last year, a bunch off guys had career seasons. So instead of a rebuilding year (the so-called bridge year), they got a championship instead. This year, guys reverted to the mean, pedey has sucked, some injuries. They started a bunch of kids as well.

An alchemic mix of new leadership in the clubhouse and front office, a focus on character guys, starting to use more advanced metrics, a focus on rebuilding the farm system and a really fucking crazy ass trade to the Dodgers because Magic wanted to win the newspages back from the Lakers after his group bought the team…

As a Red Sox fan, I hope the trade does not involve Matt Kemp. I think that a team can be conned into giving up one or two good prospects for a rental on Lester. I hope that we can re-sign Lester in the offseason, but I'm doubtful. This saga, for lack of a better word, should leave a bitter taste in his mouth and he's…

Editor's note: The editor refused to watch this.

Hopefully the next time Papi homers he will have a bat boy come over to him with a handsome wooden case, custom made for his bat. Then Ortiz will kneel down, give his tool a quick wipe down to remove any debris and sweat and gently place the bat into the box, firmly ensconcing it into a velvet lined resting place. …

I've probably been to more places in AZ than you have, supposed native, and the only parts that are populated that deserve being spared annihilation are Bisbee and Flagstaff. On top of that they have the worst police in the country.

The next step is the yet-unreached Double Secret DUI.

When the person is allegedly that drunk, I think "blowing the stop sign" may require a little more clarification...

Chris Archer kissed his bicep after striking out DANIEL NAVA last year. Spare me. When did the Rays become the judge of what's ok in baseball? But Joe Maddon is so quirky! Fuck off.

Shit dude, please? I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight otherwise.

Now that's the kind of classy, 3rd-grade humor I've come to expect from 90% of Deadspin posters. Super crafty too btw.

Maybe they were planning to sell the shirts, realized the mistake only after the boxes arrived, then created "shirt giveaway night" just to get rid of them all.

"Upon seeing this, ESPN executives immediately set upon rectifying the situation: Terminating Beadle and apologizing to Smith and Bayless for any offense her comments may have caused."

One month later:

You're right, if a woman starts an argument with you, punching her is much better than smoking pot or being gay. Stupid uppity women, amirite?

It makes me sad that after I said that, you still thought I was serious about being a psychologist

All of this is garbage. All of it.

In response, Dungy issued the following statement:

As a licensed psychologist, I can see a few potential diagnoses for this woman, but one especially sticks out. Now keep in mind,I've never met the woman and would never ever diagnose without extensive face to face time, but it's pretty clear that what we're looking at here is called, in the field, "bitches be crazy."

Steve Sax Syndrome strikes again. (If you get the reference, you're an old.)
