Don’t really see effort like this anymore in the comments section.

How dare deadspin publish a post by Mr. Petchesky, with his slavic sounding name, on this, the 5th anniversary of the Ljubljana Marshes hot air balloon crash in Slovenia. I am aghast at the insensitivity.

So you’re against fun? You’re against seeing someone do something that most people can’t do? Duly noted.

Not saying Judge is going to be the Babe... but Ruth led the league in strikeouts 5 times, and placed in the top 5 in strikeouts in the AL 4 more times—including leading the league in strikeouts in his epic 1927 season.

I sat in that exact section of Citi Field when the Mets were playing the Dodgers in the 2015 division series. Looking to home plate, I specifically remember thinking that it would be impossible for someone to hit a baseball that far.

I think they’re setting it up for Tyrion to rescue him/take him prisoner.

he wasn’t paying attention to the positioning of the first baseman, the trajectory of the ball, the timing of the play, and his coaches and teammates.

You just said he “misread the first baseman’s positioning,” now you’re saying he misread the play. There’s a massive difference.

I said the whole time he misread the play — first comment says “no eyes in the back of his head.”

Matt Holliday misread the first baseman’s positioning, which is exactly what both Holliday and I have been saying...yet somehow you refuse to “entertain the option”

It’s pretty easy to defend the first point by conceding that Nadal is the god of clay and is simply immortal on that surface, and that Federer has a winning record against him on every other surface, and the head-to-head is skewed because Federer was good enough on his least favorite surface to make it to all those…

First basemen often choose to step on first base before throwing to second. Happens all the time. It is not “some bizarre reason.”

Okay, again, you’re missing the fact that Holliday DID NOT KNOW whether the force was removed.

Holliday is either dead out at second base, or he returns to first safely to avoid the double play.

I’m fucking dying that that correction is real life. Who says journalism is dead?

Whoa there, tiger. You get all that sound reason and logic out of here. This is SUPER racist and don’t you question it.

Because she was also victim of the rule in the story, and a photo of the kids wouldn’t get clicks like the highest profile player in the tournament. It’s really kind of reaching to suggest it was intentional. The header pic from the story isn’t chosen by the tweet writer, so they likely linked the URL and can’t see…

it’ll be harder for him on these other surfaces, it always is. it’s not an accident that he has 10 French Open titles and 5 Grand Slams at the others combined.

My wife did the same thing a few years ago. We’ve yet to play, but we have been doing some nice Wimbledon roleplay. She comes into the room wearing all white except for a black garter belt. I then yell at her and consult a handbook. Needless to say, it gets pretty hot.

My girlfriend bought us tennis rackets for my birthday.
