I love Sonia Sotomayor going with a brush-back pitch.

Did no-one tell you the LH writers are psychic? They always make these posts just when we need them.

He did.

I had the same reaction! Same with Manny coming out of the monster, that was an obvious reference as well.

Brett Kern was immediately, randomly tested for steroids.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU ARE TRYING TOO HARD

Opponent: I can't believe that something as important as this, which a ton of people disagree with, isn't even open for debate. It's just a huge slap in the face to a whole group of people.

Here's the thing. We do not now, nor ever want your sorry ass as an ally. Our needs, our movement, our activism does not revolve around flattering your ego so that you deign to throw some tepid support our way. Aligning oneself with a progressive social movement that advocates for justice and equality towards an…

Wow. Just wow. The transphobia is strong in this thread.

Long time vegetarian here and this absolutely does happen. Given the choice I would prefer not to talk about it at all, it almost always leads to tension and conflict.

The number of horses (and for that matter jockeys) who have died on the track when no ethical human being would have let them so much as gallop is…

"all we can do, in her sacrifice, is to make sure that it never happens again."

I reject the idea of horse racing. The end.

I made it through 2 Hawk Harrelson "He Gone" calls and had to shut it off. Sorry, Deadspin, not your fault.

Is it at all possible for that "he gone" to be any more irritating?

You have no idea what you are talking about. Pedro was the best pitcher ever by the eye test and the numbers from 1999-2001. Look at his ERA+ compared to the rest of the league. It is insane, no pitcher has ever put up numbers so much better than his piers.
