he wouldn't…

I think that if you looked at the disparity in batting ability between the AL and NL pitchers, then compared it to the batting disparity between the AL DH and the 4th outfielder/pinch hitter coming off the bench that passes as the NL DH, you'll find that there is a much greater disparity between the professional…

And yet there is no argument from you that what I've said earlier was incorrect. Is it your suggestion that the DH is not an advantage for the AL? And yes, dominant pitching will win games. When your opponent's pitching is not dominant, don't you want better hitters than the other team? Wouldn't you rather have a…

It's pretty simple - you can find a guy who hits well, but can't field worth a shit. You pay him to do only that - he spends all his practice time hitting for extra bases instead of figuring out what a cutoff man is. That guy gets 5-6 abs every game. That's the AL method.

It seems to me that the NL teams have a huge disadvantage with regard to the DH. I generally dislike the rule, but since it's there and it's never going away (too much money for old washed up fielders who can still bat, or David Ortiz) it would be best for the NL to adopt the rule and stop giving AL teams an…

Hey Drew - why don't you go back to trading dick pics with Favre to see if he has any interest in playing for your shit football team again. Last I heard, you don't even like baseball, and you like yinzers less than the smell of your old prep school roomie's farts (NO ONE DENIES THIS).

Here's the recipe that I've used with tremendous success over the years:
