OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I mean if we heard about the Cardinals playing "Turning Japanese" and "Kung Fu Fighting" with their lone Asian player do you really think we'd let it slide?

I said the same thing in teh Slack the day it was happening. It was humorous, in a way, but we should be aware of how it looks on the outside. And on the outside, it was a bad look.

Last time I checked it was not illegal to vote Republican, (not that I would, or ever have).  From my experience most professional athletes are conservative and are in the higher tax brackets.  So it follows that they identify with politicians on the right (not in the sense of correct) side of the political spectrum.  I don't admire them because of their political acumen, but rather for their athletic ability.

I think it depends on the sport, too. Baseball is a sport of conservatives, for sure. They're Jesus-y and white


Are you suggesting that the NFL is home for a bunch of lefties?

I'm reminded of Charles Barkley's quote from 1992, wherein Sir Charles' mother asked him why the hell he'd vote for George HW Bush since he's "for the rich":

"But mom, I *am* rich"

Dolan and I got called out by BP Wrigleyville's Mussolini today. So I guess I've finally made it.

Oh, hell yes!  Now I need to go find that and get the background.  It's shit like this that makes Twitter worthwhile.

The background is that Dolan and myself have a lot of followers and this guy is SO sensitive he thinks we're ruining the serious tenor of his amazing website.

For what it's worth, much like most of what Trueblood and those guys usually say, it's not that they are asking completely stupid questions. "Is this the best Cubs roster ever assembled?" is a fair question, you can look at preseason projections and depth charts for past Cubs teams and say why this is, on paper, the best they've put together. It's a fair thought exercise. The way they say these things is just so irritating.

I mean in this case they used a clickbait headline, got called out for it, and reacted with butthurt. In other cases they take a perfectly defensible argument (Cubs should not extend Arrieta, for example) and just talk about it in a way that's so off-putting or condescending it immediately ends all conversation and makes you want to stuff them in lockers (Trueblood responding to said discussion of not extending Arrieta with "if the Cubs are having any significant discussions about Arrieta this offseason I hope it's gauging his trade value not extending him").

Stop thinking you're the smartest guys in the room, please, or at least stop being so defensive when people say you aren't.

It would appear the entire staff of BPW has been quietly stewing in butthurt over Slaky and Andy for some time, and today they finally HAD IT, man.

He can't even be mad right. He's glad you engaged and even his tweet directed at me and Dolan was followed by "I agree with like 90 percent of what you say".

He disagreed with me by saying that clickbait is how he pays his writers, then went into my profile and liked a bunch of my tweets. Stop being nice, you friendly asshole.

The new generation has no idea how to fight a blogwar. In our day, men were men and they fought about stupid shit on the internet until actual, real life hatred was the result.

In my day we used to go to their blogs and post an ungodly amount of gay porn. That's the bleacher nation way.
