...with 1,000 more walks and 100 more points of OBP. Get out of here with this Kingman shit and keep that for Adam Dunn.

Get the fuck out with things you’re not willing to take two seconds to fact check. Seriously, what a fucking joke of a statement.

You’re trying to say Thome (612 home runs, 17% walk rate, .276/.402/.554, 145 wRC+, 147OPS+) is a “modern” Dave Kingman (442 home runs, 8.2% walk rate, .236/.302/.478, 113 wRC+, 115OPS+,…

Anyone who makes a “how can you know he was clean” argument is being intellectually dishonest, because baseball has literally never been clean. Just because Gaylord Perry throwing a spitball might be seen as more gentlemanly than shooting Winstrol into your ass doesn’t change the fact that Gaylord Perry was a cheater…

If Dave Kingman had significantly more power, had a batting average 40 points higher, drew another 60 walks a year, and had half again as much playing time as he actually did, he’d be an easy Hall of Famer, just like Thome.

How can you KNOW anyone was clean? By that standard, no one ever gets in again. Even if you’re against PED guys getting in, Palmeiro failed a PED test. Thome did not. In.

Kinja NEVER disappoints!

McGee’s retort isn’t a burn, it’s sous-vide: sophisticated and juicy.

I don’t know man, that’s a pretty literate reference. I think JaVale wins that round handily.

Daaaaannnnmmmnmnn. That was like dunking on a third grader (on a 6 foot goal - we’re not that spry anymore). This does raise the question of the myriad of externalities that do contribute. Anyway, thank you for not faking the funk on the nasty dunk.

Are you seriously trying to blame Barack Obama for inequality? Please list specific examples of actions taken by Obama that you believe led to an increase in inequality.

The wealthiest didn’t earn as much money in 2008 because the republican president and the republican congress crashed the economy that year.

Yeah. That’s called the financial markets recovering from the financial crisis. And Obama’s ability to tax high earners was obviously constrained by a Republican Congress. Idiot.

It was early in Green Room that I knew was going to like the movie. A punk band, hard on its luck (like any good punk band), just had a gig fell through. The booker offers a back-up: play for some Neo-Nazi bar out in the middle of nowhere. The way the band reacts is perfect. They’re not outraged, they’re not…

I said this when this article came out earlier, but I’ll say it again: Jabari Parker, not butt.

Does that mean he no longer makes this list?

Being a weirdo is a good thing. I apologise on your behalf for being so short sighted.

As a rambling weirdo myself, I refuse

should have called it The Assholes

the guys weren’t even that nice
