  1. Could be worse, but still: http://i.giphy.com/XNEtM8279ICQ0.gif
  2. I feel so bad for Nacho Man. I hope he got some pity nachos.
  3. Fuel got him through some tough times, those tough times being when he was forced to be married to a cancer person, ew.
  4. He is also guiding Starlin to even more game-winning clutch hits:
  5. It didn't help that for almost all of his time on Seattle he was on Junior's Team. As amazing as ARod was then, he couldn't help but seem like the second banana, and for some reason it made him look weirdly not as impressive. It's not like I thought he sucked, but he was just "that really, really good SS who was in that weird SS shirtless photoshoot and played with Griffey." Hell, it was basically like he played FOR Griffey. With Texas he was still amazing, but he might as well have been in a black hole being on those garbage teams. Outside of the news about the contract it was basically like he didn't exist. And I don't know if Bopston would have changed all that much; he would have just gone to a different dominant team already packed with marquee players. He just would have been the creepy weirdo in Boston instead of the creepy weirdo in NY.
  6. Deadspin suddenly rolling out the decent articles now that it's about to be sold. I thought this one was a good breakdown of how a guy THAT ridiculously talented was basically nothing more than a joke/punching bag for his entire career: http://deadspin.com/alex-rodriguez-was-big-enough-to-take-all-the-blame-1785097449 It's pretty unprecedented when you think about it. Who else at that talent-level spent basically all the time they played baseball as a second banana at best that almost everyone just made fun of?
  7. I don't hate ARod or anything like that, but at best he's just been a ridiculously easy person to laugh at and mock. I mean, yeah, it's ultimately just a game, but I can't think of another player with his talent level with as little respect his way, or someone who just so consistently managed to do or say the wrong thing to make him look even more absurd. Like, Bonds was a notorious dick, but that often just made him more intimidating and enigmatic and even badass. ARod is just a clown. I guess I feel sorry for him in the sense that you feel sorry for someone who simply can't stop making a complete ass of themselves, but mostly I just found him hilarious.
  8. You just know he's one of those hillbilly millionaire Duck Dynasty-types.
  9. Yeah, "mule faced funky butt licker" is much more accurate.
  10. BASEBALLREFERENCE 4 EVER. But holy horsefeathers to this news.
  11. It wasn't the thread itself but the title; I thought it was new news.
  12. For a split-second, seeing this thread title active again almost gave me a heart attack. I thought he had some kind of terrible setback.
  13. http://www.lobshots.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/seal-shark.jpg
  14. Disagree; bears think about seals a LOT: http://i.imgur.com/pJfcP.gif
  15. Ohhhhhh, how the mighty have fallen. (And before MR kills me, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST A HOT HAM AND CHEESE. This dude just keeps mocking us for our food choices) 97% of your food choices are mockery-worthy. :dontknow: Don't front like you're too good for this sea salt potato chip, oven-fried chicken, con queso mac & cheese, scallions and hot sauce burrito. JUST DON'T, OK? http://s3-media1.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/P7xKI0HziK6CYxuKOAyAMw/o.jpg
  16. I can't handle all of these athletes running around looking like they were extras in Attack of the Giant Leeches.
  17. Man, I really just assumed Nolasco had been much better than he's been. Well, maybe he was; BR seems to hate him vs. what Fangraphs values him at.
  18. Ohhhhhh, how the mighty have fallen. (And before MR kills me, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST A HOT HAM AND CHEESE. This dude just keeps mocking us for our food choices)
  19. He was buried under a pile of these: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JuykJ7X_8LQ/VIBX0HI17wI/AAAAAAAAis4/CeR2hSw8cyw/s1600/Burger-King-Yumbo-Sandwich.jpg
  20. I thought they hit 8 games this season. Regardless, if they win tonight, everyone gets one of these: http://www.grubgrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Arbys-Jr.jpg
  21. It's all that extra wood from the lumberyard.
  22. Carl's Jr. is the one where all of their burgers weirdly crunch in the TV commercials when the ladies in bikinis bite into them, right?
  23. Hahahahah! That's even worse! Joe Hardee is a freak, man.
  24. Like, if someone came up to me and offered me an Arby's roast beef sandwich, I'd smile and shake their hand and enjoy the delicious sandwich. But if they offered me a "HOT roast beef sandwich," I'd probably punch them in the face and run away.
  25. Unless it's a hot dog, adding "hot" to a burger joint sandwich seems goofy and suspiciously redundant. "Hey, want a hamburger?" "Yeah, thanks!" "Hey, want...a HOT...hamburger?" "Uhhhhh...I guess?" It's totally just a me-thing.
