Getting back into a baseball game after you’ve already exited the stadium? That’s the very definition White privilege.

He’s on the field at the same time as Matt Ryan. 

My bet:  a cheap camera, cheap laptop, cheap necklace, and a bag full of $500,000.

“And Suzy died so bravely, filming the very tsunami that took her from us”

Design meeting:

“What should the failure mode be for the wave generator?”
“Nothing, it should just die quietly and stop functioning.”
“We could do that. Or.. and hear me out on this one...”

counterpoint: fuck the cubs

Tears ACL in week 16, after clinching wildcard spot, loses to Texans 15-6 in first round of playoffs sounds closer to the truth.

I went to an Orioles game at Camden Yards a couple weeks ago, and was actually very impressed by the lack of the usual flag-humping cop and soldier idolatry that goes on at the usual American sporting event these days. Around the 5th inning, when other ballgames I’ve been to usually honors some veteran by thanking him…

he is entitled to think its not political in the same way i am entitled to think its absolute bullshit.

It’s sort of surprising that Kolasinac was even in position to defend the attack, rather than being way too far forward.

“In the building” is also a pretty solid summary of my average day at work.

It’s fine and the people who complain about it are much more annoying than the thing itself.

I knew a guy who spent a summer - two months! - in England, and came back with the accent. On top of that, he would say things like "Do you have any crisps, or as you would say, chips?" But after a couple of beers he'd forget and his Wisconsin accent was back.

They could have run him over with the bullpen cart.

Quietly accepting the unwritten rules of baseball is against the unwritten rules of baseball.

“It will never be done again...” as in the future.

Fair, but a much easier feat with 8 teams in the entire league.

You see, this is why I’m moving on from Deadspin and their constant focus on politcs and heading more and more over to the Ringer where they are talking about the things that really matter to me as a sports fan like which Rom-Com from 2003 holds up the best.
