Hell, there’s something pleasantly ridiculous about getting riled up enough about baseball to fight over it.

It’s a tough situation for batters to be in. With a pitcher like Ventura I’d be awfully tempted to charge the mound with the bat, which as I type it out reads like pure insanity.

Ali is certainly a class of his own, but Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Pat Tillman also gave years of their life (in Tillmans case, all of them) to “fight” for what they believed in. This is not to denigrate Ali, what he did, in my mind, is no less brave or important than what those others did.

I’m with you, and I actually really really like Amy Schumer. A self-aggrandizing vanity selfie as part of a campaign to raise awareness for gun violence is in poor taste. I don’t see it as Amy going bottomless for a cause. I see it as a “look at me, I think I look great, and haven’t I shed some lbs, and isn’t this…

I love her and think she’s super hot, but there is no way, by even the most generous measurement, that she’s a size 6 or 8. And that’s fine, it’s her business. But it’s shitty when she makes it a point over and over again about OH MY GOD I’M NOT PLUS SIZE. If she didn't care, she wouldn't make it a topic of her comedy…

Kids started it. It’s about youth wearing an orange t-shirt in a 2016 “All Glocks Down” bid to keep young folks from killing each other.

As someone who has actually done real work lobbying for gun control, I hope that Amy’s selfie is mocking this #WearOrange “slacktivist” nonsense. Wearing orange is bullshit; if you really want change, write your Congressman and Senators and then vote for candidates in November who support gun control measures.

for more attention. I mean more awareness.

Seriously, why’d she post that.

He’s 16, she’s 15, and by all accounts it was consensual.

Chewing tobacco got warning labels in 1986. Gwynn was born in 1960 and he started dipping in college. So let’s say 1979. He dipped for 31 years. So, for a minimum of 24 years he shoved a massive amount of a substance that he knew for a fact was very hazardous to his health into his mouth.

False equivilancy. This has not a fucking thing to do with him or percived “respect”. This has to do with his family doing....... I don’t know what the fuck they are doing but if anyone is making him look like a asshole, it’s them.

“did Tony know Tobacco use could cause cancer? Yes. Do chew cans have warnings? Yes. Not sure how they would be liable/should be liable.”

It's mentioned in the New York Times article that tobacco company representatives were going around to baseball teams (including Gwynn's at San Diego State) and handing out free samples of chewing tobacco to players. This was at a time when tobacco companies full well knew of, but refused to admit, their products'…

This is a very tenuous argument you’re making. Does everyone who’s lost someone to tobacco use get to sue the companies? What about alcohol abuse? Car accidents? What if someone dies in a DUI-related car accident? Can I sue Anheuser AND GM?

Look, his death was tragic and the tobacco companies deployed a heartless, immoral policy of manipulating users. But to a degree of being legally or civilly responsible? Adults make choices. These choices can be harmful. But they’re our choices.

....what? Scherzer is getting paid more money than God. He’s making more than Strasburg will. What fucking universe is this comment from?

What does this even mean? Are they supposed to give Scherzer an even bigger contract than the huge contract they gave him last year? Should they not have given Strasburg an extension because Scherzer is capable of historically great games?

I like the guy in the cell phone video tweet saying “strikeout number 20" with all the raging enthusiasm of someone who just found an Olive Garden coupon in their mailbox.

Alright, you’ve mentioned it twice. I’ll be the one to ask: what is edging?
