  1. [expletive], I think Planet of the Apes is a genuinely good movie.
  2. Hey, those dudes look like they're in pretty good shape.
  3. http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2rp7dKH391qhz348.gif
  4. There's just no fooling this guy.
  5. Probably not, but, holy horsefeathers, his high school baseball team is in some serious trouble: http://deadspin.com/report-high-school-baseball-coaches-racially-abused-pl-1756133416
  6. Well, maybe, because the Cowboys exist. Nobody else is likely touching them, and especially not Manziel. What would even be the point? He's been garbage in the pros and has been nothing but a headache. And Rice is never coming back.
  7. Disagree 100 percent. A hitter who slashes 280/350/450 absolutely has more business hitter at the top of the order than one who hits 280/300/500. The top of the order hitters are table setters, and so you want those players to get on base at a high rate for your middle of the order hitters to drive in. The idea that it doesn't matter whether a highly disciplined hitter hits second or sixth is ridiculous. So hit that guy 9th instead. Outside of the very first AB of the game, the idea of the top of the order kind of goes out the window, especially with Maddon.
  8. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=888&dat=19770810&id=VwMMAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IFoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1864,579730&hl=en https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1891&dat=19770810&id=zt4pAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KtYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1347,1446303&hl=en Long story short: kid is dying of bone cancer, but his parents have decided to not tell him that he is dying. Bobby Murcer is the sick kid's favorite player and he hits 2 HR's after talking to the kid on the phone earlier and saying he'd try to hit a HR for him. When Murcer hits the first one, someone working for the Cubs passes a note to Jackson in the booth about the story, but neglects to specify that the kid doesn't know that he's dying. Jackson mentions it, and specifically mentions that Murcer hit his home runs for "Scott Crull, a boy dying of cancer." I had never heard this before. Holy horsefeathers. Sadly, the kid did pass away a couple of weeks later: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19770823&id=FRtOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=MhMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5959,3911544&hl=en
  9. And then there's that StylesClash dude, but he's a Cardinals fan, so whatever.
  10. There was one dude saying he thought it would be a good idea before pretty much everyone else said they were against it, or didn't want to do it if it meant Soler was gone.
  11. Who here has been talking about him like that?
  12. WOW! RED AND BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Love the little bat guy.
  14. Everyone in the comment section praising it sounds like a huge pile of sycophantic buttholes. "Your stupid idea is so well-written I can't help but admire it!"
  15. Chewie has a literally filthy curveball: http://cdnstatic.visualizeus.com/thumbs/34/32/baseball,starwars-34323c07cc1f7c4d260efc642018d3a2_h.jpg
  16. In the 90's, sure. But 2000 is in the past, bro. WHOOSH.
  17. I won't feel that bad if Soler only goes on to hit 80 HR for another team. I'd feel pretty great, actually.
  18. I say add "2000." That's actually scientifically proven to be more future-y than 3000.
  19. David is powered by old AOL CD's. HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF.
  20. God dammit, Tim.
  21. WAS IT SOUNDWAVE?!?
  22. http://i.giphy.com/ykzXbY24BFqY8.gif
  23. Move to strike gooney's obviously deranged vote from the record.
  24. See? Even the french toast guy gets it. I'm appalled that someone would think doughnuts are almost the same as waffles.
