Shurmur: Hello, we’re drafting you.

He’s being logical and correct 

Hes simply trying to educate people...and hes completely right AND he did so in a very reasonable and well thought out way. And then you came and tried to bash it with a club like a fuckin caveman ... Congrats on yet again showing the lack of intelligence that MANY baseball fans suffer from.

He’s just trying to slap an Oakland Raiders sticker down there

And who are you to decide who gets to post? What they brought was some economic sense to the incredibly immature, economically challenged author. 

so what’s your job at Deadspin? Why don’t you put your name behind this thin-skinned take?

Yeah, right? No room for economics, social theory, politics, or even math in a multi-billion dollar business. You tell him.

1) To school you in business, and 2) to answer your question, because he has a valid opinion and we’re not in Tripoli

Yikes.  Who pissed in your coffee?

Because this is about more than just baseball?

Nice gatekeeping. Fuck off.

Im sorry Gabe but all value is subjective. Meaning there is no objective standard of what something is worth. Machado and Harper are not “worth” any particular salary. Yes, in the past, players similar to them (or even worse than them) got big ling term deals. That’s is no guarantee of future deals and not proof that…

I have a hard time believing that any assistant would think that saying, “You’re too fat to have a custom dress” would “cushion the blow” in this scenario in any way.

To be honest, I have yet to see a fried egg recipe that outpaces a simple, fried egg.  Some bacon grease or butter, the egg, a bit of salt, and maybe pepper if the mood strikes, and it’s still the best egg for my palette.

Funny, that’s how the old East German Women’s Team did it too.

This is far better than that “Win a National Championship Get Free Big Macs” promo.

“We now go live to Florham Park, New Jersey ...”

To adopt the morality of the NFL you have be totally certain and totally confused at the same time.

Nah, he plays for the Giants, not the Mets.
