68 isn’t that uncommon for spring training players that are unlikely to make the team. Which is what he was 2 years ago. He probably just decided to not change the number the last 2 years.

It wasn’t a big deal because people weren’t stealing off him. He had below average steal attempts against him (though about average for left-handers), and slightly above average caught stealing% (slightly below if you only compare vs. left-handers). Then ESPN talked extensively about it during the opening day, so…

I spent so much time on this as a kid:

Nope

I just bought the new 3DS yesterday for MH4U :(

Having played it in HD a couple of years ago, I have to admit, it looked a heck of a lot better than I ever expected for a Wii game (other than the occasional texture here or there that wasn’t ever meant to be viewed in HD).

The record will stand for exactly 1 day. The WSOP Colossus takes place on May 29th. They’re expecting 13,000 players in that.

Definitely possible. Check out the 1.04 patch notes. It’s a massive list of balance changes.

I was curious too, so I just skimmed the 1.04 patch notes, and yeah, there are a TON of changes to virtually every character that definitely seem like they could have major effects on the matches. I mean, I have no idea what “Crouching LP recovery reduced from 8F to 6F; advantage on block increased from ±0 Fto +2F;…

Me: “I wonder what those red numbers next to the acolytes signify”

I didn't even realize states still had windshield inspection stickers. Our state got rid of them close to a decade ago.

Had a friend when I was a child whose family tradition was melted chocolate over scrambled eggs. They still eat it to this very day. Actually wasn't that bad.

Good question. When it came out in Japan, it was on Famicon Disk, so it had save states. On the regular NES, I’m not sure, but I would assume you had to beat it in a single sitting in order to get one of the four secret endings.

Dude’s got some nice fingernails.

That first playoff game between the Reds and the Pirates was amazing. I can still hear the Cueto chants that caused him to drop the ball, and the even louder roar after the home run on the very next pitch.

This is what was found in Palmeiro’s system, and purportedly what McNamee injected Clemens with.

There was no Japanese version of Metroid on the NES/Famicon. It was only on the Famicon Disk system, which is why it had saving, since the disks were rewritable (same with the original version of Zelda). When Metroid came out for the NES, there wasn’t a single game on the NES that let you save progress. Only when…

By the end, you’d discover that one of the game’s best secrets involved the character you were controlling. When you first played Metroid, there was no indication that Samus was a woman, not until you finished the game and she took her helmet off. Her sex was a surprise, but it was otherwise irrelevant to her adventure

Point out to me where in that video there was any type of deflection whatsoever. I see none.

1) They play in FA WSL. Which is — guess what? — the top tier in their league! (which is almost certainly the top league in the world)
