Egad. You got me. I was not aware that I was on Deadspin saying things I said. Your comment has prompted me to reexamine every fiber of my being.

My bad. You’re right. Just like Donald Trump is right about the Muslims.

I live in central Illinois and have met my fair share of white trash Cubs fans. It’s not just a Cardinals thing.

I totally agree. And to be clear, I have ZERO dog in this fight, couldn’t care less about the parties involved. Wainwright said repeatedly how he liked the guy, liked him as a teammate, and thought he would play well moving forward. He also said: some guys want to be BMOC, and some guys want to be in a situation where…

Amen, bravo good sir

You’re hearing that because you want to hear that. There’s a difference between not wanting to be the face of the franchise and being a coward, which is why Wainwright made no such connection.

Cub fan here, and the OP is right.

You’ve got such a hard on for Cardinals-bashing it’s just sad. Disclaimer, born and raised in Miami, I couldn’t give a f*** about the Cardinals. But I’m tired of seeing every single story you write turn into a self-ejaculating passive-aggressive flagelation of how the Cardinals are really the evil ones hiding petty…

Jesus tapdancing Christ, Deadspin; the guy was asked a question and he answered it with effusive praise for Heyward, whom I daresay he knows a bit better than you or I do, and provided a charitable theory for why Heyward would prefer the Cubs (other than the real reason which was “Star Wars money in 2018”), and you…

Based on his profile picture, I would guess Billy’s age to be about 11. It's not his fault they don't teach world geography until the 6th grade.

I don’t get it. I mean I get your sentiment, here. And I wasn’t surprised really when I read the headline. And I read the story looking for the money quote, but... there’s really not one. What exactly did anyone from the Cardinals say that is so outrageous? It’s clearly not in the snippets you chose to highlight in…

It sounds like he's defending his team from comments Heyward didn't even need to make. Weak writing and non story.

So Mike Matheney is saying they did everything they could do in their eyes to keep him and he chose someone else and they don't hold any hard feelings and this is still an indictment of how awful the Cardinals are? I'm confused.

I’ll get crucified for saying this, but I think I give him the benefit of the doubt. Louis CK (who can do no wrong, according to everyone) has a whole bit talking about how he uses that word to mean a particular type of man, rather than a homosexual.

I don't see anything wrong with what they-

The trolling of St. Louis is real. Maybe he left because Chicago was willing to essentially sign him to a front-loaded 3 year contract?? I can only imagine what Twitter would be like if every fanbase had a twitter account to aggregate the lowest common denominator’s reaction about moves.
