Hated to see him get traded from the Phillies. He was the perfect ballplayer for that city.

I was at the game and saw enough meaningless baseball, so I left before the Dodgers’ outburst in the 7th. However the true highlight of the night was the replay of Chase Utley’s World Series speech with no audio...really?

Dear Chase, I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so alike. I’d like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you but I think you’d be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither.…

Excuse me, but this is my Deadspin.

If Kinja disappears in the wake of the auction, the largest loss to our society will be your commentary. Please let us know when you inevitably start a religion/cult/political organization so we can sign on.

The Dutch fans are wonderful, both in general and for spectators. Soccer, cycling, speed skating events, you’ll see a whole host of tall-ass, pale, wonderful orange-clad fans.

* Exception: Feyenoord fans. They suck.

**I may or may not be an Ajax supporter.

Why is it that almost every European country has white people that are more agreeable than their American counterparts?

The Andrus-Beltre rendition of The Odd Couple is fucking great.

Are there two more fun dudes playing MLB than Beltre and Andrus?

Beltre seems like one of the most overall fun guys in the MLB (I almost said NFL there for some reason)

Those are amateurs?!?

It is a fantastic game to play, though. Just mind your head. And your hands. And your ankles. And your shins ...

The girl looks like she has downs syndrome (just by her facial expression and shape). Really a sweet and innocent moment.

I’m glad to see we are still getting these comments so late in the season. Dedication from the BFiB. Would expect nothing else.

Chin up, Cards. You’re so far behind in the division that a lost to the Cubs is the same as a lost against anyone else!

Yes, but more importantly, is he elite?

It is the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. Manu is a 100 percent lock.

Is Ginobli a HOFer? He’s listed as a 20% chance. http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/hof_pr…

Counterpoint: I don't play enough Wii Baseball.
