McC love from Deadspin
Deadspin took some time away from their wall-to-wall Bill Simmons coverage to link to yesterday's Tim Lincecum graphic here at McCoven. The post was written by Rick Chandler, who I'm pretty sure lives around here (he always seems to interrupt Deadspin's normal programming with Bay Area-centric fare). Along with the link and some stuff about The Unit, he also added Lincecum's quote from yesterday, "I just have to take this effort with a grain of rice."

The comments are pretty dumb there. A sampling:
Barry Zito is happy he’ll have company in the overpaid and underperforming corner of the dugout
- I assume this is referring to Randy, which makes no sense.
Big Unit Is Giants’ Go-To Guy…to where? The DL? Giants and Padres: Last one to 50 wins gets contracted.
- Moron
Now if only they could sign Mel Ott to hit some home runs the Giants would be set.
- Classic joke, he should write for sitcoms
I don’t think it had anything to do with Randy Johnson. I think it was because nobody in San Francisco gives a rat’s ass about sports.

Just goes to show...
You have to bring you A-game if you want to be invited to comment on Deadspin. Your “sitcom” comment is probably right, as most of these guys are probably frustrated TV writers.

I like the writing on Deadspin. Makes me laugh. Also, you are right about the commentary there; they aren’t that bright.
Good to see there was some love offered though, since this is the second time in like 3 days we have mentioned them here with a fanshot.

The Deadspin commentators are barely one step up from sfgate.com

I believe it’s called the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Thank you, PA.

The Internet is great at coming up with communities in MCC, where there’s a small, self-selected population that’s smart, interested in the subject, and articulate. But with places like newspaper websites, the audience is just too broad and stupid to produce intelligent discourse.

And hence you witness how stupid the general population is
Just think, half the people in this country are below average intelligence.
truism as it might be, it’s a little frightening.

Wasn't that an old Carlin joke?
Something like:
“You know what’s scarry? Think of how dumb the average person is. Now consider that, statistically, half the people are even dumber. Wow.”

And I’d like to say that I’m very grateful to NoScript for blocking Deadspin comments! :D

If you want to read hilariously inane and homeristic commentary, read the Boston Globe’s website. When Wes Welker got hit it was like the second coming of Pearl Harbor.

Because it is owned by Gawker, Deadspin tries so hard to live up to the snark-monster of its parent. Maybe too hard, because but it comes across allllll wrong.

Deadspin is fun! I used to get offended by internet comments about my own sacred cows, but I either relaxed or just became desensitized. Don’t take them so personally, and appreciate the diamonds of wit in the vast expanse of coal.
Or don’t. I suppose it doesn’t matter either way.

As proprietor of the site that won Deadspin’s Third-Best San Francisco Giants Blog Award, I have to ask that the Deadspin-bashing stop.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
