...said Gomez as he roamed center field against the team with which he spent 2008-09.

I’m playing the Loverboy video posted above while watching these gifs and it’s perfect.

This song is 1980 in a box.

“ I honestly think he understands that building and unifying and growing the party is the only way we’re gonna win.”

Four. TV, phone, tablet, husband’s fucking desktop dinosaur.

I think this idea is entirely in keeping with the spirit of this rivalry. I look forward to seeing a Derek Jeter bench in Boston Commons.

I really don’t know how to handle this burgeoning sense of respect I feel for him.

I think pretty much any media organization is going to react harshly to a reporter that embarrasses it on national television. Yes, language barrier, but also dumb fucking question.

Hey, if San Antonio manages to do that that with Kawhi Leonard or LaMarcus Aldridge on the DL...

I think they would be nuts not to have an end in mind for THIS PARTICULAR iteration of interconnected stories. I do not want to see 70-year-old Robert Downey struggling into the Iron Man suit with Pepper’s help. At some point, you need to declare “done” and hit a reset button.

I wish I were more excited about Punisher. Jon Bernthal acted the hell out of this character, but I came out of Daredevil S2 kind of wishing they had stopped with Daredevil S1.

So, is Schilling drunk, like, all the time?

I feel like these guys are going to try to play with each other as long as they can. Obviously, money talks, but athletes have accepted less-lucrative contracts to stay in a better work environment or with a team they think is more competitive.

I read the Black Tiger racing books and cared about Shirley Muldowney. (And Mark Donohue, till he died.) I guess that makes me the 1 percent.
