They don’t affix asterisks on diamond-encrusted rings. They still have to rip the Zombie Warriors’ heads off if they want to entertain the debate in the first place. But if they do, they earned it.

Reds fan here.  Same.

I mean, Double-A is basically the bush league, so...

Baseball: Where it’s totally not cool to do your job to try and beat someone else in the game you’re playing, but it’s absolutely fine to throw a projectile at someone’s face if they watched their home run for too long that one time 10 months ago.

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

If you didn’t want spoilers for things that already aired in Little Rock, you shouldn’t have come to a Little Rock focused blog.

As a follow-up I got curious why they ran this when they did and discovered a few things:

Sorry, but the correct response was “What is, Annapolis?”

None of these are likely at this point, but Raptors as NBA champs, Blues as Stanley Cup winners and Twins as World Series champs would all go pretty well on that list (as would have Spurs as UCL winners).

Not enough people talk about LeBron. Thanks.

And nevermind how fucking fast…

I remember some kid in the 90's telling me that they chose the name Raptors because the first Velociraptor skeleton was discovered near Toronto. This is something I’ve believed to be the truth for 25 years.

Jack Nicholson must be rolling over in his grave.

You mean when LeBron dragged Matthew Dellavedova and a couple of janitors from the Q to 6 games?

How on Earth does one get lost for 17 days on an island of only 727 sq. mi.? I mean, that takes WORK. Just picking a “Oh shit, I’m lost” point at random, there’s a 90% probability that you will be within 20 miles (or less) of one Maui’s numerous roads, or from the shore. Even if someone dumped you by helicopter on the…
