the game was called poorly, but poorly both ways.  blaming outcomes on balls and strikes is such a weak out.  come on.  

We want to extend a nation-wide heartfelt gratitude to Houston and D.C. for saving us from a Fall Classic befouled by the Yankees and Cardinals. The Yankee team is stocked with actually decent men, save for the petulant and perfidious Sanchez. For one example, Judge is not only a great player but seems like an…

The Astros are so preoccupied with outscoring the Yankees in individual games they may end up losing the series in total hits, which as scholars know is really what it’s all about.

Yeah, sure, but also fuck the Yankees. 

It really seems like NFL contract shouldn’t be able to do this.

I am an attorney. A bad one, but that is besides the point. I believe there a clause that any guarantees can be voided for “conduct detrimental to the team.” I would say committing a potential felony against the head coach and calling the GM “cracker” in front of the team meets that standard.

I still can’t believe I got to watch my favorite team win the World Series in 2017. But the fact that they’re still good and have the potential to be good for a long time is beyond my comprehension. Like my daughter’s Rubik’s Cube or those roundabouts in Europe.

Joule thief!

Sorry Deadspin, but in the US soccer world, ur only slightly better than TMZ.

That was the most fun I’ve had watching golf since...uhh...

The most charitable take on this is that he was naive about the political connotations of the photo op.  

This story has further cemented my decision that 1 kid is enough.

...Tim isn’t wrong, either.

I notice you didn’t mention the Lakers-Kings-level rig job the officials pulled tonight. The Rockets should have shot better but the officials were so obviously in the tank for Golden State it was laughable.

The number of liberals that supports Hamas is kind of amazing.

I agree - each parent should also get $6 million
