I wouldn’t read that into it, necessarily. Deadspin’s house style requires shitting  on the Cardinals at every opportunity. The Braves have little to do with it.

The Presidential Records Act doesn’t apply to members of Congress.

My understanding is that Trump cannot block anyone from his Twitter account.

And yet if you asked white people to forgive the 9/11 hijackers, you'd get a much different response. I use that analogy as a litmus test.

This Deadcast should be recorded while Drew is driving his Kia minivan, with Roth and Lauren in the back seat annoying each other.

I *really* want to laugh at this bullshit, but I'm immunocompromised so fuck Becky with the full cup.

Reminds me of the Pro-lifers that murder doctors.  Every life is worth saving unless you disagree with me.

Man, these anti-vaxxers sure do love trying to expose other people to diseases. 

Does no one in America know the meaning of the word “treason”? 

I defy anyone to find a word that better describes Trump’s speaking style than “honks.”

None of which addresses the original point that 99% of the comments on this page aren’t from regular readers, but are some reddit flashmob sent to defend the Holy Yang against blasphemers. See how well that worked for the Bernie Bros last time and get back to us. Or don’t, since I tired of this True Believer stuff…

How do you do, fellow members of the “sensible left.” I am here to tell you why we have to embrace racist people, because if we don’t they’ll be all mad and stuff, and we wouldn’t want that. Also not giving racist people a job and a weekly platform on network TV is literally fascism. If you disagree with me I’ll just…

I want to see his fucking tip.

1) Go to your job and say what Gillis said and see if your boss doesn’t fire you. Gillis is also bad at his job (he’s not funny).

The amount of brand-new commenters on this article is something else.

It’s impossible to overstate how beloved Lincecum is among Giants fans. It was completely reasonable, in a ceremony that involved legends, Hall of Famers, and postseason MVPs, that Timmy was the very last returning player introduced, brought onto the field on his own. Back in his peak years, even as the team was still…

I can’t speak for everyone’s experience, but I had a great time at the game yesterday. It was an emotional day and, although it was a “bad” game, everyone was having a great time. There was a sense that everyone was there for a greater purpose than just to see the Giants win. A victory would have been a nice sendoff,…

Back to back Cy Young’s doesn’t do it for you?

Here’s a timestamped video of the ceremony if you’d like to Remember Some Giants.

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.
