“Can you really be the best pitcher of your generation if I ignore 92% of someone’s career?”

Baseball is littered with players who were among the best of their generation who either choked often in the playoffs, or - more of these - rarely if ever made them.

well, his ERA+ is literally 2nd all time and 1st all time for Starters. So yes, you can

His days are almost over.

Roxanne! You don’t have to put on that red hat.

Really burnishes his record of 2-time MVP, 8-time First Team defense, 7-time Second-Team defense, 3-time college Defensive Player of the year, to find out he accomplished all of that while actually coaching his opponents on how to play better against him. Damn.

I liked in Phil’s “The Last Season” that he summed up Duncan’s attitude contrasting to his own stars as such: Duncan would complain about fouls called on any teammate, Shaq and Kobe would only bitch about calls that they were whistled for.

L Batard is talented, smart, and treats sports with the proper reverence which is next to none.  He and many of the sub 40 folks on ESPN have a voice worth listening to.

LeBatard is odd because when it is stupid, it is hilariously stupid. However, when Dan wants it to be profound, it is that as well. It’s paradoxically both the dumbest and smartest sports radio show in America. It’s also the only self aware one. 

Um, I made a masturbation joke. This is Deadspin, after all.

it’d be cheaper to just buy her a baseball

You need to pay more attention, home run sculpture is gone. 

This is the first time a 26-year-old guy named Bryce didn’t feel right at home in the Wrigley bleachers.

In high school they’d show us these paintings by Carravaggio or some baroque painter and it would seem ridiculous how all these soldiers or maidens or elders or witnesses to a long sword murder would each have their own unique overreaction to whatever they were seeing. But they looked just like this photo! How did…

Bob Newhart needs to learn to enjoy himself a little more.

I think Dany wanted to establish her reign of fear from the get-go. Westeros has no love for Targaryens (so already, the people she hoped to liberate were against her), and because Jon has the better claim to the throne (and it seemed that Varyis wanted to get that information out before he died), she aimed to…

At 10 seconds, I was wondering when Lillard would make his move. At 5 seconds, I was screaming at him to make a move toward the basket! When the shot left his hands with two seconds left, I thought, “what a terrible, stupid shot.” Then it went in. I rewound the DVR to watch the last two minutes at least five times.…
