  1. Personally, I'd say I know a LOT more football fans who seem to understand a lot more basic intricacies of the game, even if they are complete meatballs, than baseball fans who kick and scream and dig their heels in over trying to understand even simple, basic sabermetrics.
  2. People often mistake a slower game with being smarter, for whatever reasons. Among the big 4 American sports, baseball easily has the least strategy and coaching involved.
  3. Have they won any spring training games? If not, I hope they lose them all. Get it out of their systems.
  4. Put the Heyride graphic on the masthead, dammit!
  5. She should start everything she writes that way.
  6. Doesn't seem very bold. I'm going to say Heyward has a monster breakout year and ends up being the most valuable offensive player. BOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD!!! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WGsl9OL-zCk/UJtFFMMsZ9I/AAAAAAAABjI/FDuaONOGOeY/s1600/SF+2.jpg
  7. It's Daniel Baldwin with an Alec Baldwin mask.
  8. The Cardinal's playoffs/total fail this offseason, combined with most of their membership becoming laughably born-again SJWs in the wake of Ferguson (seriously, I've read [expletive] there that would make Melissa Harris-Perry blush), has made GRB one of my go-to sites when I need a laugh. anyone figure out wtf this meant?
  9. Look at David just assuming his posts are going to be quoted like crazy.
  10. Yeah, if just the link is posted I can see the tweet at work, but I can't play the video embedded, or the photo in it won't load most of the time. If the brackets are there, no problem. Quit being a lazy jerk, David.
  11. I hope the negotiations went something like this: http://i.giphy.com/jQmVFypWInKCc.gif
  12. [expletive]. Even their banner is better than NSBB's.
  13. That scene is a little too boob-tastic for me to search for while at work.
  14. http://campusriot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/stephen-colbert-shimmy-gif.gif
  15. I would have preferred a harsh Senate committee investigation, with McCain in full crazy mode up there banging his shoe on the podium and waving around sheets of paper and screaming "ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A MEMBER OF THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS?!?!" at the team.
  16. C'mon. I wasn't making anything close to that point. OK, then lets at least acknowledge that smart phones aren't going anywhere. People being distracted at sporting events isn't getting less common, it's getting more common. People can shout at the sky all they want about horrible technology is, but it's here for good. Which only increases the need for more netting and protection for people that are sitting close enough for bats to sail into the stands and hit them, or their kids. If the kid wasn't messing with a phone he likely would have been focused on eating something, or messing with his hat, of if they had free giveaway, or if someone had bought him from the shop, etc., etc.. I'm with you in that kids aren't going to be typically laser-focused on the game and it's silly to blame this on the phone like otherwise he was almost certainly going to be watching the game at that moment. Even though this was an entire bat, just how the bats most players prefer tend to break a LOT more now than they did in decade's past is probably the best argument for more protection being extended down the stands.

  18. The Warriors missed what felt like a ridiculous number of layups. What a bonkers game.
  19. I guess this isn't a general MLB Spring Training thread, but I'm too lazy to start one.
  20. Yowza: http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/visual/whatshot/BatBoy030616.jpg
  21. Hey, I want a rocket car, but I'm not likely to get one.
  22. Few shows have a slate of guest actors as impressive and and as straight up weird as this one. probably the best work Robin Williams ever did With Jake Gyllenhaal as his kid. I love that John Waters showed up a couple times: And Steve Buscemi as the ultimate Libertarian creep:
