Sonny Gray is the real deal. He'll be an ace by next year.

I do this to myself every year. Then in October, after another poor playoff performance, I promise I'll never do it again. I can't imagine how screwed I'd be if I ever used meth.

Got heem

That would be my perfect World Series matchup. I really like the A's. A lot of respect for how they run that organization.

Thank you! You've illustrated exactly what is so disturbing about our culture's views on abortion. If (big if here) the majority of women feel relief and just move on with their lives, it's indicative of our collective loss of care for human life. Indulge me - show me where I said that a baby is more important than…

That's one way to look at it. And yes, I menstruate all the time, thus the moaning and emotion.

"We" aren't talking about elective abortion prior to 12 weeks. You are. I certainly wasn't trying to derail the conversation. To answer the question though... if you view a fetus as nothing more than a scab, then I doubt you would mourn at all. I couldn't tell you why you would mourn. That's part of the issue. …

Yes, I feel the same about women. I've covered that already. I've also lived it. My wife had some complications with our second son during pregnancy. We had to make the decision about what would happen if things got worse at the hospital. So I've been there and made that choice. My wife would live, my baby would…

Circumstantially, a fetus is not the same as an infant. I'm aware that women suffer from postpartum depression and that there are many risks in pregnancy and childbirth. I'm not trying to diminish, nor did I even discuss, any of those facts. Maybe your strong feelings make it difficult to see my point. I'm not…

Plenty of natural bodily processes are heartbreaking. Death is one example. Why is that a waste of time?

"someone with more power taking away your right to feel safe in your body. You know how it feels to not have control it. Shame on you for wanting to inflict that on someone else."

I wasn't here either, so I don't think it was a Deadspin issue. The media in general though... it was pretty ridiculous.

They are right now, that's for sure. I actually think the Marlins are going to be competitive over the next few years. Maybe not this year, they're still so young and they don't have all the pieces in place.

I think you're finally starting to use your heart and your mind. Yes, a woman's right to her own body are important. I get that. However (this is the father in me coming out), I disagree that it's more important than the life of the baby. In fact, I'd gladly sacrifice my own life so that one of my children could…

They really should have some sort of program where the parent can give away the parasite without having to kill it... Why put the word in quotations?

Huge Braves fan, here. Gonna win the World Series this year. I can feel it.

I'm a victim of child abuse. I'm not trying to minimize it. I'm maximizing the importance of life.

Are you suggesting that the parasite evolves into a human being upon birth? Please... I have three children. They're just as dependent on their parents for survival as they were in the womb. If they were a parasite before birth, a parasite they remain.

As a baby, could you survive independently? Could you think? You could feel, but a baby in the womb can feel. If you died as a baby, should anyone mourn for you? You're de-humanizing a living human being by classifying it as a clump of cells if it is unwanted by a parent. No, what makes us human is not the desire…

Yes. I'm sure it's a bad thing. Let's take you for example. If I told you that you could live a long life, but you're guaranteed to witness both tragedy and happiness, or die right now, which would you choose? You're acting we're doing a baby a favor by saving it from heart-ache.... as if there will not also be…
