I'm sorry, but losing with quad aces in the WSOP is worse than whatever happened to Janay Palmer on that elevator in Atlantic City. I don't wish either upon anybody, mind you.

oof. +1 ticket to hell.

It's a waste of time (and bad for the league) to expect the umpire to have to explain what the definition of a catch is every time a manager asks him to. Is it really all that different from a manager arguing over a close strike 2 call? Do we have to expect the…
