I could do that but I don’t want to give the impression that I did anything wrong. Perhaps this is a sign I shouldn’t be spending so much time on the internet.

yo I think I’ve been de-approved as a commenter after like several years for saying one self-evidently lazy article was bad which seems bogus - sorry to keep yelling into the void but not sure how to get it back

Unless my computer is messing up somehow, it looks like I was de-approved as a commenter for saying that, while Burneko’s articles about things he knows about are great, his articles about things he doesn’t know about and does not make any attempt to pretend to know about, like today’s about the Cubs, are bad. Is…

Maybe The Ringer was cravin’ bullshit.

Is my computer messing up, or did this get banished to the grays? I sure hope it’s the former, cause the latter would be pretty un-Deadspin-like.

This is a good paragraph:

Burneko writing about things he knows a lot about is delightful. Burneko writing about things he knows nothing about is insufferable. I think this is true for most writers, but he really drives the point home.

I’m a Met fan living in Arlington, and I can’t bring myself to hate the Nationals (though I wouldn’t root for them either). They’re just utterly nondescript as an organization, like the Wizards are or the Skins would be if they didn’t have a racist nickname or Dan Snyder.

Remember Rob Riggle’s Jimmy Garoppolo Hamilton parody? I would root for the Patriots to *win a game* if it meant that that abomination could retroactively not exist.

double dipping cause i’m an obnoxious doofus:

What I would give for a candidate in this election with a WAR of 0.

I’ll leave substantive discourse to the many better-informed commenters out there. I’m here to remind all of us that no matter how often we hear it throughout his tenure as MLB commissioner, we must never forget that “Rob Manfred” is a hilarious name.

I’ll try not to let the praise...well, you know.

Looks like he let the authority go to his head.

Why would Rocket feel the need to give Samer instructions on heating up the jelly donut before he fucks it if he’s assuming Samer already has experience doing so? 

Of course the Yankees are to be hated fervently - I’m just unsure whether that is enough to put New York ahead of Boston based on the Yankees alone. It’s an interesting question. For me, the Phillies’ recent irrelevance probably puts Philly 2nd to Boston these days - in the mid-2000s they were squarely at the top,…

New York is only bad if you only consider the Yankees (which I’ll admit is very easy to do). Speaking as a Met/Giant/Knick fan, while the Yankees are indeed the worst, the Knicks and Nets are too stupid to hate, the Mets are the Mets, the Jets are the Jets, and nobody except NFC East fans hate the Giants because…

I mean, you’re correct. But how did you discern that from just one comment?
