I can’t wait for the 2030 World Cup hosted by the Eastern Hemisphere.

That joke is already in the article.

Uranal?

Forget the goofy running backwards part, I’m just talking about turning a routine ground out into a rundown on the fly. As far as I know there’s no rule against a rundown between first and home as long as the runner stays in his path. With a play like this where the first baseman gets pulled off the base and has to go…

With runners on base this could be an honest to god good strategy in that spot. You’d have to figure everyone’s brain would short circuit if a runner on 2nd or 3rd waited a beat and then took off running. Is anyone running to cover 1st if you turn it into a Benny Hill rundown just for the fuck of it? It would cause…

Your move, Ohio Man...

So who is getting the money exactly? There is no more “Hillary Clinton for President 2016" campaign. Is the DNC literally paying cash money to Hillary herself for an email list her public campaign generated with donated funds? Because that seems...illegal? I guess it isn’t but it sure FEELS illegal.

This is a great story, granted, but can this guy actually play NFL football when all any ball carrier has to do is juke to his left to avoid a tackle? It is literally a game of inches and shoestring tackles make the difference between wins and losses. This guy simply won’t be able to wrap up NFL ball carriers…

I just moved and rather than take several hundred DVD’s with me I threw them on the curb in NYC where literally no one touched them for 3 days until the garbage man showed up to haul them to the landfill. Do you know how worthless something has to be for vagrant New York street people to take a pass?

By the way, streaming technology has already lapped solid state media technology in terms of 4k. I don’t think anyone will ever bother to create a new generation disc player to accommodate 4k video so you’re sticking yourself with inferior versions of the movies you love all in the service of collecting more physical…

This take is bad and you should feel bad. Yes, by all means let’s keep producing new petroleum-based discs and cases that can clog the oceans up for eternity because one dude enjoys filling his apparently infinitely sized home with dreck rather than rely on the world-changing technology of cloud-based media storage to…

Also, John Wick always ends up MASSIVELY fucked up after all of his fight orgies. He must have missed the assassin training course chapter on defense. Bourne falls out of an odd window here or there and occasionally takes a bullet, but John Wick is soaked in his own blood at the end of all of those movies and that’s…

You have to really get into the idea of an AB being a legit battle between a pitcher and hitter. In that sense, a hitters ability to foul off 11 straight Major League put away pitches is on par with taking 11 uppercuts from Mike Tyson and staying on your feet. Baseball is a tough sell for people who didn’t grow up…

Right hitter it probably goes to the 1B coach who signals to everyone else. If the runner on 3rd doesn’t know the signs (which he probably does) then the 3B coach will fill him in. But they’ve got that play called in that situation as soon as Harper gets to 3rd I’d imagine. It’s not some kooky gimmick play.

Also, FWIW, peak Ichiro got in the neighborhood of 230 hits a season - that’s being a bit generous, but it’s about right. Even if you gave Ichiro 5 more years of PEAK performance, meaning he came into the league at 22 and was immediately the best hitter in the game and never got hurt or had a down year through that…

Unless you want to use the one actual stat that defines the hitting title which is...MLB hits. I love Ichiro. But he doesn’t have the most MLB hits and he never will so unless we collectively just decide to start awarding titles based on other stats he isn’t the Hit King. Does it suck that we didn’t get to see Ichiro…

Not to dredge this whole thing up again, but I really don’t get this argument. Does any Japanese pro league have as tough of competition as AAA or even AA ball here? If the answer is no, which it is, then how can you argue for counting stats for one ostensibly minor league instead of another? Rookie league is…

Quick aside: one of my all-time favorite moments in a Bond movie was in one of the recent Daniel Craig ones where Ralph Fiennes referred to Q as “my Quartermaster” and ALL THE LETTERS SUDDENLY MADE SENSE. Maybe this had happened in a Bond movie before? It was probably in the books, but man that was a lightning bolt to…

I mean yeah $80 is pretty steep but also...........I kinda want one?
