  1. Holy [expletive], how did I miss this.
  2. Yessssss. Thanks, TT & Pushfrog.
  3. [expletive], I want that home run clip back so bad. It's burned into my brain, but everyone needs to see it.
  4. It would seem, from a totally lazy and unscientific standpoint, that intentionally not swinging at the first pitch was something Castro was trying to do last year much to his detriment. I'm probably wrong.
  5. That's a horrendous comparison.
  6. Again with this...which major injuries are the result of him playing guys too hard? I completely get and agree that I'd like to him to play or have played some guys with fewer minutes, but even with that said it really hasn't cost them. Noah's PF is just something he has and either he can play or he can't. Deng's wrist? Rose's knee? Those are things that would have happened regardless of Thibs and didn't have anything to do with excessive playing time. Everything else looks like the usual wear and tear of an NBA team. It's not like they play exhausted at the end of the year or in the playoffs...so what do you point to when you decide this? It's not that you can point to a single injury or anything. I think the minutes, in general, wear a player down. Were we at our absolute best against the Heat a few years back? I'm honestly not sure. And I'm a guy that truly thinks the Heat had more talent too. So, yeah, it's praising Thibs one way(thinking its possible he could have out coached Spo and won the series anyway) while damning him for doling out too many minutes at times earlier in the year.... Bottom line for me is its undecided, but if he never wins a title, it'll be what people (me included) always come back to. Again, I want to reiterate I like Thibs a bunch. Pop is the only guy I'd trade him for. So I'm holding him to an extremely high standard. Like I said, I'd like to see him scale some guys back, and I'd probably with the agree that he's been lucky so far that more serious injuries have not occurred, but I just think it's faulty to argue that it's cost them anything significant thus far.
  7. Describe in great detail how much you hate this run they've been on.
  8. [expletive] owns hahahhahahahahhahaa Holy [expletive].

  10. Thibs is a [expletive] god.
  11. Dude, you're starting to repeat my gifs.
  12. Yeah. I was not expecting that at all. What time is the game?
  13. Now he looks tiny and 12.
  14. http://replygif.net/i/962.gif
  15. Rey looks like the only one who realizes how creepy that is.
  16. Yesssss...feel the douchebag-iness FLOWING through you...
  17. I don't recall Jackson being known for anything like "beautiful defense."
  18. If Olt somehow [expletive] manages to turn it back around I will so [expletive] believe.
  19. http://www.trbimg.com/img-1392863450/turbine/chi-cubs-spring-training-photos-20140216-027/1024 I refuse to believe this is anything besides him getting drilled in the chest like a spaz. And Ricketts looks like [expletive] Droopy Dog at this point. He looks like a beaten, beaten man.
  20. God, he was so awful last year. Who knows, 50-something.
  21. Well, so was he.
  22. Russia [expletive] sucks. http://www.avclub.com/article/[expletive]-riot-members-whipped-by-militia-in-sochi-201257 And seriously, COSSACKS are still a [expletive] thing?
  23. So much stuff isn't on or is in repeats across the schedule because of these [expletive] Olympics. No Archer for two weeks alone is annoying.
  24. I can't think the sport is boring and repetitive without it being a macho thing? I'm just not sure what the difference between figure skating and any other winter olympic individual sport is, aside from the judging scores (which they've tried to get better at by having no top score and every "trick" have a base score before deductions). I get that the ice dancing is pretty lame since there are basically zero jumps, so it's all artistic flair, but figure skating is similar especially to any of the other trick based events in skiing and snowboarding. At the olympics, I prefer to watch the events in which the olympic event is definitely the biggest deal for the sport. With all the skiing and snowboarding trick events at the X-games, I actually prefer figure skating to the two. I was just being flippant, but honestly I prefer none of the above. The winter games are awful because so many of the events are arbitrary judged silliness, figure skating and trick skiing included. That the figure skating is so popular and abundant in the winter games and therefore gets so much airtime(even relative to gymnastics in the summer games) makes it worse. Agreed, the winter Olympics are easily MUCH worse than the summer games. Plus: hockey. It's a nightmare that robs me of my TV shows.
  25. Well, that's why people are voting for him as the 19th best prospect.
