In that case, the accusation would have been slut-shaming or body snarking. Racism accusations are more of a Gawker thing.

Congratulations on having made perhaps the most ludicrous racism accusation of all-time.

I honestly don't know enough about the CBA's in other sports to compare them to MLB's, so I can't argue with you. And I'm from Toronto, so now that money is raining down from the SkyDome's retractable roof, I may stop complaining about disparities between teams in terms of ability to spend.

Oh, the MLBPA is doing a great job for the players, no doubt about that. They have by far the strongest union in any of the sports. That's why someone like Mark Buehrle can get a $58 million contract. I'm approaching the situation from the perspective of the fans, though.

That part I totally agree with. I think Toronto is considered the 4th largest market in MLB after NY/LA/CHI, but I could be wrong.

Obviously, deep pockets are not going to be as helpful to a team that has an inept front office. And obviously, there are several teams with great front offices that have managed to find ways to largely mitigate the effects of having less money to spend.

Yeah, it's really great how the Rays have been able to hold onto their good young players when they become free agents, so you can enjoy watching a guy become a fixture on your team. Like I'm in Toronto, and as much as they've been shit forever, at least we got the awesomeness of watching Halladay for the better part…

Try to sell the "MLB has the best labor system in baseball" to fans of teams in small markets. The geographical location of your team should not provide a competitive advantage or disadvantage. It should be as neutral as can realistically be achieved.

Timely.

There are lots of good players who are unpopular.

Fine, the weirdEST looking one.

He looks like the weird looking guy from Black Eyed Peas.

Yes, a self-made half-billionaire dumbass. And he owns less than 1% of the team so don't think he's changing any names.

It's all Illuminati symbolism.

Or you fucking let it go in a forest since you're in your car anyway. And if you're going to kill it, choosing to drown it means it suffers before it dies. Awesome. Don't even give it the benefit of a quick death. Fuck, you could even kill it and THEN toss it in the water. But no.

Yeah, using a trap designed specifically not to kill the skunk and then killing it doesn't seem too logical. And drowning it as the "humane" thing to do? And if it is true, we have some evidence that is consistent with Reader Chris being a sociopath.

He probably just wanted to confirm that you weren't dead.

She's my MP!

I have been saying this all day. Even if they don't do it before the season, there's always the trade deadline should the Jays be in contention.
