I really, really hope that when (if) he finally does get his chance, Kap doesn’t outright suck like Jay Cutler or pretty much every other phlegmatic scrub that got a job ahead of him while he was in exile. His being above-average is crucial to denying these racist asshats unearned exoneration for being racist asshats.

Not even Bill Belichick has a plan for EVERYTHING.

I’m tired of NY-centric battles, too, but that was the comic universe so I can’t be too critical of that. What I don’t understand is why they still have this division between MCU and non-MCU properties, especially now that Perlmutter has been gone for... ages.

I need one of these that can pick up baseplates. For whatever reason, my kids will clean up every bit of lego but the large plates. It sucks to step on a brick or whatever, but that’s just pain. Stepping on a baseplate breaks the baseplate and thus, my heart.

Slightly-less-awesome: Thanos kills half the known universe in Infinity War, and Unnamed Avengers 4 tells the story how, out of the ensuing chaos, a lone defender emerges with a sniper rifle, ending the conflict with one shot to Thanos’s melon. Thus begins MCU: Dark Reign.

I’ve always thought it would be awesome if they did a long shot where they had all these billion-dollar franchise characters throwing lightning and vibranium and lasers at mobs of Space Assholes, then the camera zooms beyond them, and there’s Daredevil whipping billyclubs around, and on a rooftop further out, Frank…

It’s baseball, the worst is going to come to fruition. Yes, let’s enjoy it for what it is, because these moments are great, but part of what makes them so great is how fleeting they are. Predicting that Ohtani will level out is no prediction at all.

I’m very proud of Indiana for using the internet the way a 13 year old boy might use a Victoria’s Secret catalog.

The numbers aren’t asinine, they are what they are: his road stats are 23% worse across the board than his home stats. Nobody is saying he’s a .266 hitter at the core, just that on the road, he’s significantly worse than he is at home. Even compared to other Rockies; at least Arenado only takes a ~15% hit on the road.

Votto is an all-time talent, but it seems like nobody outside his Division is aware of it. Guy is 10th all-time in OBP, ahead of guys named Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Mickey Mantle, and Stan Musial.

Just to put that in perspective, here are the Home/Away splits of some current guys who have stayed in one place a while:

In the mid-70s, a small startup called the Traf-O-Data company collected the results from these pneumatic traffic surveys and translated them onto computer punch cards. This was a partnership between a couple of high school kids named Paul Allen and Bill Gates.

I guess I could have just said that, but the indictment really got me wound up.

It would be funny to bleat out ONLY the slogans of the biggest rival for each major sponsor, unless the event is sponsored by Raytheon (because General Dynamics’ slogan is complete bullshit).

Whassssuuup?

The indictment is linked a few times already in the comments, but in a nutshell, that is almost exactly what they said. The ride was designed by an unqualified person, its maintenance manual was its design document, there was no maintenance plan or indication of acceptable/unacceptable parameters anywhere for any…

It was designed in such a way that a fatality was not only a possibility, but an eventuality. Seriously, read the indictment.

He key-holed it. That’s actually pretty impressive.

Hey look, a joke.
