Nowhere in that quote does he stipulate which borough of New York would be having a good offseason, so it’s technically prescient.

Is Strop’s point here that he threw 3 balls in a row, and so by trying to not groove a home run pitch to Puig, everyone’s just supposed to shrug and give him the leeway to hurl a potentially bone-breaking hardball WAAAY inside, fuck up (OOPS tee hee), and hit the batter? What am I missing here? Why is Puig stupid for…

You missed a pretty big chunk of this story by not including what happened on the 2-0 pitch right before.

One thing I hate about writers is when they write something that causes a swift and broad backlash, and their defense is “You misunderstood what I meant,” as if that is a valid defense for a person whose job it is to convey ideas to third-parties via the written word. I write for a living, and if someone who is…

Fuck Trump.

Eh, I do drive through and past the pentagon every day. Most roads around the Pentagon ARE public roads. I frequently skirt the parking lot to get onto different highways, as do most commuters. Google/Waze isn’t doing anything wrong or out of the norm unless it sounds you to one of the ID checkpoints... but that would…

I hope this ages better than the “Kevin Durant, You Have Two Calves For a Reason, You Coward” post.

He indeed has a promising future in fast food, if the Jimmy John surgery goes well.

You say too soon but you know the Cardinals team doctor is thinking, “Can you believe I had to wait 2 years to get my new boat?”

If someone can devise an effective way to keep a talent like Hicks healthy while still allowing him to throw 104, they might just revolutionize baseball.

This has been happening more and more on Deadspin in the comments section. I have nothing against a writer taking a side in an article they write, but to remove any comments that disagree with the writer (or provide facts that dispute/disprove any positions taken or claims made by the writer), it just becomes a Fox…

have you received a response to this question yet?  otherwise, please update the post to reflect that the staff writer failed to provide a comment.

I contacted every member of the US Men’s National Team to ask if they were happy about today’s result and if they like puppies. None responded and I think we can all agree that their silence speaks volumes.

Imagine starting for Deadspin this month and already having one of the stupidest blog posts of the year. Truly impressive.

What, people laughing at a bullshit, badly-researched gotcha blog post instead of gushing about it is a bad thing?

You’re an asshole, Kelsey. Another poster posted this but I’m sending it too.

I would’ve at least expected Tim Ream to be caught out of position on this question.

in all fairness, i’d be scared as fu if deadspin asked me to comment on something.

While I think it’s a valid question to ask them, out of curiosity, in what capacity were the USMNT players asked? Were they emailed or asked in person? Was a questionnaire sent out to a team PR person? Were they walking out to the pitch to warm up for a game, or were they walking back out on the pitch for the second…

Man, these guys really won’t defend anything.
