Counterpoint: He’s a genuinely nice guy just having a lot of fun out there.

The David Ross phenomenon in Chicago was incredibly organic though I’m sure it looks kinda weird from the outside. In the 2015 season he won over the clubhouse, with fans probably having a positive, if not strong, image of him (“I like that second-string catcher Daniel Ross fellow, I guess.”). In the 2016 season, a…

a journeyman catcher who inexplicably became a Chicago folk hero despite only playing two seasons with the Cubs (after inexplicably becoming a Boston folk hero despite only playing two seasons with the Red Sox)?

He’s humble, a really nice guy, and was a great teammate. Nah he fully deserves all this attention. If you don’t like it or can’t stand it, go sit on a cactus instead of writing another article about him LOL idiot.

I am a 30 year old adult man and I will not apologize for my David Ross jersey.

He became a folk hero because he’s a genuinely nice dude. Same with Napoli. I had a chance to chat with them ahead of the 2013 playoffs at an open practice. Both really nice. Napoli extended his niceness when he was pouring shots while shirtless on Boylston after the win

I understand that “hellish” here is a descriptive adjective, but it’s hard to shake the conviction that millions of these are waking the souls of the damned on a distressingly regular basis. 

never should have changed it in the first place. they acted like there was this worldwide rash of catchers being slaughtered but it was just a media driven overreaction. now they’re going to be like the NFL: chasing their tails and changing the rules every year after ONE small play makes a sports blog lose their…

“When Redasses Collide: The Story of Bobby Valentine, David Ortiz, Adrian Gonzales and Dustin Pedroia On The Same Team.”

And not just that, but his first 7 innings were just lights out, absolutely brilliant work. He wasn’t quite as sharp as Scherzer - but who is? - but he definitely held his own.
It’s a shame that he gave up that 3 run shot in the 8th, but I honestly only partially blame him for it, because he was clearly running out of…

Very little chance that happens, unless it’s the left-wing lunatic fringe. Dude drives a Tesla and his wife is a very outspoken proponent of traditionally left causes.

The Tigers should have never let him go. He was worth the coin.

Am I missing something here? What exactly did Harvey do wrong? He was duly home in his PJs when the mets sent their lackeys to snoop on him. What more did they want?

I agree, but obviously others’ mileage may vary. I also find that given my crazily busy life, standing in the kitchen and just chopping vegetables can be pretty meditative, so I feel that I’m actually gaining a little time not racing around.

Judgey, and I like it.

He just tossed Jones as he was walking away. Our bullpen is fucked for the next three weeks thanks to this asshole. And it isn’t done until the Red Sox plunk Manny and both teams get it over with.

This is amazing. I read the article earlier today and told a buddy this has potential to get bad. Tonight was not the outcome I expected. However, I kind of hope the stupidity of this ejection will keep the feud alive. I don’t want to see anyone hurt, but I’m loving the WWE storyline (seriously, how often do you get…

If this wasn’t the same team that had already thrown at Machado a week ago, and that turned Ryan fucking Dempster (long time goofball) into a right-way-to-play-the-gamer then I would just explain it by saying...

Telling Chris Sale to chill is like resisting the Borg, it is futile and they will cut up your jersey.
