As a group, yes. But there are a few of us good ones out there. Though we end up having to apologize for the rest. At least we’re not Cardinals fans, though.

As a fellow Braves fan, I feel like half the time I’m having to make sure people know that it doesn’t also mean I’m a right-wing, racist asshole. About the only consolation in that regard is that at least we’re not Cardinals fans. Fuck the Cardinals.

You’re proving his point, D20887.

He wasn’t even the most thrilling detestable player in their middle infield. FTFY.

Actually, any GM with half a brain (and the budget to do so) makes that deal, because it was (at the time) for an ace pitcher with 5+ years of very good statistical track record, who had virtually no prior serious injury history to speak of.

Better than Kaminsky, at least.

“Like a dude hit me” = slapped in the face. Seems about right.

He would’ve if he’d used my tried-and-true “hot ice” method of after-game therapy. You see, you heat up the ice cubes! It’s the best of both worlds!

The biggest part of the problem, for me, is how we teach and coach the game of football, and by extension, how we legislate it. Basic (legal) tackling, to me, should always involve two things: (1) your head being up, and (2) using your arms to wrap up the opponent. Doing the former, in my mind, without fail always…

As an Everton fan, Lukaku's emergence is a delight to watch. As an American, his success is a constant, painful reminder of what Jozy Altidore could've been.

After watching the entire series, I keep coming back to the fact that the problems in our justice system today are not only that it’s structured to inherently benefit whites (as opposed to any minority group, but particularly African-Americans and Latinos), but that it’s structured in a way that reveals the deep…

It’d be hard to believe Shaw wouldn’t get a decent shot in training camp and preseason next year. Not only does he deserve it (in his limited playing time over the last few years, he’s shown competence and intelligence, even if the height and athleticism may be somewhat lacking), but the Browns couldn’t do any worse…

As a Braves fan who likes to think I follow them pretty closely, I was surprised (but not completely shocked) that Simmons was traded. Coppy basically gave off the vibe at the end of the year that no one on the team was untouchable, though I think everyone assumed that excluded Freeman and (possibly) Simmons. But the…

Resolved: A baseball game is, and by right should be, a safe family outing for those with kids ages 5 or older.

The only thing 'ole Chet didn't have was that floater pitch. 'Till Henry threw it, I hadn't seen it since Scuffy McGee.
