i'm guessing you stole this joke, but it's still pretty good Surprisingly not consciously, but yeah....I'm sure I'm not the first.

sontensei was probably the guy talking about how many people were injured by falling debris after Randy Quaid destroyed the alien ship in Independence Day.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yeah I would have gone with Grimm in this exact situation, but I'm just following on Gameday, so not sure how it went with pitchers warming up.

i wish they gave baez the call instead honestly. I'm gonna start taking bets as to whether or not you're one of the first to turn on him. Everyone else already turned on him last year, but sontensei is unaware that last year happened because it wasn't 2008 or 2015. I heard about last year, but I've never been fast to turn against a really young player, wasn't he 21 last year? or 22? Remember the vaunted rookies back in the early 00's? i never turned on them guys -- So we wouldn't find you saying anything bad about Russell this year right?

I know it's not going to happen this year, but....why not? I don't think his pitches have significantly more movement on them than say...Hendricks (and Hendricks probably needs the framing a lot more than Lester does). This foul ball aside, the one silver lining I get from every Ross strikeout is that it pushes him a little closer to retiring and just being Lester's favorite bench coach, instead of sucking up 150 PAs a year.

Lost in the Dong Party is Hammel putting together a pretty good start. Granted, against the Braves collection of made up players, but it's a step in the right direction.

Giants offense is ass Well that's nowhere close to true.

Dongs please

You are hoping they lose a game? What is wrong with you? That's the most positive post he's made in weeks, and it's really not that unreasonable as I think we would all take that result. I get that he puts out a lot of bad posts, but don't just blindly bash him.

Haven't seen it, but I did some googling and I think this explains it (sorry if I'm ruining the joke woodchip)

Maddon is in a tough spot with this incoming weather. I wouldn't want to waste a reliever and have this thing get rained out in the 4th inning. But that might be the only move we have to stay in the game in the small chance it goes long enough to be official. Unless I'm misunderstanding the rules.

There is very little I wouldn't sacrifice right now for a Castro dong.

As an aside (and yes, I know they aren't the same case), it's pretty interesting to read the thread that resulted from Castro's sexual assault situation.

It's possible for people to be total douchebags and also not rapists. You said that the Madison debacle is a microcosm of everything wrong with him. What other violent or aggressive incidents does that story represent? Yeah he's a terrible person who I would have no interest in spending any time with, and yes, he's nothing like anyone I know. But maybe there are other circles in the Venn diagram here.

Out of the rumored story there are no rumored stories? Is 'there has been one rumored story in the 8 years he's been on the Hawks' better for you? Look at the evidence of what happened that weekend and believe whatever you want to believe. But arguing like this was something that probably happened before, or was going to happen at some point no matter what seems a bit too far. Nobody is talking about whether it happened before and was destined to happen. The question is did this happen and right now hoping it did not happen does not look good. Also, how does hoping that someone didn't get raped not look good?

Sofa I don't have a problem with you being sure that he did it. I just don't think you can get to that conclusion because of his past. Outside of the one rumored story up in Madison, there has been no published evidence, rumoroed or otherwise, about him showing violence or aggression towards women. It's essentially condemning an entire culture of people as eventual rapists because they love to get really drunk.

I mean, as someone who got ripped apart a few days ago for a couple potentially poorly chosen words in a long post, I think posting something like "Yeah, but we'll definitely remember the time Patrick Kane raped that woman" seems pretty absolute.

Come on super K the side.

Probably only occasional this season. The games are too important down the stretch to have him learning back there. It'll depend on Montero's health, to a certain extent, and also a little bit on how well this Coghlan at second thing works. If Montero needs a few days, they'll need to decide if Coghlan (LF)/Schwarber ©/Castro (2B) is better than Schwarber (LF)/Coghlan (2B)/Ross ©. I'd like to think option A is better, but who knows what Maddon thinks.

I know it was a weird play, but it's pretty pathetic how bad MLB Gameday is at just giving basic play by play. Didn't even make an effort on that one.

You probably should just go ahead and admit defeat on that one. Based on all of the verified accounts of his "partying" over the years and life of entitlement, there's a FAR better chance that something happened than not. Still probably a pretty slim chance he faces a complete career-killing punishment over it due to his built-in advantages ($$$, fancy lawyers, the overall worldwide rape culture, likely lack of 100% damning evidence, etc...), but in everyone's heart of hearts, they know something shady happened and that it's probably closer to the worst case scenario than the best case scenario. Maybe I'm just ignorant on his "partying" habits but just because someone likes to get hammered all the time & bang tons of chicks doesn't make them a rapist. And if those rumors are true I feel bad for Kaner. But in the end he put himself in the position for this to happen. His "partying" has included choking some girl in public during the Madison debacle a few years back, that's why I referenced it. A ton of guys drink a lot and bang a lot of chicks, but he's not only on the higher end of that spectrum, but has been entitled his whole life, and shown violence toward women publicly while drunk, that's why I mentioned that. If we're going to discredit every piece of information that has leaked out over the last couple weeks, I don't know if it's really fair to accept the choking story (don't think anything legal ever came from that) as fact. This is a good article that I generally agree with on this: http://sports.cbslocal.com/2015/08/12/bernstein-avoiding-confusion-in-kane-discussion/. A lot of people, athletes or not, go out and drink way too much and hook up with a lot of people. A vast majority of those people do not rape someone. To say the first leads to the second is a stretch. We were all ok with Kane's general behavior, at least to the point of cheering for him and the Hawks (which is really the extent of being a fan anyways) until two weeks ago. If he raped someone....everything changes. But we don't know yet.
