Hitters HATE This Weird New Turf

Get off my lawn!

Non-uniform ballparks are one of the best aspects of the game. The Astros have a hill and a flagpole in fair territory. Boston had a giant fucking wall in left field. Now Toronto has slow grass.

Indoor stadium (except for when the dome opens on gamedays), shared with a football team, no drainage built in.

So basically, the best way to avoid a farce of a game would be to have each team suit up as the other...

The hell is that giant bald head in the stands?

It looks like there’s a swimming pool on the island. Amazing.

I’m an architect, does that help?

As small as the world has become in my daily life and travels, I find ‘pockets’ like these fascinating.

Been on this site for years, and I still haven't figured out which tragedies it's OK to make fun of and which ones it isn't.

As of press time, Gawker Media is still coping with its inability to identify the fraternity's role in his death.

Amen. When I was a news reporter the only perk was when a murder occurred next to a Burger King so you could easily get something to eat afterwards (a murder IN a Burger King was gold, Jerry, gold!). I moved over to sports and saw the equivalent of manatees gorging themselves on free pre-game meals, free post-game…

I crash his wedding to Olivia because I'm a big "fan."

That last Rodgers tweet was directed at Lance Briggs, who retweeted a Rodgers' "Go Badgers" tweet, bringing up that Rodgers went to Cal and (assumingly) he can't root for Wisconsin.
