A photograph of the "brawl"

Baseball "fights" are like WWE Royal Rumble: lots of shoving, fake punches, way too many people in the playing/ring at the same time, announcers freaking out, fans mildly amused, more participants coming after the start. Only difference is the winner doesn't get a shot at the WWE title at Wrestlemania.

What if... Someone options her own life story, and makes a movie about a woman suing to get her script read?

Now playing

Previously (like, five days ago) on Might As Well Be A Penalty:

OK, it sounds like your frustration is that you feel that these girlfriends are disrupting the dynamic of your group, right? So, ignoring the misogyny of your insinuation that all girls are whiny nerd wannabes, would you say that girls aren't allowed to play D&D, or that you don't want your friends bringing over

And for your information, I'm an Indian from South Asia and not a white dude. We have no white people in our group, its 3 Arabs, 1 African American, and 1 Turkish guy.

For real. I had some guy on OKC (surprisingly :|) tell me that I wasn't a nerd, I was just a pretty girl who has nerdy hobbies. I'm an astrophysicist.

Vaginas are magic and you can date whoever you want if you have one.

Oh God, I had one of those arguments thrown at me once. It was like talking to a brick wall that only spoke platitudes.

But they don't understaaaaaaaand it like I do. They probably had an easier time in high school and can date anybody they want to and don't even really "get" it, you know?

This reminds me of the shit that women get when they discuss anything else. And people wonder why women just want a modicum of acceptance in other communities like "nerd" hobbies?

My beef is that the advice never says: ASK THEM WHAT THEY MEAN.

This is outstanding advice.

Something I've learned from 12 years of dating with varying degrees of success: tell the truth. Say you like someone if you like them. Explain your position in an argument in a calm and linear way. If your partner responds badly/nonsensically to logic and honesty, or if they shut down, they are not in a place for a

I don't think actual voting will be necessary. Just wait about 3 hours and we'll know.

This is fantastic, but its very existence proves that the NUMBER ONE OVERALL SEED is Deadspin writers.

It was this comment that just made me realize I had stumbled onto Jez from Gawker.

"Selena Gomez is "two-timing" Justin Bieber with Niall Horan from One Direction. Apparently she has "1D Fever."
