Babe Ruth being carried off the field at Fenway Park, suffering from cramps:

Forgiveness for the Ezra Pounds of the world is a little misguided. I think people have the ability to compartmentalize and poststructuralism is all about the thing itself and not the intent of the artist, but I don't think that culture at large has actively forgiven Pound, the miserable, insane, anti-semetic fascist.…

I more impressed that Doug Mientkiewicz is quoted as saying... anything.

Incidentally, my mom said Rice also came into the law firm where she worked (when she was just out of college) to sign some insurance policy document or something, and she said you could tell who he was from a mile away because, in addition to being huge, he moved effortlessly, like he weighed nothing (there was…

Makes sense. Still a shitload of power behind that swing, even with a compromised bat.

My dad said he saw Jim Rice do that once on a check swing. Kind of thought he was bullshitting me until now.

Who determines where the base of the shaft is located?

Maybe this is just my mean streak, but I feel like if I was on the mound and someone walked up and went into this stance, I'd throw at his chin too, because fuck this guy.

Jesus Christ I forgot how bad Damon's arm was.

Well, I'd argue that for whatever this guy makes (I actually have no idea, but I'm assuming it's a lot), it should be interesting every time. I mean, a site like Deadspin posts off-the-cuff garbage all the time that's pretty readable. People who write for the Hardball Times and Fangraphs seem to do okay. But the…

The main difference is that he's getting paid bank for a job that a ton of English/Journalism BAs do for a year after they graduate, making ~$30k. This is content marketing, SEO 101, the only irony is that ESPN has no need to improve its traffic, click rates, whatever through methods like this. They call it journalism…

That's the most sexually appealing jockey I've ever seen. And he seems to have fallen from his horse.

I'd like someone to call his show and just ask him what a "squeeze play" or a "corner blitz" is or something, just to check real quick whether he gets sports.

I feel like anything that's a bare reed is automatically eliminated. The girl who played the oboe, or any other bare-reed woodwind, was somehow too precocious for the clarinet, which is just fucked to begin with. I'd say any woodwind, really, requires too much deftness to manipulate expertly, regardless of the…

Does Gomes masturbate furiously before every BP?

I always wanted to name a dog Evgeni Nabokov because why the fuck not?

'S THAT THERE POOL FER SWIMMIN ER FISHIN?

I love it when you can just earnestly like a guy like this. I'd hang out with this dude, and we'd probably have a good time.

Starting any defense with "Actually," has got to be some kind of rhetorical fallacy.
