Since this is coming from theonion.com, of course its candid fodder. But a good read nonetheless

The Onion is a great site. I like Sportspickle.com as well.

"But I do want to reiterate that this is still Derek's team as long as we're winning," Damon added.

 

Although Damon admitted that his natural reaction was to "just run out there and get injured on a stupid play in spring training," he decided he would take his new all-encompassing responsibility one loss at a time.

 

 

I think these are the funniest quotes. i hope he does try to get injured.

It should probably be pointed out, for some of the slower ones, the Onion is not a real news source; it's a news parody. There definitely seems to be at least one person her who doesn't seem able to grasp that.

It looks like there's only one person that didn't know what "The Onion" is/that it's satire, and maybe only because he didn't notice the website.

LOL sorry, but I still remember reading my first onion (paper form). I was amazed by the stories I was reading. It took my 5 minutes to realize that it was a joke paper. Now online still funny.
