Let us also not forget the fucking racist-ass Tomahawk Chop that 40,000 Atlanta fans do multiple times every game and will be doing so to a national audience during the NLCS and possibly World Series if the Cardinals or Dodgers don’t stop them.

Johan Franzen’s five goals may have been impressive, but Purity was a real letdown.

If I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt I’d say she’s just out of touch, not politically engaged, and maybe not that smart. If she’s actually trying to signal that W carries a modicum of acceptability, that’s pretty damning.

No...but nobody threw at a Braves player, and I doubt they will, and they certainly shouldn’t, so I don’t know what your point is.

My god, Teti, you are truly the master.

Nobody said that “a film can’t be good simply because of where it’s set.” And I don’t look down on popular cinema regardless of quality (just off the top of my head, Mad Max: Fury Road is a masterpiece).

Well the big problem with that argument is that even if “good running backs are hard to come by,” it seems the Chargers already have another one.

Whatever. Acuna can celebrate all the meaningless homers he wants. Martinez can be mad about it if he wants - maybe it motivates him to actually pitch well in the 9th.

Melvin Gordon’s holdout never stood a chance because I drafted Austin Ekeler in my fantasy league.

Yeah, no it isn’t. 3/4 of the article is about Acuna not running out his single, then it says the Cardinals “were pissed at Acuña not for costing his team an extra base, but for rounding the bases too slowly following his towering 455-foot ninth-inning dinger.” 

The answer may surprise you!

You sure showed whatever strawman was making that argument.

I suppose since the M.O. here is to shit on the Cardinals we’ll ignore Acuna’s little side-shuffle dance he did while approaching third-base on his home run trot.

I wouldn’t assume the Astros are going to dominate next year without Cole. Verlander may continue to kill it or he may start to take a step back. 

Sure. Remaking great cinema in the skin of comic-book IP is not great cinema.

I don’t know. An awful lot of people thought Logan needed to be respected as Serious Cinema. There actually seems to be some commonality between that and Joker in that Logan was also (expressly, to some extant) a remake or homage of a classic film with a comic book property slapped on it. Joker seems like it’s gone…

Yeah I have no idea what you’re talking about with the “progressives want Marvel to be serious cinema” thing.

What?

This is the biggest disappointment since the Clint Eastwood film Space Cowboys.

I feel the worst for the child conceived during a one-night stand in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador.
