For me, this story is even more enhanced by the fact that classy-ass Bo Jackson came out to help Ryan out. Bo Knew Sportsmanship.

“I tried to keep it together the best I could. I couldn’t believe it. Then it was, ‘My goodness, it’s actually going to happen.’”

Went to a bark in the park event and they accidentally let off fireworks. Dog crap everywhere!

I grew up a Cincinnati Reds fan in the Schott era. It was always entertaining to watch her St. Bernards run all over the (artificial) turf pre-game and take big dumps in the outfield. We of course would cheer whenever whatever iteration of Schotzie would consecrate the field.

Brewers still want to trade Gomez. Obviously they want to counter the notion that he has a bad hip.

Mets sources are biased int he opposite direction. Taking either as gospel is dumb.

Eagerly awaiting all the people with poor reading comprehension who will see that Jezebel posted an essay on false allegations and immediately assume we are arguing that they are unimportant/nonexistent (despite this entire essay being written to say the opposite)—but I mainly came down here to say that I thoroughly…

WWF No Mercy > WCW/nWo Revenge.

MVP Baseball 2005 is number one and its not even close. I kept my xbox just so I could still play that game.

I decided to take this down.

Picking a gift is so hard. Have you considered asking her husband what she likes?

I would literally be the worst source on this suggestion, but if you’re both upset over her move, then I think a piece of forget-me-not jewelry would not be the worst thing, but I don’t think it would stand on its own as a birthday gift (more like a “till I see you next time” gift or as a supplement to a second gift).…

I just bought the gold finch for the lady. She loved it.

Books, assuming that’s something she loves.

“I’m so sick of this fu——- bu——— you c—-.”

Doesn’t the hyphen mean “until”?

I hate to be “that guy” but I think there’s been a misunderstanding. It’s actually a workout event and he’s looking for iron men.

Last Week 30 Years Ago Tonight with Bill Simmons, Part 2 of 3, (I know, it was only supposed to be 2 parts) but first, a few words about that Carmelo Trade, even though that was only 4 years ago and not 30, but, stick with me, you’ll see why I’m bringing it up

One morning, shortly after I had been hired full time, one of our editorial fellows, Dan, sent an email to Tommy and me, explaining that he would be a little bate late getting into work because he’d been mugged the night before, and was still sort of getting himself together. Tommy emailed him back, telling him to…

You’re definitely not the only person to catch this. At first it almost seemed like an issue with the ESPN feed, but it became apparent that Frazier was getting pitches well before his HRs were landing. In his 2nd round (I turned over to USA v Panama at that point) it seems like they were told to tone it down a little…
