That’s kind of you to write “after a while,” because I seem to remember it taking about 6 games.

So it was actually Good Football?

I hope Joel Embiid is taking notes.

I’ve thought a lot about this before, but in the context of a home run. As in: Could a player ever choose to, say, stay on 2nd base after hitting a home run instead of rounding the bases and scoring a run. For instance, if the next batter in the lineup bats much better with runners in scoring position than with the…

I don’t know. I’m giving him until 2020 (early 2020) until his schtick wears completely thin and we’re all saying “Yo, Joel, give it a rest.” See: Dwight Howard.

He’s right about the dust though.

That’s not too far from the truth. I can’t speak for any specific year (or this year), but Eden Prairie is generally one of the powerhouses in the state.

Love seeing the classics come out for a spin every now and then.

Hah. I’m sorry to hear that, but I get it. In fact, I did the same thing just a few days later after ALDS game 2 when Joe Nathan blew the save in the 9th by giving up a (depressingly predictable) 2 run homer to fucking A-Rod. A friend of mine had people over to watch that game, and I still regret some of the things…

YES YES YES! I love this.

Yes! I thought that same thing! It’s uncanny.

That’s a good point, but I tend to agree with the three other replies here; they wanted (needed?) to Win Now, and Love helped them do that. Wiggins has had a rough early start to his career, and he wouldn’t have necessarily helped them get that ring (which, really, could’ve been 3 had they not walked right into the…

It’s this sort of magic that makes me want to scream when anyone tries to advocate for bringing the DH to the NL. No no no.

If Deadspin would finally just put this up on the masthead you wouldn’t have to type it so often.

I fucking love October baseball.

This is a correct take.

I know Deadspin has mostly tried to defend Cam as “fun as hell” and “cool as hell” or whatever else as hell over the last few years, mostly as a counterbalance to whatever old-pearl-clutching-white-sportswriters were calling him a dickhead, but can we all agree that maybe he’s just actually been a dickhead this whole…

Jesus.

There’s a lot of Jersey Mikes in the midwest. And in my opinion, they’re far and away the best fast food sandwich chain. I only started eating it a few months ago, so maybe I’ll get sick of it, but Im 100% ride or die for Jersey Mikes right now.
