(Headline from the linked article)

The last time a guy tried to grab my moose knuckle it was cause for a brawl so I definitely understand.

Except it wasn’t lodged. It’s hard for a ~3" diameter ball to be lodged under padding that’s 5" above the ground.

No jokes on this one — I am genuinely interested to hear why the hell Cespedes left the ball there. It’s a meaningless game but still. What was his thought on this?

Made all the more surprising by the fact that he’s one of the two or three worst umpires in baseball.

Even Dorn from Major League would question that level of commitment.

Umpires get a lot of shit, but for today at least that ump is a hero.

Highlight of my youth baseball career: playing left field when the other team’s big hitter absolutely crushed one down the line a hundred feet over my head. The left field fence was 380 feet to the pole and didn’t even belong to the baseball field, it belonged to the next field over. Ball bounced twice and somehow…

Cespedes’ ride to the ballpark tomorrow

Ah, the old Upton defense:

God, I feel so old for getting that reference now. Even though I’m 27.

I find Comment of The Day coronation comments annoying anyway, but why do people put the hashtag? It’s not Facebook or Twitter, there’s no way to track it. It’s not even really ironic, is it?

10 horses isn’t bad. I routinely lose like 6 oxen just between Independence, MO and Willamette, OR.

I think we should do it to everyone who makes a claim on the internet, because you know, common sense...

Nah, then you just get attacked by evangelicals for being a Diavel worshipper.

It’s best to be skeptical of any such accounts online, regardless of political or ideological leanings. I’m guessing most such anonymous viral stories are “embellished” if not outright made up.

I can’t believe you’re still supporting Michael Dukakis

I think the most shocking part of this story is that there were TWO people in a Wal-Mart that were anti-Trump.
