"But baseball players are a bored, and often boring, lot; given any opportunity to run onto the field—especially for those September call-ups—they'll take it."

Sometimes, it is the hand holding and the rings that give it away. Other times, it remains a dark, dark mystery.

Is that the town where a sample size of 12 is used to draw conclusion about a population of 300 million? I'm going to guess there are a fair number of bow ties in your life.

Going to have to go with the South as JAH's home...

Not if the timeline is remotely accurate. He wouldn't have had time to be feeling the effect of Ambien. It was my first thought as well, btw. But this is was either a really oddly timed fast food trip + road rage sequence, or the wife is not telling an accurate story.

A wife saying he only had a beer, and the lack of alcohol "at the scene" does not warrant the assumption that alcohol wasn't involved. How many drunk driving accidents do you think occur with a car full of booze?

"You seem oddly silent after you English lesson."

"Fraud?" Fucking clickbait asshole.

"Peterson's done. Mark it down now. He's lost Wheaties and Nike, he's lost America."

So..you're too lazy to figure out the actual theft rates? It's like posting an article showing which race of person is most likely to die of cancer in the US, and showing that most cancer victims are...white. That would be more than a little misleading.

Love how the PC reaction to this whole situation is that no one should do anything, and just let chaos rule.

I would quite literally pay extra tax to ensure every shithead driving 93 in a Camaro spent time in jail.

None of what you said is true.

And from all the people whose lives have been saved by actually enforcing a law in the books, a hearty, "fuck you."

Love this story. Hope they keep putting you a-holes in jail.

That's not "going down easily." That a no-contact dive. Soccer...still a joke.

Not the right test at all. Having a night game after a day game was just one example Ortiz offered. His main point was the cumulative fatigue effect of yoyo-ing your body between performing at night vs. during the day. Do you think if you had to work a similar schedule at Deadspin (half night shifts, half day…

Is this really a "trend" for agents to hate? You mention one guy who agreed to an extension, and a bunch who did not.

Well said. Honestly, I'd fire this Fischer-Baum guy immediately if I was his editor.

A "neat result"? More like, useless paper. Why would one try to measure raw win pct. of bets with variable odds? And for Deadspin: why would you read this 6th-grade-level paper and proclaim: "Gambling Hot Streaks Are Actually Real"? Anyone who has done any real research on this topic knows that they are not.
