'99 was kind of stillborn (though the revenge against Clemens in Game 3 was victory unto itself) and '03 was agonizing, but that five-year run of torment made the 2004 postseason probably the best extemporaneous narrative in American sports. The payoff would not nearly be as satisfying without all those events.

He must have got into some Doc Ellis LSD stash... Course Doc threw a no-no...

As a Vikings fan, let me say this, FUCK THIS ORGANIZATION. I'm not gonna pay $150 minimum to sit in the nosebleed bleachers of a college stadium in sub-zero temperatures. Ticket prices are insane, and Joe Everyfan is priced out. Good thing football is infinitely better to watch on TV.

This chart is worthless. It says bad hitters swing a lot and good hitters are allowed by their managers to swing at 3-0 pitches, while bad hitters aren't.

My baseball career as a kid started with me having a high on-base percentage and a "good eye", mostly because pitchers when I was a kid were bad and I could get walked a lot of I just stood there instead of swinging all the time like most kids. The older I got the more the pitchers improved and the more I needed to…

I fucking hated taking a pitch. 3-0 suddenly becomes 3-1. Foul one off. Then strike out. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Start talking to yourself in the batter's box. Start thinking about the girls in the stands — maybe they are laughing?. Another 3-0 count. Strike out some more. Goddamn baseball was a mindfuck.

here's a chart showing there are more bad hitters than good hitters

I see some of you idiots don't really get what's going on here, so allow me to enlighten all of you mouthbreathers: D'Brickashaw isn't his legal name. That would be Dragonfly Jonez.

Wow, this is a big mystery. After you solve this you can figure out if water is wet, if the sky really is blue and what exactly is up with airline food.

Come on now, this is probably just a case of the 99% of bad cops making the other 1% look good.

That's because half of them ARE cops.

The cops refuse to do anything about the roving packs of ATV and off-road bikes rampaging around Washington Heights, closing down roads with intimidation tactics, performing dangerous tricks around pedestrians and generally just being the biggest douche bags in history.

How do you know a cop is lying?

An article...written by someone not from Brazil, for a site owned by an American company, commented on by predominantly Americans, about a Brazilian who currently plies his trade in Spain.

I see that the author of this article really muddied the waters with his assertion that Neymar used a racial slur in denying his ethnicity. The thing is, he didn't. "preto" isn't a slur, it is the equivalent of the term "black" in Brazilian Portuguese. I don't know if the author willfully misrepresented Neymar's…

For the umpteenth time, I feel compelled to repeat this. The term "preto" isn't a pejorative term. It is the equivalent of using the term "black" in the US to describe African-Americans. The author is mistaken when he cited "preto" as a slur.

That's because it is — or worse than pearl-clutching, really. On the rare occasion when white people aren't tearing down PoC celebrities, there is always a PoC waiting in the wings to take up the role.

Maybe he's to so interested in how his ethnicity is perceived by a bunch of white, busybody liberals on Deadspin.

Agreed, considering this is the first time I've ever heard that making the awful decision to get frosted tips makes you a race traitor to the black side of your family, I wonder who the author is saying it's "easy to condem neymar" for, I was unaware there was a large movement to brand him a race traitor for his hair…

It's too easy to condemn Neymar for pretending to be white
