Who do you think he votes for if Marianne Williamson drops out? Nobody? My guess is nobody. 

cf. The Pawtucket Red Sox, soon to be Worcester Red Sox. They have done a quite successful grift as part of the “revitalization” of downtown. 

“From the perspective of MLB clubs, our principal goals are upgrading the minor league facilities that we believe have inadequate standards for potential MLB players, improving the working conditions for MiLB players, including their compensation...”

So their response to a rapidly-aging fanbase is to price out the poors and shut out the rural? Their brilliance is... staggering.

This feels like self harm to baseball as a whole.  Do you want less people interested in your sport?  Reduce the ability to watch it.

I didn’t know Jim Spanfeller ran baseball too.

Anybody who has read a single goddamn story about this strike and still thinks it’s about teacher pay either doesn’t know how to read or is being willfully obtuse.

“I have no sympathy for the situation.” This is what you are contributing to the conversation? Fuck you want, a cookie?

Hey genius, the person your commenting to is, like myself, a spouse of a teacher, which means that they know what it’s like to work and not be a teacher. I promise you that it is not the same thing that most workers experience.

You’re 100% wrong on the Lazard TD catch.  He didn’t control the ball until he fell in the endzone.  Just because he landed at the 1 doesn’t mean he’s down at the 1 in that case.  It’s where he gains control of the ball itself.

Silent Violent Haze is also the name of the new Ben and Jerry’s flavor specifically marketed at the lactose intolerant.

+1 American Exceptionalism which is currently +1.32 Canadian...

I mean, I think your criticism is fair, but at the same time, Canada hadn’t scored a goal against USA in 12 years, so it’s not like the mentality comes from nowhere. 

Another victory for the armed working class.

Didn’t see the game, but I’ll just assume Michael Bradley played.

It’s crazy how these kinds of people, people who fought for the rights of the working class, don’t have monuments to them all over the place. After Reconstruction a bunch of shitass Confederate statues were put up to remind Blacks of their place in society, but these heroes don’t get nearly the amount of attention…

This is an intense and well-written story, the exact type of stuff that nobody but Deadspin is doing.

Yeah, but where were they possibly going to find a high school coach in Texas who HASN’T been caught covering up massive sexual assault allegations?

I meant this as a joke, but as I typed it out I remembered that a coach in my hometown hit-and-ran and killed a black mother and her daughter and then only got probation. …

Best minimum wage job?
