Dusty made similar racist comments a decade ago about players of color being better suited to playing in the sun. If today’s article is any indication (presenting story about race-cringing statements without comment), watching how Deadspin covers his tenure will be fascinating.

Yeah, 14 straight is impressive. Unless you’re into years of not competing for a title, I guess.

Nobody has equated dominance in their division as “an indication of a championship caliber team”. Their World Series title is their indication of a championship caliber team.

Yes Dez, because cursing at refs during a play stoppage with an injured player laying on the ground is a great look.

Is winning their division title 14 straight seasons not dominance in their division?

Overrated? By who? They only won that 1 championship, but they did have a crazy stretch of dominance in their division that likely will never be duplicated.

Well they don’t have more pennants than the Braves, who also have 5 in that time frame (and got theirs in a fraction of the time it took the Mets to get 5).

“If that’s the case, then what is even the point of this kind of review and suspension?”

Why exactly? He had a huge 4 TD game, helped his team win and is pumped immediately afterwards, and your response is a desire to see him do poorly next week?

Not even MLB is saying Utley’s slide was malicious; in fact, they’re stating the opposite. There didn’t appear to be any intent (malice) to hurt Tejada on the slide.

Well Deadspin won’t publish his picture, so that should tell you something

So Deadspin decides to go back to publishing a picture of the perp for a college athlete charged with a sex crime. Why the sudden change of format and not a picture of the team’s helmet or stadium like in more recent published stories on this site?

With five black starters, Deadspin found a to whitewash this photo story in a way that would make the real citizens of Kentucky proud.
