  1. Baseball in the Olympics sucks because it's in the summer amd it would horsefeathers with real baseball if we wanted the actual good players to play. Add it to the Winter Olympics and play it indoors and I'm on board.
  2. Man, I don't even go that far; it's a totally legit thing, but it's weird/dumb to have animal competitions in the Olympics.
  3. nope, but she was offended when I showed the article to her. Yeah, I showed it to a friend of mine who is similarly, uh, horse-defensive and now I don't think she'll be talking to me for a while. All I did was say it was funny, dammit.
  4. Man, I'm not scared of the Cardinals at all; I just don't want them to even know the joy of just getting to the playoffs.
  5. I think it's a safe bet they were all dressed like this:
  6. No, because they don't make those games anymore.
  7. http://m.giants.mlb.com/sf/video/v1027865183/sfmia-posey-slides-awkwardly-and-lands-facefirst/?affiliateId=clubMEGAMENU That's probably what most of us would look like if we tried a headfirst slide. As per usual, Asian baseball players do it with much more flair:
  8. Well, at least Posey actually is an awesome player.
  9. Rocket, time to confess if Mrs. Rocket actually wrote one of these: http://deadspin.com/dead-letters-the-horse-people-are-furious-1784987429
  10. fluke world series run or not, nah and looking at it in such a binary way ("going to the playoffs once") really helps your position, but is pretty disingenuous. the 2011 and 12 bears were very good, maybe great, teams that got royally [expletive] by bad luck. I was once like you. The acceptance will come. And the White Sox thing was a slam on how terribly the teams are run, not some kind of scientific argument as to which team is actually better, you loon.
  11. this is all garbage they've been a mess a handful of other teams have done worse but we were all relieved when their incompetence had a touch of professionalism last year. it's a huge bummer I agree its not a great organization but my point was that its not one that's tempting me to bail on them. If I was a Browns fan or a Bills fan or a Dolphins fan or even a 49ers fan (yes they can make the same 'on field success' argument that I made about the Bears but I would argue that their FO and ownership make the Bears general incompetent ownership look like the Patriots in comparison), I could understand it. I lost count of the myriad of ways we can breakdown how this franchise has been garbage for at least 20 years now. Going to the playoffs once since the Super Bowl loss? Consecutive winning seasons a whopping ONCE in the last twenty? Blargh. It's too bad that even the Cubs finally winning the WS won't cast this collection of walking debacles down as the bums they are. The White Sox should be more popular than the Bears.
  12. Excellent.
  13. It's pretty damn good; basically give me Magary or give me death.
  14. Yaaaaaaay! I still go to Deadspin out of habit, but this series is the only thing I look forward to on there.
  15. I'm on board with whole win streak thing, but liking your own post?
  16. I think the answer is obvious:
  17. It doesn't bug as much when some like, say, Castro would stink. The guy's just so likable, plus, like you said, he still brings value.
  18. Disagree. Spiegel and Goff, and even Boers and Bernstein are miles better than what Murph was doing. [spoil]http://i.giphy.com/Qqq8b2K5qsg8M.gif[/spoil]
  19. It's not like what's on the air now is much better.
  20. Damn right, even though I just looked up his splits, and everything about his second half numbers managing to somehow be even WORSE made me scream and melt like I just looked at Ark. .169 .231 .254 .484 http://i.giphy.com/xT5LMqcLeP78ukYBu8.gif
  21. I just assume Mike North pretends to call people with a fishbone to his ear from the trashcan he lives in.
  22. Banning Derwood seems fair. Stern...but fair. I guess just letting him pick someone else from the same category with the same or lower HR total makes the most sense.
  23. Heck yeah, he gets the standing O on the road.
