It's pitchers. Go to a slow pitch softball game.

The Mets were simultaneously going for it and tanking by batting Cano 3rd or 4th all season.

It isn’t so much that they forgot to build a bullpen. It’s that the bullpen they built forgot how to throw. Familia and Diaz have not been a third of what they were last year, and Justin Wilson was hurt most of the season.

IPAs are like vegans.

One of the guys from Len is in Broken Social Scene, somehow.

The Developers.

The Reds giving up a top prospect for a starter with one more year of control on the random hope that they’ll suddenly be competitive (in a tough division, no less) is bad.

There are some guys who excel at practice and keep getting hired for this reason. Blaine Gabbert.

That Blue Jays official quote all but calls Stroman “boy”, doesn’t it.

Kinda rooting for the Mets to flip Stroman in two days for more than he cost.

They have plenty of offense. What they don't have is a defense.

I got shat on at a wedding on the water in Seattle. My friend got hit too, and he’d gotten shat on the day before in Seattle, too. We all had to stifle laughter while our friend was reciting his vows

I certainly like the fact that I can get Bells in the supermarket, but I’ll echo the complaint that “supermarket beer” doesn’t mean much if it just means “craft beer that is distributed at least regionally.”

Jed York is terrible and barely older than me. We're going to suck for fifty years.

Will there be any named female characters who aren’t hot? Because Witcher 3 didn’t have any named female characters who weren’t hot. Also, you play as a hot sterile guy who has an “it’s complicated” relationship status with two women, all while banging other women. Without consequences, because you’re sterile.

Is this the “Pete Alonso is awesome” article that deadspin’s been forgetting to write all season?

Rob Manfred is the fucking worst.

This rule is so goddamned stupid. Manfred wants to speed up the game but keeps trying to add shitty parlor tricks to boost offense and slow the game down. He proposed moving the mound back in this league. 60 feet 6 inches is pretty sacred. 

NFL and NBA contracts are in the same range per year.

Rob Manfred has an unnerving habit of loudly announcing the game's flaws.
