I flipped by when it was 3-1 Nat’s and watched a little and flipped away because of a commercial break, ended up watching the “The Civil War” on WETA and went back to check on the game. Saw the Nat’s were losing and decided watching a show with pictures of dead contorted bodies all through it was much more watchable…

I was fantasizing about having a player go up to the ump and say “hey, I’m going to argue balls/strikes to get my manager out here... could you then find a reason to eject him? Thanks.”

Mets fans everywhere, indeed. Suddenly everyone I know has been a stealthy Mets fan for years.

About as effective at preventing scoring as well.

Papelbon sort of did say that. He said he would reject a trade to any team that wouldn’t agree to use him as a closer. Not that I’m trying to take away blame from Williams. It is broke, please fix it.

Remember uber-prospect Trea Turner? Let’s give him one at bat every 3 games and see how he adjusts to life in the majors.

I was at the game yesterday — it was insanely hot and uncomfortable. Luckily my friend got hit by a foul ball and had to go to GW Hospital, so I left in the 6th.

I’ve been a season ticket holder for all ten years of the team’s existence in Washington. Even as we sat though 100 loss seasons in 100 degree weather, nothing has been more demoralizing than this year. The expectations were so sky high, and then the team as a whole has underperformed dramatically. Maybe the players…

It looks like fall or winter in that video and it makes me sad that it’s going to be fall and winter soon.

Who forgets what childhood was like? At what point do we substitute our adult centric theories of what kids think for the actual experiences we had? I played in dozens of sport seasons and a few dozen sport camps, and on zero occasions did I witness a child’s teary lament that he did not receive plastic recognition…

Great catch, but does Rizzo really need to be patting himself on the back like that in public?

The funny thing about it is that pretty much every review that is killing this (which is just about all of them) is saying the exact same thing: the movie has no idea what to do with them once they do get their powers, as if to say “...now what?”. In fact, this problem was also present in the really bad 2005 film too…

I don’t get the “most dominant (female) athlete in history” narrative that people spew about Rousey. She is great! She’s a totally impressive athlete who currently dominates in her specific field! But we’re still talking about somebody with only 11 fights to her name. Putting her on the same level as an athlete like…

Ed Helms isn’t particularly likeable, though.

Ed Helms is likeable to people?!

Can we all stop pretending that these guys just hit the gym really hard and dedicate themselves to "the craft"? I think we all know this guy was on a cocktail of testosterone, HGH, and anabolics.

Yuengling tastes like muddy cat piss. I want my beer light. Light on color, light on flavor, and light enough for me to crush 13 of them in my car 30 minutes before a Dodgers game with no consequences.

Why is Drew such a prude? Nothing wrong with a lunch beer if you decide to head to a restaurant. On the weekend? I’ll start whenever the hell I want. What about football Sunday? I live in the mountain time zone, so I think its perfectly reasonable to crack a beer at 11 a.m. when the games start. What about camping?…

Also nowhere in the Bible does it really state that premarital sex is a sin. The old Testament references to sex out of marriage, deal more with the value of the offense to the father of the daughter. For example:
