As a Mets fan I was dreading this series. Not because I’m scared of the Nats, but because watching Collins manage against Williams is borderline depressing. You didn’t even mention that Terry double switched — in the fourth inning — for Kelly Johnson, who had already hit a home run off of Scherzer, who at that point…

Skip still undefeated though!:

I almost wish Serena had done this so we could all spend the next five days reading a bunch of hilariously racist Hot Takes.

This has nothing to do with the story, but “louche” is such a great word.

“This town got a good president killed and took a bad president in after he started two goddamn wars.”

I was talking to my friend’s step daughter, who starts high school this year, about music I listened to when I was in high school/college. I mentioned Outkast’s “Stankonia.” When she said she didn’t know it, I suddenly realized — Stankonia came out 15 years ago. She wasn’t born yet. Is there a word for when you cry…

I was listening to the Dead Presidents soundtrack today. “If You Want Me To Stay” is so damn good.

The people who make the “Sharapova is just more attractive” argument are hilarious. Maria could play an entire match naked and it wouldn’t get as much attention as Serena did when she wore that catsuit.

Goddamn it. +1

“Outside of RG3, no QB wastes more energy honing his brand image than Cam Newton.”

Outside of point guard in the NBA, there might not be a position in sports right now that’s deeper than first base in MLB. Goldschmidt, Cabrera, Votto, Gonzalez, Rizzo, Freeman, and Hosmer are all great, Texeira and Pujols aren’t at their best anymore but they’re having great seasons, and even Lucas Duda is really…

The last three posts on this site are about an athlete punching a man he thought was a woman, a pair of teammates charged with rape and sexual assault, and a recent MVP accused of gang rape. Oh, and this morning three people were murdered on live television.

“I’ve been waiting to mail this goddamn package for like... nine months!”

I hate the preseason too, but I don’t think you can completely get rid of it. For a great example, look at Victor Cruz. If he hadn’t put up fantastic preseason stats, he’d have never made the Giants roster. Five months later, he was doing the salsa in the Super Bowl after a 1,500 yard season. Regular starters don’t…

So a shitty writer gets paid seven figures to single-handedly fuck up a high profile launch of an important website, and then gets hired at Fox Sports for the second time after being hired by ESPN for the second time.

This might be my favorite Isley Brothers song:

They’re setting up the Lucas/Maya thing, which makes more sense than Riley/Lucas, but it would be more exciting if Lucas had anything resembling a personality. I get that he’s the straight man, but you can be the straight man without being boring (Ben from Parks and Rec comes to mind). I don’t even know how to…
