Has anyone asked Kyrie about this? If you’re reading, Kyrie, this is a great opportunity to show up LeBron, run with it man!!

Yes, I am clearly implying that the umpire should let Gary Sanchez have a say in whether the pitches are balls or strikes. I’m definitely not just acknowledging that players’ reactions are among the pieces of information that influence an umpire’s perception of an event.

The official was wrong, because the player was an asshole. The official realized the player’s assholery made him wrong. So he called him out. The system works!

Yeah, no. The ump made the call here because Sanchez’s acting made him think it was a foul ball. This is absolutely how it is supposed to work. Sanchez is an idiot for thinking he’d get any calls the rest of that at bat after that bullshit.

Totally unrelated, but I feel like it’s worth saying given the Splinter bullshit today, and this is probably one of the most-read articles on the site so I’m saying it here...

The new ads are so aggressive and over-the-top that I’m going out of my way to NOT patronize the companies advertised. I actually used to use…

While visiting New York awhile back, I ended up talking to this cute girl in line for the bathroom at a bar in Crown Heights. Very briefly, for maybe a minute, but in that time she told me her plan was to move to Hawaii to become a doula. I said “Ah, cool” or something like that. When I came out of the bathroom, I…

Didn’t someone make this same mistake in the playoffs recently, or maybe even the World Series? Getting major deja vu from this comment section.

I’m not some Hockey Knower, but I think the Granlund/Fiala and Coyle/Donato trades weren’t that bad? Got guys with similar production who are a few years younger, and Grandlund/Coyle/Niederreiter all seemed to have plateaued (which may say more about our system/player development, I dunno). And I say that as a homer…

Can anyone confirm whether they did or did not lose their DH?

This article is remiss in not including Sano’s bomb to take the lead in the 8th.

I stand by my “bizarre interpretation.” The correction makes less sense now. It now reads “note ‘the’”; why should “the” still have quotes? The original “no ‘the’ lowercase ‘m’” makes more sense because it’s a bizarre choice not to have your team referred to as “the <nickname>,” not just to spell it with a lowercase…

She means that the team was not to be referred to as “The magicJack,” just “magicJack.” No “the.” 

Thanks for doing the important work of rushing to try and point out where the lady reporter made a mistake, though. Don’t know what we’d do without people like you.

How the hell did he only get 13 carries? Did they only have 13 plays on offense?

I had a schadenfreude boner after the first missed free throw.

Fuck this guy.

You’d think they’d be running away from the action. I certainly wouldn’t want there to be video evidence of me attending an Orlando City soccer match.

Wiggins for Westbrook straight up. Who says no?

Made this same comment above, but they actually claim that the name comes from buttering the bun, not doing anything to the patty. Not sure if I believe that, personally.

They actually claim that the name ButterBurger stems from their practice of buttering the bun, not from any butter used in making the burger itself. I don’t know if I believe that, and I don’t care, because they are amazing.

But the reasons for those rules, respectively, are “We need to define when balls are in play,” “We need to delineate where shots are worth more points,” and “We need to define when a score occurs.” Strict adherence to the line is essential to the objective of the rule (which is why it makes sense that we have actual…
