"I don't talk about people. I talk about ideas. Like the idea that black people are inferior to white people."

Goddamnit, Deadspin. Don't you even know? One of his best friends, WHO IS BLACK, is about to graduate in psychology, asked him to say those things so he can have responses.

Jonah Keri did some numbers on a couple of his stolen bases last season, and figured out that Pedro Martinez throwing to Pudge Rodriguez wouldn't be fast enough to throw him out. So yes, with an average, break, it's pretty much impossible.

Can he bunt? I'm waiting for someone to be fast enough and dedicated enough (i.e., hopeless enough w/ the bat otherwise) to try to defy conventional bunting wisdom. I don't know if there's room for overlap between "not good enough to bother with a full swing" and "viable major leaguer" but it'd be neat to watch…

+1 Ask Tony Campana how far 'wheels' will take you alone in the bigs. (spoiler: not very)

Very excited about Hamilton, but unless his ability to hit the ball improves, he'll be back in Louisville quicker than he runs the bases.

I heard the other day that if he gets a good break, its physically impossible for the catcher to throw him out due to the reaction time it would take the catcher to get the ball to 2nd.

"If it's the first one, you're cheering for laundry."

Don't get as drunk on cheap beer as I am on my own power.

I'm dead inside,

Derek the UConn RA is an ass. "[Y]ou're cheering for laundry." Dude, some of that laundry occasionally shows up for my International Business class. And one time that laundry said "hey" to me when I gave him his change from the cafeteria doing work study. I like laundry a lot more than the guy who is asking me to…

I don't understand the outrage here. Student inappropriately yelled out at the teacher, disrupted class, etc. One hour of detention for disrupting class, especially if totally unprovoked, was what most teachers in my high school would have given out...

Kids today don't listen to authority much at all. If you let one kid act that way, then you're dealing with others. From what I see in testing, there's not enough learning going on anyway in school, and I don't think there's an Olympic hockey class in many schools. Go to school and learn something you can use when…

Exactly. The bar the arbitration has to meet isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt." It's "is there just cause for discipline and was the discipline meted out appropriate for the offenses actually committed?"

This is all sorts of stupid.

1. ARod did it.

So you believe a conspiracy theory that these two somehow concocted a massive and deliberate hoax with years worth of tweeting between the two just so they could fake Lennays death on the same day as his grandmothers death and thus spurring him to get somewhat close to winning the Heisman is the more likely scenario?…

The crazy thing about the Manti "truthers" is that they say they can't believe that Manti fell in love with a woman he met online, but they believe that he fell in with a man he never met, online.
