Well…that didn’t take long. I knew it was bound to happen, but even I, who is surprised that we’ve gotten to the point where baseball games are being played at all, thought it might take a little longer than like four days for everyone to start getting Coronavirus. Two major league games scheduled for Monday …

Deadspin Is Back, At Least In Name
When last we spoke of Deadspin, dumb ass ownership was doing its level best to fuck the whole thing up. And shortly after I posted that, it succeeded. The entire editorial staff quit, and the site went silent for nearly four months. But as of a few days ago, it is no longer silent. It’s …
I Wish I Was This Kid
I’m always a little jealous when sports teams have kids up to the booth to do public address announcing. I never got to do that when I was young, and I always thought that if I had the chance I would have crushed it. But crush it though I may have, I would almost certainly …
That’s Not What They Meant When They Told You To Get The Head Out
Not sure how poor Reese McGuire is ever going to live this one down. Any time a commentator makes a reference to choking up on the lumber or getting some good wood on that ball, this is all anybody’s going to be thinking about. And don’t even get me started on what he might be …

No, MLB. More Playoff Teams Will Not Make Things Better
MLB plotting playoff expansion — with reality TV twist MLB is seriously weighing a move from five to seven playoff teams in each league beginning in 2022, The Post has learned. In this concept, the team with the best record in each league would receive a bye to avoid the wild-card round and go directly …

Not Sure How Well That Goes With Cracker Jacks, But I’m Not Here To Judge
Here’s Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy ever so slightly messing up the words to Take Me Out To The Ballgame during a Cubs Reds game last season. Sing it loud, sing it proud, Coach Nagy!#BearDown pic.twitter.com/jqDE55FcFn — Bears on CHSN (@CHSN_Bears) July 17, 2019 It’s impossible to know for sure of course, but that sounds …

Well, He Did Ask For A Maple Leaf Cake…
https://www.facebook.com/tania.levesque.50/posts/10157458190500862 A Mascouche, Que., family is laughing off an error by their local bakery that marred their son’s eighth birthday celebration last weekend. They had requested a cake with the Toronto Maple Leafs logo for Jacob, a diehard Leafs fan — just like the cake he’d received for previous birthdays. Jacob’s stepmother, Tania Lévesque, said the bakery told her …
You Guys Suck A Babcock
Well. That escalated quickly. I wasn’t sure Mike Babcock was going to last the year coaching the Leafs, but I didn’t think he was going to get fired yesterday, either. But I suppose now is as good a time as any, what with the team’s six game losing streak, the sub .500 record, the lack …
I Respect Don Cherry
No, not because of what he said. It, like a lot of other things he’s come out with through the years, is ignorant at best. What I appreciate and yes, even respect is that he’s refusing to apologize for it in order to save his own skin. If you don’t like Don Cherry’s stupid opinion, …
Dumb People Are Trying To Ruin Deadspin
I know it’s dumb people, because if your grand idea is to buy something that’s both unique and popular and then set about draining it of much of what makes it unique and popular, you are a dumb person. Deadspin works precisely because it doesn’t stick to sports. Don’t get me wrong, it can be …
