Why was Daryl Morey watching a Monday night Mariners-A’s game and and who gave him the phone number to the MLB operations center?

Last week’s novel about how much you hate Vampire Weekend opened up a full-on comment apocalypse, and now you’re posting a Radiohead B-side that basically sounds like Vampire Weekend?? You better post the MTV Beach House performance of “Creep” before the whole system implodes! 

Nah. Baseball has plenty of raking first basemen and left fielders. Why should the first Shohei Ohtani become the 150th Joey Gallo? Take the gamble and let him be historically great. 

Thank you for showing the full image. I’ve been seeing different cropped versions all day that cut off some of the good stuff, and they really do a disservice to the whole. 

The Houston Rockets are using this photo as proof in a letter to the league that Toronto had too many players on the court and therefore the Rockets should rightfully be playing in the Eastern Conference Finals. 

Well actually! I think an argument could be made that because Liverpool and City this year lost and drew fewer games and had a smaller goal differential between them, there was less margin for error on both sides than there was in 2011/12. So yeah in the end 1 point is more than 0 points, but it’s totally reasonable…

I don’t think so. It looks to me like that he saw the impact coming and tried to get his leg up and over Gonzalez, but didn’t have the height. So that probably made it worse since it turned into a kicking motion, but no way was it intentional.

I believe Justin Morneau has been in the booth fairly often this year. Don’t know if that was him last night (Bert Blyleven has been the color guy in recent years, but they’re starting to phase him out; Gladden is just radio). But it makes sense it was directed towards Morneau, who had a long history of concussions as…

This is stupid, but good stupid. 

Jesus. There is some hot shit spewing from every spore of both this article (I luv u Drew, but your music taste is as subtle as a cement block) and the comment section (lots of people really wanting to make sure we know they listen to Black Flag for some reason?), but the last person that is worthy of anyone’s scorn…

This entire comment section is a head-spinning menagerie of checked-out 30-something sports bro hot takes on twenty first century music popular and otherwise, and I’ve been so aghast at every stance everyone here has taken that I barely know how to even start making sense of any of it. But this take... this take is…

Vampire Weekend is good. Chill out everybody. 

The best tacos I’ve had since moving to Brooklyn were from a Mexican restaurant owned and operated by Chinese people. They’re fully un-authentic, but they were delicious.

When I first saw the headline about this, I was ready to fire up a “WTF is going on with pro athletes bellyaching about officials lately” rant, since between this and the Vegas penalty and all the recent NBA bullshit and Bryce Harper getting himself tossed from every other game, it really does feel like some slow…

“On Stark”

Iron Man was a legitimately surprising and charming movie.
The superheroes sitting around in [one of the movies] eating shawarma was kinda cute.
Guardians of the Galaxy had some oddball characters to enjoy.
Black Panther had a couple minutes of thoughtful ideas to express.
That one time Hulk picked up the guy and…

I feel like we don’t make enough of a deal out of the fact that Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook were on the same team in OKC. I mean, plenty of a deal has been made of it, but like... they were on the same team! At the same time! In Oklahoma City! If they teamed up now, Basketball Internet would go…

Plus Mr. Met is pretty fun. 

Yeah, doesn’t Deadspin know that every time they swipe at him he just falls to the ground and clutches his throat and gets three free throws? 

I thought the same thing! But apparently infield fly can only be called if there are runners on first and second. I feel like a dummy now, because all these years when people mention how confusing the rule is, I always think ‘no it isn’t, what’s the big deal?’ But clearly I haven’t even understood it myself this whole…
