Putting my +1 firmly behind Jill Hennessey

They’re making a joke about criticism of Puig for vaguely defined character or behavioral faults and the conservatism of baseball’s conventional wisdom being black.

Giving up a dinger to Bartolo is more or less equivalent to giving up dingers to three lesser men, though.

Wait a minute how did I end up back in the greys? I’ve been in the black for years! Grrrrr Kinja.

Maybe [[[she]]] was just upset that his catch wasn’t Orthodox enough.

Agreed. Maybe it’s just that I have kids obsessed with knights and horses, but I would’ve liked more of a Medieval Times-esque knight on horseback. Ideally the horse would have iceskates, and the knight would be using his hockey stick as though it were meant for jousting.

Except that the not-at-all implausible reality is that notwithstanding that - which, yes, was a serious error on her part - the margin of difference is attributable to misinformation campaigns orchestrated in those states by Kushner + Russia.

Does that stuff even exist anymore? Thought I might be the first one to make that joke.

Because Edward Said so.

Man, I spent much of this long read trying to remember the name of that insufferably arrogant Texan Hunter Thompson wannabe who thought that lame inside jokes about #want were a reasonable substitute for actual analysis. Jason Parks. Thanks for the reminder.

15 year old kids who abuse 6 year olds have a lot going wrong, but calling them “monsters” is willfully ignorant. The leading studies show pretty convincingly that most of these cases involve power dynamics and opportunities that don’t otherwise ever manifest again, not any sort of ingrained predisposition - which…

I’m not that sympathetic to Na, but that bushy green haircut of his is amazing.

He might’ve known that if it weren’t for Odubel Herrera’s shoddy leadership.

I dunno man. The ‘89 Astros were pretty good. A young Craig Biggio. An old Bill Doran. Future HOFer Jim Deshaies.

One of my favorite National columns, ironically, was about how the idiots at Ellis Island somehow misheard “Bollea” as “Hogan” and then, later, as “the Love Sponge.”

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who fondly remembers the wrestling column. I was 11 years old at the time and persuaded my parents to make a special stop every Tuesday on the way to school to buy The National especially for that.

If that’s true, it’s really a fronton his dignity.

“Did the fact that you could see his skull make it easier or harder to get inside his head?”

Why doesn’t the court have sidelines?

I know, and me too. But I wasn’t going to let those facts ruin a dumb Kinja joke.
