Last pitcher to hit a home run in a World Series game until Joe Blanton in 2008. #makingitallaboutmyselfandmyownfandomlikesimmonswould

I like to think that song is about him being the entertainment in a gay bar and he's the last one to realize it.

Hmm. It would have to be a guy who shot a lot of threes while being pretty “turrible” at it.

Watching the videos from the missile volley, could it have been that Iran wanted to give a response as a show but not their major weapons? Because they seemed really easy to shoot down. Almost as if they had to do a show but intentionally made it a relatively non-threatening one as to lessen the ris...

Why did I think this year would be any different than the last 20?

The 76ers unveiled a statue for Allen Iverson on their Legends Walk at their practice facility.

Apparently they may not wait. After two decades of this bullshit you’d think they could wait another two months. I feel bad for Yotes fans and there are a lot more than you’d think. Muerelo might finally be done bleeding money and realizes a team-financed $1 billion arena project isn’t as sweet as ...

Too bad SNL is new this week. If it weren't they could've just had 90 minutes of Norm just shitting on him.

Now is as good a time as any to say that Made in America is utterly fantastic.

I don't follow hockey as much anymore as the rest of you on this thread, but giving up 9 goals is not conducive to winning, even in this day and age, right?

I don't recall college. Law School was then-US Attorney for NJ Chris Christie. Did anything come of that guy?

I really hope the next CBA the players address these shenanigans. Push the date to mid-season or so and put some pressure on teams to promote earlier in the season or risk keeping a better player out longer. Or maybe do what the NBA does and tie it to the awards. Like if they make an all-rookie team...

Wish I could make it, but I have things to do around here. Doesn’t help I get up at 4 am for work. Are you headed home tomorrow? I wish I was. I have a flight at 8:30 am. It’s like every time we’re both in the same city a super-rare occurrence happens. Maybe next time we’re around the seventh seal ...

That was fucking amazing. Stayed clear enough here in Cleveland to see the whole thing. I’ve always been an astronomy nerd, and I never thought I’d ever see a total eclipse. But to finally see it - the whole solar corona, the diamond ring - was even better than I expected. Kinda feel like I achieve...

I’m pretty excited for today. Checking out the R&R HoF at 10:30, then hanging out by the lakefront for the show, then come back and catch the ‘Dians home opener at 5. Looks like there’s some cloud cover but still I got good vibes.

Double post.

I suspect there’s something potentially disastrously scandalous coming down the pike. A top coach doesn’t just leave UK. If it’s money, I would think Cal has enough cachet to get them to match any offer.

Angel Hernandez is the only thing all fans, no matter the age, agree with among the 30 fanbases.

I just caught the last quarter in the sportsbook attached to the arena. It looked like the same thing as last year - a machine with 5 well-oiled parts vs. 1 superstar. Of course, I’ve been drinking without eating much, so grain of salt and all that.

And “Central Jersey”, of course, doesn’t exist.

And an iPad. Just no TV. Dad is also gutted about the lack of ‘cock tomorrow AM

Hopefully not the Mrs. too.

I’m at my parents today in Southern Jersey, I didn’t feel a thing. If this turns out to be no real damage I’m going to be disappointed.

If it is damage, it’d be scary and potentially tragic, obviously. But if this knocks out my flight Sunday I guess I’m going on a road trip.

Fuck it. I’ll take it.

I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring. I can agree with this part. There were so many opt-outs from this year, which I don't appreciate if it were a coach's decision...

L-Jam3

I know that the excitement for the NIT finals is rightfully muted. But I appreciate that the two two teams fighting for it, Seton Hall and Indiana State, are two teams whose bubbles burst, thereby giving the winner some grist for the mill that they should’ve gotten in. Indiana State in particular wa...

From the Fun With Early Season Stats Dept., Bryce Harper added 800 points to his Slugging Percentage after tonight’s game.

With the obvious exception of the seminal Mr. Robot, has USA ever had a show in quality higher than “put it on while you’re doing other shit”?

couldn't believe when i was watching that last night that the Astros have had 17 - that's a crazy high amount, no? Great story last night and after the game was a runaway we were all rooting for the no-no. Blanco was dominant and quick. Meanwhile the Jays have been no hit 8 times, 6 in the last 10 ...

The last survivor of the Arizona more than deserves a mention: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5PDKZKxvvg/?igsh=ZjhmNnk0amhwZzQ5 So I’m not going to suggest the Michael Bay movie was any good, but the attack sequence, especially the Arizona explosion, man, how anyone survived that.

I keep banging the drum on the war chest and abortion. While a lot can happen in the next six months I'm expecting this to be ass-kicking.

So for the last one before we take off next week for UConn's eventual title, O Brother Where Art Thou. I'm a few behind, but I'm looking forward to it; I haven't seen it since I saw it on VHS. We should have a few weeks to catch up. It appears it's on Hulu.

So they’re trying to make her the second most popular MAGA celeb, second to Ted Nugent?

If they win it all, we have to talk about this being one of the most dominant stretches since UCLA right? They haven’t been challenged in 10 straight tourney games. Yeah, no question. At this point, the most recent comp might be that UNLV team that beat Duke by 30 in the finals and then steamrolled...

Since the UConn game got out of hand, I put on the first episode of this season’s Amazing Race. And I’m glad no one told me that one team ended up recreating the corridor scene from the first Austin Powers. I’m not going to have a harder laugh all year.
