I would say that this is some Angels In The Outfield shit, but the existence of this Orioles team actually negates the idea of God

So when KD uses burners to pump up his image, it’s lame. And when he doesn’t blame anyone else for a career setback, it’s also lame.

That was still a Walter White move from June. Whatever the rationale, she coldly let another woman die, a sweet soul who had helped her. And there wasn’t a real concern about Eleanor betraying their plan, except one the show had tried to fabricate out of convenience, because in other episodes it was clearly established…

Yeah, I think they do great work, I just worry that there’s going to be huge layoffs once the VC fountain is shut off.

Eastbound and Down is one of my favorite shows of all time. I know Danny McBride doesn’t have the greatest range as an actor, but in Kenny Powers he created a stupid, arrogant, regressive asshole, but injected him with enough pathos and vulnerability that you rooted for him, anyway.

I’ve been following Deadspin faithfully since 2005. (Jesus, really? Huh.) I’ve even been fortunate enough, thanks to Will, to add some of my own crappy, amateur writing to the old “Pants Party” catalog. (Pete Gaines, aka “petejayhawk” and I contributed factoids for our respective alma maters — Kansas and Villanova —…

“There are many others in my life who I want to say this to, and who, unlike Rick, can hear me and respond. I could do it right now. I should just go out there and say it. Maybe we all should.”

Rick was too good, too kind for what the internet became.

His sensibility was always so different than the rest of the writers on this site, and yet he fit in perfectly. This makes me genuinely sad. I dont believe in heaven or any of that stuff, but if there is, I hope he is in charge of every cockamamie minor league promotion on the heavenly circuit.

Weird, someone in the office is chopping onions right now. I’ll have to close my door for a few minutes then ask them to stop.

It could ask for more Raiders, but by then they’ll be played out.

what was so triumphal and epic about this?

It’ll be very interesting to see how the USMNT manages to completely squander his entire prime...

Listen, fun is fun, but if you’re going to interrupt your kid’s summer league game do it in the time honored and respectable fashion...get into a drunken argument with the official, before taking a few swings at random parents trying to separate the two of you, then storm off to your car screaming, “I’m sorry, I…

That was my impression, too, but there are other ways to insert semen. Why they didn’t attempt that is beyond me.

I loved the bit about canvassing a conservative college. Excellent use of resources.  Gotta keep juicing that moderate Republican turnip!

Sounds pretty typical for a major organizing effort on the left. They tend to be horror shows of over-work and low pay. 

That's all well and good, but will Khris Davis pick it up enough to hit .247 for the fifth year in a row? That's the real drama in baseball, not this playoff mumbo jumbo 

It’s like Moneyball without Jonah Hill so you know, a less annoying version of Moneyball.
