  1. It kinda blows my mind when people say they somehow managed to miss the ongoing discussion/debate about this when it's been going on over every media platform literally for years now...but then again, I have literally never heard of or encountered this "punch somebody because they looked at your balls through the hole" or whatever game in my nearly 40 years of being alive. So everyone has their blind spots, I guess.
  2. Fine. Response, retort, reply. Pick whichever word tickles your taint. How is asking if that was directed at me a weird question? I was simply commenting that I had seen that hand symbol used elsewhere. I think it's obvious that I wasn't trying to say that the dude in the pic was a member of that frat. everybody has seen the symbol used elsewhere. Yeah, exactly. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions
  3. Rant? And that's a weird question.
  4. Come on, man. I know you know that's not the slam dunk you want it to be. The reality is there's just not a "it was only..." excuse anymore for a white guy to do what the guy at the Cubs game did. You might think it sucks that trolls and racists ruined the beloved dickhole game or whatever it was for white guys, but that's what's happened. This has entered the same realm that excuses, like, "it can actually mean a bundle of sticks," or, "it's really an ancient Hindu symbol," don't fly, too. It's changed for the worse because that's what shitty people were intentionally trying to do to it (due in no small part to knowing that it would lead to people trying to defend it like this), and that's just the way it is. There's no "reclaiming" or "saving" it. People just need to be smarter.
  5. Eh; Heyward's been pretty meh at best again for a while now. Last 4 weeks: .246 .383 .354 .737 (.294 BAbip) Last 2 weeks: .216 .326 .297 .623 (.286 BAbip) He's a career .300 BAbip guy, so....yeah. I suggest you do not look at his splits over the last week.
  6. This excellent article posted in the politics thread yesterday seems fitting: https://thebaffler.com/salvos/teenage-pricks-pareene It may have been something else before/originally, but it was very loudly and intentionally hijacked for nefarious/trolling purposes a while ago, and somebody would have to be REALLY oblivious to be doing it intentionally like that and to have it have nothing to do with what it's become. I know plenty of people love saying how they're sick and tried of hearing about "gaslighting," but this OK signal mutation is basically the dictionary definition of how it works. There's pretty much zero chance this guy wasn't at least doing this just to get people worked up over what his intentions were.
  7. Do they not have a version of Caray singing the stretch where he doesn't sound like he's going to beer barf?
  8. Wow. That was a fantastic throw and tag.
  9. I'm getting real tired of hearing the crowd groaning with disappointment over shitty D and lame Marlin hits.
  10. Almora getting hits is one of those rare times where I bizarrely feel angry when a Cub is doing well.
  11. OK, buzzing is gone; Len says it was the heaters in the dugout.
  12. Yes. I switched to the Marlins feed Man, who the hell calls those games?
  13. Is everyone hearing this crazy buzzing on the TV feed?
  14. His disgusting-looking legs are actually making me a little angry.
  15. Doing whatever guys who aren't Theo's first first round pick do. I see. So you think Theo has a powerpoint on his laptop where he ranks all of his first round picks based on how long ago he made the pick? Do you think he values his 3rd round pick from 2015 more or less than his 2nd round pick from 2017? Does he have a rubric to keep all of this straight? I think he has ARod's centaur painting on his wall with Almora's face taped over it*. *"It" being, of course, the majestic ARod centaur dick.
  16. I'd bet good money this useless turd is still as prominent as he is specifically because he was Theo and co.'s first first round pick. If that's the case, then wtf is Happ in the minors? Doing whatever guys who aren't Theo's first first round pick do.
