If he’s black, he goes undrafted. If he’s white, he goes No. 1 overall and they have a team of musclemen carry him from game to game in a solid gold litter, Cleopatra-style.

I don’t know. It’s a team sport. The hitter should have been more aware and slowed down. These guys are professionals and this is a pretty easy rule to follow. I view this more as just even the best of us can make mistakes sometimes. I don’t see why rules have to be changed.

My day may have been before yours. I am talking about when Wilbur Wood or White Sox shortstop Bucky Dent was my favorite player.

All the stars for you.

ok but the worst part about this is that its 37.99. that’s criminal. i got a mariners hat at Safeco on Friday for 30. and even then i knew i was getting got.

I’m old. I remember when they cost the same as the size.

Made in China - $37.99:

The State of Virginia closed its schools for a year rather than integrate. Whiteness is a helluva drug.

Thanks for writing this. I travel to Quitman, Texas, to visit my parents and find the same issues. All white people in their neighborhood. Beyond the gate, the actual world. They and their neighbors talk about “Driving to the corner to hire a Mexican;” they use the word “saggy pants;” they call me a “hippy-homo”…

It’ll be fine; Brandeis is used to having a bunch of attorneys around

“Gabe, what do you miss most about Boston?”

If I were a Phillies fan I’d definitely be pessimizing right now.

Two hands my man. Two hands. When you get to the show, you can use one hand. Until then, two hands.

The worst, though, is the parental phishing Text & Call combo. My dad would know that I wouldn’t always pick up his calls if I was doing something important, like reading Deadspin or virtually anything else. But he still wasn’t really on board with the texting thing. So he would send a “How are you?” text. Then, the…

I hate the old “Text & Call” combo. You get a “Hey what are you up to tonight/can you help me out with something” text and then because I took more than 30 seconds to respond, I immediately get a phone call from the person asking the same question. Calm down, I’m trying to gather my thoughts and come up with a reason…

Public funding for stadiums is usually in the forms of low-interest loans or bonds, tax breaks/deferments, construction and property grants, or favorable shares of parking or concession sales: in other words, things that reduce the team’s costs, rather than increasing revenue. The team has greater profits, but the…

I think that Drew’s take that 20 year old things seem older now is an uncommon take, and he might not have put much thought into it. Titanic holds up today better than 20 year old films from previous years. Seriously, The Deerhunter came out in 1978, and by 1998 it probably looked dated as fuck, what with that super…

That’s fantastic!

Hmnn. Have you ever heard about the Multicar M25? The thing was built in the eastern bloc, weighs about 3600lbs, has a humongous power output of 46hp from a 2.2 litre diesel engine and can carry about 5000lbs.
