Chicago taxpayer here. This is a well-written article but only shows one side. What people have to remember is that both Chicago and Illinois are totally broke. Adjusted for the cost of living, CTU teachers are among the highest paid in the country already. As a mother of a small child, I feel strongly that they need…

This is how they’ve been playing for a few years now. They’re remarkably good at advancing runners, combining stolen base attempts with directional hitting to move guys from first to third on a single, and punishing opposing teams. I’m a Rangers fan and I love when they do this shit, even when it’s against us. Fun…

Exactly. It’s part of the game that we were taught in 9th grade baseball. Basically divide the team up when batting and have some look at fielder positioning and see if they move prior to the pitch to see if it’s a fastball or breaking ball; some looking at the catcher to see if he’s holding his fingers too low; some…

Florida is owed a lot of apologies then. 

They were in Japan. You can’t criticize another country if you’re in a similar time zone? 

The Rockets were in Japan.

This is likely the biggest mistake I’ve ever made on Kinja, but god help me, here I go.

Mad respect for the response. And as other comments points out, the implication was discernible. Just that the content didn’t address the headline at all, which was a bit jarring.

Only white men read The Athletic, apparently?

The only thing journalists (of all types, not just at Deadspin) hate more than threats to freedom of press and expression is internet commenters.  I’m not sure where Lauren’s assumption that the commenters are “white men” comes from, though.

As a white man I do not feel outraged, just confused.

The fuck is up with that headline?

“The Bucs haven’t been this ecstatic about a defensive star since the Sapp-Brooks era.”

Those PGA viewers snitching on golfers will have to step up their game.

I don’t think you’re grasping the point of the rule - it’s actually to protect the defense. You’ve seen how long it can take for a player to get out of the stands or the dugout after making a catch - often, enough would-be time for the runners to advance more than one base after tagging up (especially if the player…

Do you like to drink? I do.

As I’ve posted before: https://splinternews.com/1837153047

I am Pro 2A and am totally on board with this. Personally I think you should have to take a specified amount of training and be able to pass a written and practical exam to possess a firearm. This process would need to be repeated per firearm owned and then have to retake the test every few years. Doing this would…

Gun lovers aren’t afraid of that idea, they’re afraid of their idea of a slippery slope ahead. They think all measures lead to total bans.
