Lots of damage in Dayton and in my town Vandalia. Luckily missed my house.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

it's great

Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock both ended on a high note too

Lost is such a gigantic pop culture blind spot for me, and that Super Punch gif is definitely not helping convince me to change that. my parents were way way late to watching lost, and they really enjoyed it. to be honest, it's probably more enjoyable watching it new now when you can just plow thro...

the simpsons ending on the city of new york vs homer simpson was a pretty great finale

the seinfeld finale being excellent is a hill i'm willing to die on

Just want to appreciate Joanie. A couple days ago me, my wife, and son took her for a walk, and 3 houses away a pit bull got out of the open gate and attacked her. Luckily the dog left the humans alone. It probably only lasted 20 seconds, but it felt like forever. I couldn't get the idiot dog to sto...

My feeling immediately after viewing is that this was lazy and predictable writing, and that I hate it. That may change. Dany burning the city down was predictable? Jaime and Cersei dying that way was predictable? Arya retreating instead of trying to kill Cersei was predictable? Greyworm attacking ...

The Dark Side of the Ring series on VICE is excellent, if you haven't seen them yet. Tonight's episode is about Gino Hernandez, and I'm pretty excited for it because I really don't know a whole lot about the guy aside from running across his name a few times. If it's anything like the first 3 episod...

he was a fetus so i'm counting it

so for any newish parents, i was looking for a cubs shirt for my 2 year old, and they're practically giving away the locker room celebration shirts in toddler sizes right now https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/chicago-cubs-majestic-toddler-2016-world-series-champions-locker-room-t-shirt-heath...

episode 2 this season was as good as any other episode they've done

It’s pretty hard to bring something this sprawling to a satisfying close. If it was easy, it probably wouldn’t be taking GRRM a decade to write the penultimate book. I think they have done a great job. Online GoT fans are making Star Wars fans look reasonable these days. I had extremely low expecta...

Jon can die now as far as I'm concerned for blowing off Ghost

I enjoy forgetting things.

Ryan Theriot has 2 WS rings. NEVER FORGET.

theo probably gave him a 3rd just cuz

If I had said David Eckstein instead of Castro you dorks would be choking on how much you were harrumphing in agreement instead of being all, "well, yes, job security is indeed the true hallmark of a good career in this field of baseball!" a world series mvp, 2 rings, 2 all star appearanc...

Sammy Sofa wrote:Nah. They've had OK careers. Definitely pretty big disappointments relative to potential, plus overall value pans out to being an average regular starting player at best.

i know it's splitting hairs, but an average player lasting 10+ seasons would qualify as a good career to me

That Starlin Castro-esque career WAR, however (and take your pick from FG or BR)...

i'm sure 99% of minor leaguers would sign up to have castro's career, i'd put him in the good category too.

Does he need to?

We'll see. He could end up like Miguel Cabrera, or he could end up like Pablo Sandoval.

so either an elite hall of fame career or a good career

if the night king is so badass then why is he dead

Sure, but if she didn't succeed, literally all of the characters were moments away from imminant death. I had a hunch that next three episodes weren't going to be zombies frolicking on their way to King's Landing. Agreed that she could have died in the attempt, though. how hatable would Cersei vs t...
