No cap, no max contract size, no draft, no college basketball, and the bottom four teams at the end of each regular season get relegated to a semipro league and replaced by that league’s top four teams.

Rob Manfred doesn’t want to hear the likes of Mike Trout say it, but this is why you play the game. Sure, catching pop flies is fun, and taking a big secondary lead can be a little bit of a thrill. But the ever present danger of taking a tightly wound ball to the face after a bad hop is what makes baseball the most…

Have to agree, with some minor differences of opinion. I don’t think Marisnick “went out of his way” to hit Lucroy. He went out of the base line, for sure, thinking Lucroy would be in the base line, and then seemed to instinctively turn his head to avoid injuring himself when he realized a collision was inevitable.

Because one drives people to action, the other is just a shrug. Knowing which candidate looked in binoculars is not going to change things for kids when the inauguration day is 1.5 years away. I also can’t imagine there are many voters or volunteers who are going to say “I’m not going to work for the Dem candidate…

So he didn’t... climb a ladder and look into the facility? Him climbing the ladder isn’t going to bring more attention to this issue (especially when all the other candidates are doing it).

So they’re all using these kids as political props, but Pete gets shit for it because he didn’t do it from 3 feet off the ground.

LOL! What the fuck are you talking about? He was the only person up on stage that consistently answered the questions that he was asked.

It’s a cheap shot.

Wow, look at those thugs.

This is a killer comment.

Oscar Pistorius competed in the Olympics. And that guy has NO calves. 

Lol at this article.  Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Deulofeu. He means Gerard Deulofeu.

I don’t know if it’s a directive from the editor, or just a case of colleagues adopting each other’s literary styles, but the constant “dunked his soul to hell” and “smacked the ball to the goddamned moon” shit is fucking exhausting and not remotely funny anymore.

this is the point at which the Deadspin headline voice has officially become a parody of itself.
