  1. 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.
  2. I hope the negotiations went something like this: http://i.giphy.com/jQmVFypWInKCc.gif
  3. [expletive]. Even their banner is better than NSBB's.
  4. That scene is a little too boob-tastic for me to search for while at work.
  5. http://campusriot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/stephen-colbert-shimmy-gif.gif
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

  9. The Warriors missed what felt like a ridiculous number of layups. What a bonkers game.
  10. I guess this isn't a general MLB Spring Training thread, but I'm too lazy to start one.
  11. Yowza: http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/visual/whatshot/BatBoy030616.jpg
  12. Hey, I want a rocket car, but I'm not likely to get one.
  13. 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:
  14. Sure would be nice if tonight's Bulls could stick around without someone being felled by some kind of health catastrophe.
  15. Spoiler Alert: Blues Clues is a cold-blooded killer Few shows have a slate of guest actors as impressive and and as straight up weird as this one.
  16. Whoa. I didn't know the Epstein Brothers were related to him. That's cool. I knew his dad was a writer, too; Theo is like the nerdy, analytical black sheep of the family.
  17. Nope.
  18. Does this count as a general Theo discussion thread? This has nothing really to do with anything, but I've been re-watching one of my favorite shows, Homicide, and found out one of the main writers, Anya Epstein, is Theo's sister. What a cool family.
  19. Everything he submits just looks like the Matrix.
  20. The only thing Murton is going to hit is the can. It's a puff piece signing. I mean, if you want a bat off the bench then save Baez instead of putting him in as a defensive replacement in the OF when Victorino can do that. Let us never speak of Al Contra ever again.
  21. I'LL TELL YOU WHY: http://33.media.tumblr.com/d427704e96e05c0fcbc6119c579ed77a/tumblr_n9vj3b4RbO1smcbm7o1_400.gif
  22. MURTON! Or Neil Rameriez, or Rex Brothers, or Alcantara...or maybe even Szczer. Szczur and Alcantara at their best have been less than Victorino at his worst; this is a strange hot take Yeah, Victorino makes sense as the 5th OF. No idea why some people are supposed to that. Why the hell do people want fat-legged Murton in a role mostly used for defense anyway?
