This is why I never, ever get mad at players for focusing on earning their max amount possible over team loyalty. Teams and owners give zero fucks about them.

It’s the end! Just kidding, it’s never the end.

I like it. Much better than every player who looks like Luke Voit playing some pop country garbage by a guy who could very well be named Luke Voit.

Who are these fuckin’ guys?

As someone who ended up in a AAA town, you should stick to this. 

EVERYTHING has gotten prohibitively expensive. Baseball and NBA used to be a cheap ticket that provided a few hours of entertainment. Now you practically have to finance a family outing (as discussed here). But everything else as well - amusement parks, ski lift tickets (yes these used to be reasonable), museums, you…

This sort of thing used to make me irrationally mad, but these days it just makes me sad more than anything. As it has in so many other critical junctions in history, baseball is merely a bellwether of society at large. What is America these days, if not a gaudy strip mall/food court where rich people/companies are…

If it wasn’t so depressing, it would be funny to watch the owners destroy the game while, through their commissioner, blame the impending destruction of the game on things like pitching changes and infield shifts.

I thought this article was going to be more sentimental towards how fans of baseball, that try to regularly attend baseball games, are being cast aside by teams for the FOMO contingent. Basically, people who care more about being seen at the stadium, as opposed to actually sitting and watching a game. But there are…

I’m sorry, did you just imply Minor Threat is ‘shitty punk rock’?  If so, you have just lost all credibility.  

Say what you will about Beto, but I will not stand idly by and let you categorize Ian MacKaye/Dischord Records as “shitty punk rock”. Them’s fightin’ words!

I don’t “know” people “there”. I AM them. They’re my family. They’re my co-workers. They’re my neighbors. I was born and raised in WV. I still live and work in WV. This isn’t some mythical “there” for me. This is HERE and NOW. I fully expect to keep getting disappointed, but not by West Virginians, but by the rest of…

What MLB doesn’t get: People who don’t like baseball aren’t going to all of a sudden fall in love with baseball because the games are 30 minutes shorter. Manfred is tearing down the sport so that MLB’s Instagram feed gets more likes. It’s incredibly short-sighted.

I’ve got a hot take about this new position player pitching rule: it’s the dumbest, worst, and most useless rule. This is already basically how position players are put on the mound probably 99% of the time anyway, and position players pitching just rules. Chris Davis getting a win ruled. Rob Manfred is the absolute…

Would we even talk about the “state of the game” if Rob Manfred and the MLB didn’t insist on continuously hammering into our brains that the game is long and boring?

Baseball’s biggest problem right now--and I’m being serious--is that the people who run it do not appear to actually enjoy the game.

LMAO, Pearl Jam is huge still. And Let’s be real, Hootie is only big because they announced a reunion tour.

Woodstock 99 was a glimpse into a future of corporate fuckery giving consumers the finger while price gouging shit out of you, aggro dudes pissed at the world treating everyone (specifically women) like shit, and a complete lack of environmental and structural awareness by everyone involved. It was a pretty fun festiva…

Don’t forget they also get to use phrases like “the original IP” that make it sound like the True Fans are actually stockholders!

There’s a lot of things I love deeply and know a lot about (Monty Python, the MCU, Star Trek, etc), but as a black woman fast approaching forty, I don’t think I get to be a “true fan” of any of those. I wanna get to be a “true fan” of something! It looks super fun. You get to be condescending on Twitter and make…
