From the Astros’ side, the narrative looks pretty clear-cut here. With the team reeling from a storm that’s ravaged their home city—killing at least eight people, displacing thousands more and making professional baseball in town untenable for the time being—they reached out to their opponent and asked to swap this…

You’re not the only one, but you’re all equally the worst.

I agree. He didn’t get two feet down despite making a baseball move.

It’s true. Forget piddly 20% growth, BBB sales have doubled in just their last quarter alone! Amazing! Two pairs to four, but still.

Big Baller Brand is taking over.

Billy, any chance of a Tournament of Nations post? USA v Japan has been such a good rivalry in women’s soccer. Also intrigued by possibility of Australia winning entire tournament vs. Brazil getting revenge for that narrow World Cup loss in Canada.

Jordan would have let it slide to make sure the team covered.

I know this will be FILED TO: DUH, but there has to be more to this story than just a one-minute phone call to an escort service. I mean, this isn’t Rick Pitino we’re talking about here.

Gotta love the headline. Weekend deadspin needs the clicks. He didn’t “chuck” his glove. It’s called momentum and as the commentary said, the flick of the wrist. Garbage take Chris.

So we just making shit up in the headlines to get clicks now? He did not chuck his glove.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that a “ground rule triple” is awarded if a fielder intentionally throws his glove and makes contact with...

you and I have different definitions of “chucked”

I think that, in retrospect, the Cousins trade was of benefit to the Kings. Whether or not it was luck, the team has a bright future with Boogie gone. Considering the difficulty of unloading Cousins on any team, the Kings should be commended, even if it does not follow the Deadspin narrative.
