This is completely off topic, but I just found this out last week so I feel the need to share it with as many people as possible: You know who was originally supposed to play Miss Scarlet? Carrie Fisher! She dropped out a few weeks before filming started because, unfortunately, she had to check herself into rehab. But…

Replay was back. The Royals used it a few innings earlier after Wright was called safe on a stolen base attempt when he was clearly out. The play was overturned.

And no one calling the game even acknowledged that it was a close play, which was a little weird.

I’m kind of shocked Terry Collins didn’t challenge the David Wright error. At full speed it seemed like Escobar was clearly safe, but when they showed the replay I honestly thought Duda’s foot was still on the bag when he caught Wright’s throw. Even if it wasn’t, it was close enough to challenge, especially when it’s…

You know what? I didn’t know he was in that film because his kids picked it. It still sucks that it was his last film, but you’re right. That does make it a lot better.

Seriously, has anyone ever started a comment with “Ummm” without then immediately illustrating that they didn’t actually pay attention to what they’re responding to?

No, I meant in the comics. Falcon is a much older character than Blade, even if the latter ended up on film first. He predates Blade by five years.

Falcon is older than both of them.

Falcon is much, much older than Blade and Steel. I’m talking about the first African-American super hero in comic book history, not film history.

I meant in the comics, not in the films. Falcon is, definitively, the first African-American super hero in major comic book history. These films were comic books first, you know.

Raul Julia’s last movie was Street Fighter, and Orson Welles’ last movie was Transformers. I feel like that’s the great actor equivalent of dying while sitting on the toilet.

It was a long week, and I’ve been looking forward to Saturday like I was in a De La Soul video.

Anthony Mackie has the honor of playing the first African-American super hero in comic book history... and this is how he thinks.

If Eddie Murphy didn’t single handedly save SNL from being canceled, when he was only 19 years old, there’s a good chance none of us would have ever heard of Tina Fey. Soo...

This is a bit off topic, but how did Tina Fey win this award before Eddie Murphy? I love Fey as much as the next person, but Eddie had more success before he was 25 than she’s had in her whole career. And that’s not an insult to her, just an acknowledgment of how much Eddie accomplished so young.

I like how the only time many sports fans give a fuck about sexual assault is when they can reference it in order to heckle a player on an opposing team.

Andrus fucked up the most, but nearly the entire infield had a disastrous inning. Moreland had a terrible throwing error, and Odor blew an easy out on the Donaldson hit when he completely misplayed it and let it go over his head. The only person in that inning who did his job properly was Beltre, the old man playing…

Because it went over his head without him even touching it, and that kind of play is never ruled an error. Think about all the times an outfielder has come in on a ball, realized he completely misplayed it, then sprinted backward as it sailed over his head for a double that should have been an out. That’s never ruled…

Greg Hardy is going out of his way to say to America “Yes, I beat a woman half to death. Yes, I got away with it. And no, there’s nothing you can do about it.” He’s basically laughing at society because, at this point, he knows there’s nothing anyone can do.

Fun (and kind of stunning) baseball stat of the day: Dee Gordon is the first player to lead the National League in batting and stolen bases since Jackie Robinson.
