I don’t think I have much argument that the new ballpark isn’t better in every way. It’s in the “cool” corner of downtown (well, “Lowertown”) St. Paul, easily accessible by public transit, visible from the highway, pretty much the ideal location for such a thing. Especially when considering that Midway was hidden…

Hot take alert! I think Midway Stadium was just weird and trashy enough that it was perfect for the Saints. The new ballpark is just too uncomfortably pristine and modern and clean for what has years been a fun, homespun team. “Gourmet food” and “St. Paul Saints” just don’t make sense together in my mind; I’ll take a…

Holy shit he scored a goal! 

The post-Frozen-Four-NHL-Playoff rookie debut is one of the oddest and best North American sports things there is. “Hey, tough luck on losing to Minnesota Duluth, kid, but forget about it because now you’re in the middle of an NHL playoff series.”

Wow. I read the headline last night, and thought, “Oh, so he launched a ball up into the stands. Dumb I guess, but give him a card and move on.” But holy shit he may as well have just kicked that guy straight in the face!

Golf is okay and yesterday was cool.

I was gonna say Kaapo Kakko is the Finnishest name I’ve ever heard, but really every Finnish name is equally the Finnishest name I’ve ever heard.

Holy shit.

Had his plan worked, Marcell Ozuna would have changed baseball forever. Kids around the world would be burning their Barcelona jerseys and sporting Ozuna Cardinals throwbacks, forward thinking GMs would be signing the world’s top parkour experts to man their outfields and revolutionize the game, and Will Leitch would…

It’s been weird to watch! 10 years ago (or so), especially when they were talking about implementing it in baseball, most of the ‘old guard’ was against it, making essentially these same arguments (human element, pace of play, momentum of the game), and they were taken to the cleaners for it by the younger voices in…

I thought it was a fun and exciting game, but fuck me I guess? 

The True Crime Podcast Industrial Complex is going to tear itself apart trying to get this 6 part investigative series released! I hear a Guitar Center burned down this morning after a mob stampeded the place for Yeti microphones. 

Knuckle pushups. 

Could not agree more!
