- digg it
- bravo1995, on 07/19/2008, -18/+288I see what Chris Duncan, AP sports writer, did there.
- isewise, on 07/20/2008, -1/+15http://www.filedropper.com/welldone
- Poppeseed, on 07/21/2008, -1/+7After being in the news business for 3+ years, story writers rarely ever, if at all, write headlines for their stories. Page designers write the headlines to fit the space available and the story weighting (ie more important stories w/ bigger headlines on top).
- MaximusD, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3True -- it's highly unlikely Duncan wrote that headline. But there is still an editor that let that go to print...
- BSeffrood, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1He didn't the designer changed it
- RTourn, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2I always wondered what Yoda would sound like having sex.
- sovietninja, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1That is sick and wrong.
- insaincain02, on 07/20/2008, -45/+82That's what she said
- bornahokie, on 07/20/2008, -4/+14a. that's what she said.
b. i wanted it to be incredible. - bornahokie, on 07/20/2008, -40/+3whoever put -1 diggs to thats what she said is SUPER LAME!
- Grimi, on 07/20/2008, -9/+2yes insaincain02 that was the joke
- jair428, on 07/21/2008, -3/+2no... thats what HE said...
- doitchinkstyle, on 07/21/2008, -7/+0thats what your mama say...
after i bang herrrrr
last time i left this comment i was dugggg down. its a joke guyzz!- seanc6610, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3well now you're 0 for 2. maybe it's just not funny.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Oh my god. Go back to grade school. Please!
- bornahokie, on 07/20/2008, -4/+14a. that's what she said.
- Zarokima, on 07/20/2008, -11/+6811: there's a pictures section now
2: the description kills/spoils the joke- gapingass, on 07/20/2008, -6/+117To bad we can't bury the description
- versionist, on 07/21/2008, -1/+64Yeah, that's two bad.
- dmackay14, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1HILARIOUS. Aint nothin more important then grammar!
- mowe, on 07/21/2008, -3/+11You can see it clearly in the preview, anyway ...
- jair428, on 07/21/2008, -3/+4sooooo what should it read?
- Jugador12, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3anything else maybe?
- dmackay14, on 07/21/2008, -3/+6easy now crabby pants. no need to cry.
- Hakonan, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1And so does the preview picture. What's your point?
- hollywoodphony, on 07/21/2008, -3/+2"Wah wah wah!"
That's you. That's what you sound like.
- gapingass, on 07/20/2008, -6/+117To bad we can't bury the description
- C4Strife, on 07/20/2008, -16/+9Jeez poor Madonna's getting left out again.
- SuperWinner, on 07/20/2008, -37/+11What the ***** is an A-rod?
- MasterThief117, on 07/20/2008, -4/+28It must be fun living in that cave.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 07/20/2008, -8/+12Cave = Outside of America...
I only know who he is because I watch American news as well as Canadian... - Tenlow, on 07/20/2008, -12/+5While I know who Alex Rodriguez is, I agree with SuperWinner: What the ***** is an A-Rod? It's a stupid nickname and he should feel stupid whenever people call him that.
- fool13, on 07/20/2008, -7/+4Sounds like someones jealous they don't have a nickname. It's ok, we can call you dumbass.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 07/20/2008, -8/+12Cave = Outside of America...
- facelesscoward, on 07/20/2008, -1/+16Presumably a baseball player whose first name starts with an 'a' and whose last name begins with 'rod.' A quick Wikipedia search reveals him to be Alex Rodriguez, "a power-hitting third baseman for the New York Yankees baseball club."
- vat0r, on 07/20/2008, -1/+8Your presumptive powers are impressive Jedi.
- rudeboyskunk, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10Dugg because that is one of the most hilarious responses ever to a sub-par article.
- nedzeve, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4Arguably the best player in professional baseball today (though, it's hard for me to admit that as he's not on my team and he's kinda a jerk, his numbers speak for themselves).
- MasterThief117, on 07/20/2008, -4/+28It must be fun living in that cave.
- thechosen, on 07/20/2008, -7/+99Break has an image section?
- netgeek06, on 07/20/2008, -11/+1That a creative one.
- tramblings, on 07/20/2008, -22/+532Please. Don't. Use. A. Period. After. Every. Word. In. The. Title. Because. It's. Lame. Thanks.
- Alex2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+103Give.. William.. Shatner.. a.. Break!
- rudeboyskunk, on 07/20/2008, -1/+57And let, Christopher--Walken--de...cide to, READ it, in-stead!
- denizen42, on 07/20/2008, -31/+3Get. A. Life.
- Cloud7654, on 07/21/2008, -2/+4Alright, now you're just going overboard Alex2.
- shzdeR, on 07/20/2008, -4/+79FALSE.
Bears.
Beets.
Baseball Headline.- Coolmatt49, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4The Beets?! KILLER TOFU!
- timmyrich, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I like to eat my sugared cereal...
- houndeyex, on 07/20/2008, -2/+8It doesn't sound right when you say it. "Baseball headline" has way too many syllables.
- h0ms4r, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3So did "Battlestar Gallactica."
- dvicklund, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if anything, baseball headline has far fewer syllables than Battlestar Galactica.
- im2emo4myshrt, on 07/20/2008, -3/+19That's pretty hypocritical of you.
- tas08, on 07/20/2008, -0/+27It took me about 12 seconds to read your comment. I kept having to pause after all those damn periods, it's very irritating you know!
- nnagflar, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2You could actually use one more period to separate those two independent clauses.
- spidoman, on 07/20/2008, -5/+11He. didn't. there. isn't. a. peroid. between. baseball. and. headline.
Just. saying. - otto989, on 07/21/2008, -5/+1dugg for hypocrisy
- Computer_Kid, on 07/21/2008, -3/+3Worst... Headline.... Ever....
- MaddieCakes, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Now read that with Comic Book Guy in your head.
- jimmick, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1HOLY *****
STEVIE CONVENTION
- Alex2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+103Give.. William.. Shatner.. a.. Break!
- vsujohn2, on 07/20/2008, -22/+63Oh i get it, your penis goes in and it gets hurt? So its like a joke right?
- MrDo, on 07/20/2008, -0/+58A hurting penis is no joke.
- chrishirsch, on 07/21/2008, -12/+2^lol
and its funnier than your joke - NOFXY, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1unless you're a clown
- Azohko, on 07/20/2008, -20/+2I don't think this is real, only because this headline makes no sense. Not in a real paper.
- alexj306, on 07/20/2008, -0/+18Yes it does, A-rod hit a homerun and Chien-Ming Wang was injured.
- ScottMitchell, on 07/20/2008, -3/+70Dugg. What can I say? I'm a sucker for juvenile double entendres.
- temporaryescape, on 07/20/2008, -4/+22Inaccurate. A rod going deep would not result in the wang getting hurt.
- josephbloseph, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6It could happen, you know, in the dismount
- thumperings, on 07/20/2008, -1/+8or if the dugout had a low ceiling.
- rudeboyskunk, on 07/20/2008, -0/+34Apparently you've never been to Singapore.
- josephbloseph, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6It could happen, you know, in the dismount
- Bobitheus, on 07/20/2008, -12/+3Oh. What's this?
http://digg.com/baseball/Pic_A_Rod_Goes_Deep_Wang_ ...
I can't believe it happened TWICE.- SRSco, on 07/20/2008, -7/+3I'll digg the other one instead because it doesn't link to Break.com and it. doesn't. have. that. lame. headline. with. periods. This one just gets buried.
- tas08, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Well, I'd actually rather digg this one because at least the title doesn't completely ruin the post.
- DonCreech, on 07/20/2008, -10/+4A-rod was always a risk-taker. That's one hell of an error.
- LongShlong, on 07/20/2008, -22/+9Buried for still being about baseball.
- sleeknerve, on 07/20/2008, -4/+6Buried for burying for being about baseball.
- LongShlong, on 07/20/2008, -10/+4Might I interest you in watching paint dry, or watching flies *****?
I'm sure you'll find them highly amusing! - josephbloseph, on 07/20/2008, -4/+0Soon to be buried for burying you for burying long for burying baseball
- EvilCan, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3So, what are you one of those soccer (oh, excuse me...FOOTBALL) fans?
- LongShlong, on 07/20/2008, -10/+4Might I interest you in watching paint dry, or watching flies *****?
- rudeboyskunk, on 07/20/2008, -2/+2I didn't want to be the one to say it, so digg for you sir.
- LongShlong, on 07/20/2008, -3/+1Meh, it's just boring people who like to watch a boring sport clicking a 'thumbs down' next to my comment... I'll survive. :)
- sleeknerve, on 07/20/2008, -4/+6Buried for burying for being about baseball.
- NathanCH, on 07/20/2008, -13/+4Just. Because. You. Type. Like. This. Doesn't. Make. Baseball. Cool.
- nitesoIja, on 07/20/2008, -9/+3god this is old

Buried for being racist against Mainland Chinese people.- jm5chn, on 07/20/2008, -0/+53WTF are you talking about
- djbuffnstuff, on 07/20/2008, -13/+1i would say a popular line from the joker involving you being a little too serious. however, we don't need to overuse that line and i think you know what i mean already.
- Steroblo, on 07/20/2008, -3/+18Shut the ***** up. Seriously.
- gaoshan, on 07/20/2008, -15/+1Chickity China the Chinese Chicken, ya have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'.
- itsthebrod, on 07/20/2008, -16/+12It wouldn't be a problem if the Chinese didn't name their children by dropping silverware down the stairs.
- PunkRampant, on 07/21/2008, -1/+29So if the joke was "A-Rod goes deep, Johnson hurt" would you say it's racist against white people?
- dexter411, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12Of course not. Johnson is clearly a black dude.
- passedoutghost, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2I'm from mainland China and I found it hilarious!
- Hangly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Why mainland? Aren't there any Wongs in Hong Kong?
- bizsumpark182, on 07/20/2008, -11/+4This is very funny. Made me laugh instantly.
- iDoraemon, on 07/20/2008, -6/+171xmod3: "Buried for being racist against Mainland Chinese people."
Not sure how Mainland Chinese people have to do with anything since that Yankees pitcher Wang is from Taiwan.- wphj, on 07/20/2008, -3/+74Good point, just learn how to use the "reply" button.
- Steroblo, on 07/20/2008, -1/+5If that's racist than a lot of people are screwed. Everybody has a last name.
- Laminarcissus, on 07/20/2008, -7/+1In China, nearly everybody has *that* last name.
- b4db0y, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Not true.
- passedoutghost, on 07/21/2008, -1/+0@Laminarcissus: Nearly everybody? None of my family friends have the surname Wang and I'm from China. In fact, I only know one Chinese person with that particular surname. Quit your stereotyping.
- Laminarcissus, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1@passedoutghost:
Well clearly (and, I hope, super-obviously) "nearly everybody" is hyperbole, but I wouldn't have made the joke if didn't have substance behind it, because that would be stereotyping.
The reason I made that joke is because the three most popular surnames in China are Li, Wang and Zhang, given to about 250 million Chinese. They are the equivalent of Smith, Johnson, and Williams in the US.
So who's stereotyping? The guy who has the facts, or the guy who says "I don't know any Chinese who are named Wang, so therefore..."
Just because you are Chinese doesn't mean you're born with knowledge of your culture, and it also clearly doesn't help you against a white dude with Google.
- requiem3, on 07/21/2008, -2/+0iDoraemon: "Not sure how Mainland Chinese people have to do with anything since that Yankees pitcher Wang is from Taiwan."
This is how you reply.
- baldboy7, on 07/20/2008, -10/+1did u notice the sn of the submitter is "Breeder"
- Cajole55, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1HAHA YEAH
- twiztidsinz, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1no.. but I herd u leik mudkipz..
- Plower, on 07/20/2008, -2/+16Was it really necessary to use Break.com for an image? I think digg would have been just fine.
Edit: oh yea and I think "The Best blah blah blah EVER" "Most ridiculous blah blah blah" is quite a let down most of the time.- algaeturd, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2You can host image files on digg?
- BugMeNot2, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Yup.

- Anubis2051, on 07/20/2008, -1/+9I Believe the sport you're referring too is soccer.
- fool13, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5It's ok, go play some Halo. You obviously don't socialize or have ever enjoyed a day the ballpark with some friends and family. Have fun killing other losers in a virtual reality.
- Slade605, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Here trollie troll troll, c'mon.
- optimo75, on 07/20/2008, -9/+1Christ, no one give a *****. At least there were no typos in the post.

- RacerX2727, on 07/20/2008, -2/+39Still doesn't beat the situation a few years ago for Arkansas Football...Nutt replaces Johnson with Dick to face *****.

- smackythefrog, on 07/20/2008, -7/+2I don't hate A-Rod one bit, but that was funny.
- digdugdog, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2So you kind of like a-rod, huh?
- BNSF9647, on 07/20/2008, -5/+3I think your perid button got stuck while you were typing the title.
- thebraineater, on 07/20/2008, -1/+1anybody notice the strange uri of this page? usually, the periods are taken out. I could have sworn the rss feed was screwed up for a second but it appears to be fine now that I went back to it. weird...
