are you on the DL and want to fly to Guatemala to adopt a kid? Too loving bad, according to Steve Rosenbloom. That means you have disrespected the team!

For now, the story is that Zambrano threw a bullpen at Wrigley instead of in Washington because the Cubs didn’t want the big goof to further hurt or strain his back sitting on an airplane. This spasm of lucidity could impact the Cubs’ chances reaching first place in the Frickin' Idiot League.

Now get a load of this: Zambrano plans to fly to Guatemala over the All-Star break to prepare for the adoption of his son. Can you say “utter disrespect,’’ boys and girls?

What’s more, the Cubs have not said they will stop him. Dopes all around, it looks like. Zambrano continues to clown his team the way he clowned his manager with that bat-over-the-knee-episode and the team apparently says, “Thank you, sir, may I have another?’’

I can't even fathom what must be wrong with someone to hold opinions like this.

Why did I know that O'Connor wrote that even before I looked?

Im not disagreeing with the overall point but you seriously think Wily Mo Pena could put up an .828 OPS?

he's done it before. Twice, actually.

I don't see any pressing reason for them to have released her name or anything, but why is everyone assuming that it was done for misogynistic reasons rather than just hoping that someone out there had some insight into what was probably a pretty interesting backstory?

Deadspin has always been misogynistic, most notably the Jen Sterger and Inez Sainz stories.

They may well have been, I haven't read it in...years now I guess, but I don't see anything with this that beats me over the head with misogyny. It may be a safe guess to think that, but I don't think its fair to label this as such.

Transfatuation posted:

I disagree that there's much of a story to be mined from this; if anyone did have any insight into the inner workings of the relationship, they surely wouldn't need a name and link to someone they presumably already knew. The specific misogyny aspect is more from reputation / the internet in general, but I get the feeling that if the person holding the sign was not a young female it would have attracted substantially less attention than it has vv

I'd be curious to know the backstory just for my own amusement. I don't think throwing a link to her facebook is something that should be done, but you never know who may be tangentially connected to her. I've found people on facebook that I have a think tangential connection to that I never would have guessed, so maybe the thought was a situation like that might come up and then someone worked through their chain of friends and found something out. I doubt that was why, the real reason was probably "just because", but like I mentioned earlier, even if they do have a history of misogyny, there isn't anything here that jumps out at me as obvious misogyny. I'd be fairly surprised if they had a guy with a similar sign about an ex-girlfriend and they didn't do the same thing.

I just...holy poo poo.

How do you think Dave Concepcion is worthy of the HoF, and NOT Barry Larkin?

CBS hired Jim Rome and is apparently having him involved in pretty much all of their coverage across sports

I don't know if I can handle Jim Rome during the NCAA tournament. Or anything else really, but especially the tournament.

I feel like its almost redundant to post a Shaughnessy article, but this motherfucker seriously wrote this:
It was a spectacular 60 minutes of football, not decided until a kicker from Harlan, Iowa, missed a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left on the clock. Thank you, Billy (Buckner) Cundiff.

the world would be a much better place when people stop giving a poo poo about who is loving who so long as everyone involved is of age and a willing participant

I dunno dude I think if someone makes a commitment to another person and then fucks someone else without first ending the commitment that is pretty morally not cool.

it is, but that should stay between the people involved.
