In a dark theater, that tiny little bright-ass screen is really noticeable, and it takes me out of the moment. If you need to text, stay home and watch movies (or go all the way to the top row where no one is sitting behind you and will see that screen while you’re texting).

Sorry, but it’s hard to focus on the big screen in front of you when there is a small, brighter, glowing screen much closer. Unless it’s an emergency, it can wait. And if it is an emergency, well then leave the theater.

Aw shit. I want to poke fun at him too. However, I can’t. Multiple tbi’s cause cumulative damage that he may pay for for the rest of his life. I don’t agree with his politics, I think he’s a cheater and he gets away with way more than he should, but the spectre of a long term neurological brain disease like CTE,…

I think you’re internalizing some insecurities on yourself by assuming they think “lazy fattie.” And I also think you’re doing the same kind of erasure you are feeling by assuming the people sitting are all jerks who aren’t being sensitive to your invisible illness. That’s the thing about invisible illnesses. People…

Bellinger is a lefty, Gutierrez/Kike/Van Slyke are all righties.

And the same number of Premier League medals as Stevie Gerrard!

Not only is he an incredible defender (on a team whose strength is arguably its defense), but his defensive versatility is absolutely essential to what they do. It is no exaggeration to say that without him — ie, without a guy who can lead the defense, enable the switching scheme on which their entire defense is…

i feel most bad for the Boston fans, who had to resort to calling Gausman things like “cracker”

I was pitching to my 3.5-year-old last night and he nailed one over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. He was so excited, jumping up and down and running around. Hurt like hell to hit him in the head with the next pitch.

Of course throwing at Machado’s head was awful but does anybody really think that was intentional rather than Barnes fucking up in his location?

The Red Sox: biggest crybabies in sports since forever. This is the same team that wanted war because Joba Chamberlain threw a ball high and on the batters box line as if it was behind (I believe) Youkilus or at his head. Even though everyone knows he used to crowd the plate. Then they turn around and scream about…

I’m surprised TD Garden didn’t start chanting “We’re not racist!”

worst take of the night? or just a bad take? not even an O’s fan here...

I went back and watched the original slide that apparently started all this mess. It was literally just about the same slide I see almost every player make. Nothing special and nothing menacing at all. I was like it’s just a fucking slide. Baseball players are literally the most pathetic pussies of any pro sport i…

You’re actually an idiot.

“Well, you see, we couldn’t throw at the other guy because it would look bad after our fans yelled racist things at him”. Baseball at its finest.  

I dislike Simmons as much as the next Deadspin Commenter, but this pretty clearly reads to me as him being pissed that bystanders let this go on.

RM were, as they say, streets ahead of Athleti in this match. Barely a contest. If Benzema had any sort of form it could have been 5 or 6 to nil.
