Are they having a contest with Marvel on that end? I mean... Secret Wars... WHAT?

I’ve only occasionally read Superman over the years. No snark or anything here: how do they explain the secret ID thing? (Or do they?) I get that rando criminal would not recognize Clark Kent, but how do people like Lois Lane, Perry Mason and Jimmy Olsen not immediately see it?

When I was a kid, a hooded sweatshirt was not any kind of fashion statement (or worse, political one). It was what your mom made you wear. “Jimmy, it looks like it might rain. Take this and put your hood up.” Kids today are fuckin’ idiots.

One of my college roommates decided to become a Bengals fan because Boomer was, like him, from Long Island. That didn’t go well, but he was elated to become a Jet fan when Boomer joined them. That went just as well. I think he is agnostic now.

Of course the Phillies took exception to Murph’s mild bat toss. Ryan Howard never cadillacked his HRs, right? And it’s not as if Shane Victorino and Jimmy Rollins didn’t act like assholes every moment they were on the field.

I think I am in the minority for disagreeing. Ant-Man was just OK. The jokes weren’t all that hilarious. It all seemed kind of pre-packaged, cut-and-dried. Small-time crook with a heart of gold who loves his daughter, wealthy mentor, predictable family strife, wacky sidekicks, training montage, some action, big…

Came here just to say that. What an insufferable douchenozzle O’Neill was. I wish he was doing the game last night, it would have been interesting to hear his take.

I work in a particularly esoteric field within my industry. I’ve been doing it for 20+ years so I know everything inside and out. Since it’s kind of a dying part, no one goes into it anymore, so no one knows exactly what I am doing, how long it takes, or anything else. I’m like a wizard; no one bothers me or anything…

100% proof that Drew is a racist.

Use a lot of jargon, sound authoritative, and just make shit up. You can go far.

When I was in college we were being jerks about how bad women’s sports were and a bunch of our friends on the ladies’ basketball team (D3 but pretty good) challenged us to a pickup game. Half of our team (myself included) were terrible basketball players, and we still smoked them. Bodies are different. Men are…

Not on Deadspin.

Mets fan here also. You mean the time he left the critical game that determined if the Mets would finish in fourth place or fourth place? I was there that day, I cheered him and was happy that we had our first batting champ. Guys have been doing this forever. Including Ted Williams in 1957.

Yeah, I read he was the first guy in ML history who did that.

That was so sad to see. I like to think of him as the exuberant young guy laughing while we all sang “Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose” at him. Not a sulking, pissed off old guy not running out grounders or making any particular effort in the field.

The Dead Kennedys suck

Shhh! It’s only like 7 extremists worldwide and they in no way represent anyone and besides it’s all America’s fault. Now call Schilling names and then put your fingers in your ears while shouting “Lalalalalalalala. Faux News! Lalalalalala”.

It doesn’t always end badly.

Good call on the training.

This is why I have my draft two days before the season starts. Well, that, convenience and cheaper airfare/greens fees.
