I look forward to Bettman getting his ass booed at the induction ceremony. 

Oh, shit, I knew there was some other connection I was forgetting.

I was not expecting this to actually make me want to see it, although the amount of action that doesn’t take place in the jungle is a red flag to me. Also, the E for Everyone joke is a clear call back to the “pussy with an echo” joke in the original. 

I was never entirely sure that the movie actually wanted me to see Brolin and del Toro as cut-and-dried villains, as opposed to that being me projecting my values onto a story that wanted me to be like “sometimes you gotta do morally murky stuff!” and not pass judgment on it. The fact that this is the sequel makes me…

Half the country will probably think this shit is a true story.

Just goes to show how much things have changed in Russia. In Soviet Russia, hot girl in stands photographed you!

I can’t blame them. It’s not like anyone in their right mind would give them revenue by paying for Pirates tickets. 

Me reading this story:

The correct response to a pitcher getting pissy at you for flipping your bat is, as Brinson demonstrated nicely, to get another hit and flip your bat better.

HOT TAKE: Weird Al is fine, but if he’s your favorite musician that’s kind of weird and makes me think you aren’t actually evaluating musicians in terms of their... musician-ness.

I carried him as he crowdsurfed, so I’m also doing ok.

Looking at the pictures, it’s apparent that at this point he already had “in an everlasting kiss,” which is pretty good, but had not yet written the next line, “HUUHH!”, which is what really makes it resonant.

There is no smug “I told you so” like the smug “I told you so” of an Old Baseball Fart pointing out that if they hadn’t been in the shift that ball would have gone straight to the shortstop.

I believe it is, yes.

My stealth pick for worst announcers in the league (other than the White Sox, who have an unfair advantage in this and only this respect) is whoever does the Pirates broadcasts.

It’s a perfectly cromulent movie.

One of life’s little pleasures is discovering the “Park” audio overlay on mlb tv and never having to hear a bunch of old farts complain about the shift (or anything else they don’t like) ever again.

The first chapter was great. Everything after that was solid shit.
