Gawker.com closed up shop yesterday, which marks the fascinating death of another online institution. There was a whole lot that Gawker got wrong – including the decision to publish the Hulk Hogan thing that ultimately, eventually, led to their demise – and I’m not going to defend their editorial ethos from top to bottom. I did often enjoy the site, though, and there were often times when they (and the sites under their umbrella, including Deadspin, which lives on) got at something important that no one else was going to touch. I don’t like the way things ended, and I find very unnerving the potential for other media to be chilled.
I'm told that Tommy La Stella will not be doing interviews while in Iowa. Did not speak to the media while in Tennessee either. #Cubs #MiLB
