That fund will be made up entirely of monies from collection plates in Missouri, Southern Illinois and Arkansas churches.

Best funds in baseball!

What tipped you off that it would be an unemotional, facts-based, traditional news item? The “Rants” tag, or the “Eat Shit” in the headline?

I don't agree that his reporting was factional.

Under, but by single digits.

Oh god, the last hate mail column was amazing. Such a smarmy bunch of assholes trying to be superior and persecuted at the same time, but obviously lacking in the education to pull it off.

This is an excellent parody of a stereotypical Cardinal fan. Very well done. The pretended myopic inability to distinguish between news and commentary, the preening smug jackassery... just spectacular work all the way around.

Could you imagine being the type of person to write a long, strongly worded email because someone made fun of your favorite sports team? Those type of people are the best! Great entertainment.

Oh god. The last hate mail column filled me with glee. I can’t wait for the next one.

Deadspin, I want you on this story like CNN was on that fucking plane. Don’t let up. I cannot overemphasize how much joy this story is bringing me.

Over/under on the number of “Cardinal Sin” headlines in newspapers tomorrow: 17,112

Red Sox fan here. Everyone gets fleeced from time to time (Amaro more than others), but asking for Bogaerts (who was a top 10 prospect in baseball at that point) in exchange for Bud Godfuckingdamn Norris should lead the other side to believe that you’re not even serious.

All that’s missing is a failed GoFundMe campaign for the team’s legal defense fund.

If you don’t hate the Cardinals, maybe you’re the one who needs to see a doctor. Just not natural.

You can’t spell #BFIB without F.B.I.

Would that be the one that said “Giants 6, Cardinals 3”?

It’s comforting, in a sense, that professional GM’s seem to make the same “Aaron Rodgers for Miles Austin, Shonn Greene, and Alex Smith” trade proposals that make all of my fantasy football leagues stagnant, mistrustful, trade-free swamps.

Ummm, knowing exactly who other teams are going after and what they’re willing to move gives you a massive advantage in the front office.

It shouldn't just be the Astros that are pissed about this. The leak put a lot of team's laundry out in the open and likely compromised relationships with players and damaged potential salary negotiations or other trades.

Hatters gonna hat.
