Let’s remember some tools:

Let’s get that thread rolling with one of my favorite baseball names, John Jaha.

“who is the orange man?”

I’m sure watching it on grass makes the experience even better.

I like Ratto. He’s good and insightful, and he can occasionally turn a phrase.

Really, you just need to look at his background to see where this stuff comes from:

I’ve turned this commentary into an mp3, and I’ll fall asleep listening to it every night for the rest of my life. 

I seriously doubt that. How would a domesticated ruminant animal with a thick woolly coat and curving horns even get the internet? 

America doesn’t have a far left movement.

This, to me -- nothing against you personally -- but is sort of the apotheosis of how far from useful the fan obsession with terminology and contract arcana and all that has gone. Your analysis mentions absolutely nothing of how good he is. You just cite his age, position and contract. I mean, he’s a goddamn bozo! I…

I have deeply mixed feelings about this. I hate to agree with any plank of trans-phobic, horrible people like those above, but for me denying the advantage here goes against logic, unlike every other progressive plank I fight for.

Some blacklight posters, maybe a lava lamp.

Do people really drive around looking at houses and offer less because the neighbor 3 blocks away doesn’t have a ferrari in the driveway?

You need to read older books if you’re having trouble parsing that. 

To join the choir: Deadspin’s refusal to acknowledge the complexity here is frustrating and undermines your credibility and good work elsewhere. Whether you want to draw the line at XX versus XY, or do a clustering analysis of testosterone levels (and performance); either way there is a clear basis to exclude…

Before we start requiring women to take this drug, maybe we should discuss the merits of reducing the testosterone levels of men like Tyreek Hill, Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt.
