You define “common” as 79 times in Major League history?

“more than half of us”

I will fight you* to keep unique ballparks.

Maybe don’t intentional throw a pitch at anybody. Ever. I don’t care if you think the slide by Manny was dirty. You know how you show him up? Strike his ass out 4 times. Unwritten rules of baseball are bullshit.

“We clapped for Adam Jones AND Isiah Thomas last night! CHECKMATE, LIBTARDS.”

Two Conference Rivals, both alike in humility
(In front of fake Philadelphia library, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A draft announcer bludgeoned by boos umpteen.

So sliding directly into the base with your spikes down and then having the foot pop up naturally from the impact with the base and then the spikes hitting the leg of the second baseman (who said he doesn’t have a problem with the play) is intentional?

All I see is a fantastic display of pitching to contact.

Stassi: Any advice for me in the majors?

I still get mad about Grantland closing and tons of it had to do with the other people who worked there. Hell, it mostly did. I’m glad The Ringer has kept people like Mallory and Chris who I genuinely enjoy. Same with David Shoemaker who is probably the finest pro wrestling writer in the world and Robert Mays who’s…

You might not care about the WBC, and a lot of other people might not care, but based on that lineup the DR sure as hell cares.

+1

Given his numbers you might say that Bishop going to the Kings is a lateral move, but I’m pretty sure when it comes to Bishop it can only be diagonal.

yeah, because they don’t cover “the earth is round” until your 4th year at Duke.

Is it a coincidence that Moses backed out of entering Israel at the last minute? I think not.

For a guy without a working finger, he seems easily triggered.

I wish I could help you, but I’m drawing a blanc...

Well religious entities are tax exempt.

Bautista isn’t quite as attractive a target as, say, Blue Jays teammate Edwin Encarnacion

At first I thought this was an attempt at humor but now I think you’re being serious.
