Whatever you’re paying that graphics guy, it’s not enough. 

Eh, I’m not gonna knock the Mets for refusing to swap with the Yankees. Limiting their pool of partners to 28 instead of 29 isn’t that big a deal. There are plenty of teams that need pitching and don’t threaten the myriad potential embarrassments to such a trade.

According to Elias, this is the first time the Mets have passed on an ill-advised, disastrous deal.

I know people love shitting on play by play guys, but I think we can all agree that 99.9% of color guys absolutely suck.

The side-by-side comparison of the original sequence to the new one is brutal.

Speaking of Sherman, I think “The Cockroach King” would be a better bet than this.

I laughed out loud when the page loaded and I saw the grade. This morning I saw the released clip of the “Hakuna Matata” scene and it’s just a disaster. I have to impose an outside, intellectual awareness that the characters on screen are supposed to be singing to understand what’s happening because it’s just not…

“Scar’s jaunty villain anthem “Be Prepared” has been totally gutted”

Me, after reading seven paragraphs full of one excoriating pull-quote after another:

I had a friend who was in the last stages of pancreatic cancer. She had been declining for months and was bed-ridden and past the need or desire for much of anything. She took her fluids through an IV and was heavily sedated with morphine. She had been almost entirely unconscious for several days, but came all the…
