I really liked how it didn’t work in the real world.  They gave it a shot....but for whatever reason (which makes understanding it even more complex) it only worked in the VR world. That was a really neat wrinkle.

Happened to Max Muncy last year.  Put him in the Home Run Derby (which is what everyone really cares about anyway) and watch him go.

YES. That is the first thing I thought of when i saw the front end.

Neymar’s transfer to PSG completely fucked up the transfer market for the foreseeable future.  Now 100m euro buyouts are sort of the “standard” for big name guys.  I mean, Pulisic went to Chelsea for 60m!! That’s ridiculous.

More like he was born on third, somehow managed to go back to first, but convinced a whole fuckload of dumbasses that he hit a walk off grand slam.

As a follower of the MLS somewhere between zero and occasional watcher, I think the problem is that the teams/organizations/rosters/league are just not set up to compete in multiple tournaments.  They don’t have the depth to compete in multiple games a week in far flung places, and I would guess that every single team…

Exactly.  Watch the slow mo, he actually double pumps his leg in mid-air to adjust for the trajectory of the ball.  It was a ridiculous bit of skill on Suarez’ part.

“presumable” because I haven’t watched a minute of MLS this season so I’ve not had the chance to subject his performances to my own visual examination

Watching a mostly empty stadium partially cheer for that kind of throw made me sad. I wish he would have stayed with the Dodgers, but his shit talking since has kinda soured me on the guy. I’ll still root for him and hope he does well, though.

If I were Puig, I would boot routine plays on purpose just for the excuse to uncork a missile like this on some poor opportunistic sucker.

Watching Westbrook and PG stumble and fumble and exit the first round every year is going to bring me such unbridled joy.

It’s really weird watching him play for Barcelona. I’ve watched every CL, CdR, Liga game and it’s just....not a great fit. You can just feel it while watching the game....like a guy who wears a striped tie and checked shirt...it’s off putting.

Yup!  And they’re building it (albeit with modern safety equipment and some modern buliding techniques) essentially by hand.  There are craftsmen/women that are creating each and every piece by hand.  It’s amazing to see in person and every time you go back it’s a little bit different.

Yes and no. As a whole, the coaching staff was unbelievably bad. Like, the Arizona bros that Luke brought in were just plain bad. The out of time out play calling was AWFUL. It was basically, throw the ball in and hope for the best.

Do I assign all the blame to Luke for this bad of a season? No....but the…

Oh hellll no. The Kings suck! My (admittedly vague) point was that dude kept referring back to the Lakers as if one dumpster fire has anything to do with another.  That was just dumb.

Seriously...what the fuck is this article.

don’t forget electing an openly racist shitbrick to the presidency.

YES. 1,000x YES.
