Re: 2021 Masters (the Golf One)
I lost the prop bet on Dottie Pepper bringing up Pearl Harbor and/or Hiroshima since I had my money on the wrong whitey because the comment on Japanese people being naturally embarrassed at success also qualified. Live and earn, amirite? This must've been what I heard. What the hell is wrong with p...

Re: 2021 Masters (the Golf One)
Who was the announcer who stereotyped Japanese people by saying Matsuyama, like Japanese men became demure, or red in the face because he was capable of embarrassment?
Why even bring up something so irrelevant?

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
They've been the Dodgers in LA a lot longer than they were in Brooklyn. Assuming they're the same franchise (I'm a little lit to investigate), they had like a half dozen names while in Brooklyn before they were named the Dodgers. We're only 4 years away from the Yankees being called the Yankees lon...

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
One of my favourites as well. That stat about the brewers almost being in the NL for as long as they were in the AL makes me feel very old indeed. Just wait until we get to "the Giants and Dodgers have been in California longer than they were in New York." They've been the Dodgers in LA a lot longe...

Umps know to be aware of this sort of shit. Okay but how many different places are they supposed to be focusing on. I wonder, is this the kind of thing he other umps can advise on?

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
The Gamecast summary says it was reviewed and upheld. If so that’s worse than missing the play at full speed (and I agree it wasn’t obvious, or at least not different from 100 Barry Bonds HBPs) They reviewed whether or not the batter was hit, not whether or not Conforto stayed out over the plate to...

There's no booth review to override this idiocy? This is insane. They had a review and the call stood. Not according to the Mets announcers. What was reviewable was whether or not he was hit. It's a judgement call (non-reviewable) whether or not he stuck his elbow out to be hit. I mean, the Mets' a...

Re: Science!
I think one of the biggest arrogances of humans, especially conservatives, is that we know just about everything there is to know about science, economics, the universe, etc. when humans of every era have basically held that same belief and we've always been proven wrong. It should be humbling, but...

Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Throughout the ‘20-‘21 NCAA season, teams were 98-1 that shot better than 55%, turned the ball over less than 10 times, and held their opponent to less than 7 three pointers. Until the other night when UCLA did all those things to Gonzaga. Now those teams are 98-2. Yeah, Baylor’s really good, but if...
