Okay, Rocket McFadden is a steaming, unwiped asshole. The fact that others like him exist in every fandom doesn’t detract from the shame of knowing that he and I root for the same team.

Not really defending the Missourians who voted for Cruz, because he’s an awful piece of shit too. My point, I guess, is that I don’t see “Cardinals fans” aligning strongly with “rabid defenders of Donald Trump.”

As unfunny and not clever as this dig at Cardinals fans is, it’s worth pointing out that Missouri Republicans didn’t really vote for Trump. He only won the primary by the decision of the RNC because he was in a virtual tie with Ted Cruz.

Yep, I gathered that. Good for you, I guess. I mean, I enjoy seeing the Dodgers lose, but that’s because every time they do, they and their fans whine that it’s not their fault/call for the manager’s head. Several team members also tend to act out in very unsportsmanlike ways. They were insufferable in the 2013…

I’m not even angry. It was just tiresome because I genuinely enjoy this site, but the obsession with hating on the Cardinals (over some very overblown stereotype about the team and its fans) and the articles that said hatred generates meant that there are a lot of articles I just couldn’t enjoy.

I’d be more pissed off by the Cardinals being shut out of the playoffs, but frankly they wouldn’t have been if on just two out of 76 occasions they hadn’t played like absolute shit. And there were plenty of times this season where “not playing like shit” was their only requirement to win.

I mean, ultimately it doesn’t matter. The Cardinals are going to drop at least two out of three against the Pirates and be kept out of the playoffs (by their own ineptitude) for the first time in at least half a decade.

Because even though you didn’t know him, the world around you dimmed a little bit when you heard he died.

Isn’t this an about face from Sherman’s previous comments about this issue? If so, what a way to do it. Bravo.

The Cardinals seem to specialize in taking players who aren’t great and making them playoff/World Series heroes. David Freeze and Allen Craig come to mind. (They were great for a season or two, but then burned out quickly).

Of course Batman got beaten by Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is an Alan Moore book, and Alan Moore fucking hates superheroes.

I know they’re not directly comparable situations or types of work, but Nicholas Meyer wrote a workable script for The Wrath of Khan in 12 days. There were still some changes afterward, but the basics of what is arguably the best written Trek movie in the franchise were all there after 12 days.

I’ve been a fan of Giacchino since his incredible scores for the Medal of Honor games. He hasn’t been called the next John Williams for nothing. He really knows how to write compelling and emotionally affecting music. I’m not worried by his involvement, no matter how late it is.

Came here for a Mr. Fish reference.

Funnily enough, that happened to NASA once. We still trust them with space missions.

It’s funny that Star Trek had been brought up here, because back when Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out, it was regarded as pretty bad. It made a boatload of money, but that didn’t stop Paramount executives from trying to fix what went wrong, from the action perspective to the budget (which eventually added up to…

Entitled fans piss me off. This exact same situation happens all the time to content creators on YouTube. The one that specifically comes to mind is Something Witty Entertainment, who have been producing the seminal Sword Art Online Abridged series. Apart from the voice cast, the team consists of 2 or 3 guys who have…

To clarify my earlier statement because of a response I received in the grays, sexual assault is a permanent shit list assignment too. Right now I’m commenting on the fact that poor doggo was hurt by this shitstain on the human race, and my blood boils because so far Captain Shitstain is not facing any consequences.

Oh fuck the hell no. Unacceptable. Not any more unacceptable than the sexual assault and other shit that’s gone on, but beating a dog gets you a permanent spot on my shit list.

The very first thing I thought when I saw this headline was “Wait a minute, doesn’t this incident make the WYTS entry about his team incredibly precient?”
