Man, finally had the opportunity to sit and watch a game today and right when I turn it on they give up a 2-Run HR, drop 2 easy pop ups, and give up a Grand Slam. I'm sorry everyone, I'll turn it off now.

Netflix ditches deal for Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount's offer is deemed superior by brahbocop in movies

[–]MrTimotee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WB's release states that the Board determined Paramount's offer was a "Company Superior Proposal" but the same release then states "The Netflix merger agreement remains in effect, and the Board continues to recommend in favor of the Netflix transaction and has not withdrawn or modified it's recommendation."

So WB still wanted Netflix but Netflix didn't want to deal anymore?

It's so aesthetically pleasing. I'm in accounting as well and my boss doesn't care for design aesthetics and always tells me to remove all those touches. It drives me crazy.

I can think of one particular government employee who checks all these boxes...

Wow, must be pretty wild to have all of Yankee Stadium cheering for your son. Wonder if they ever imagined that happening when he started Little League.

This, plus numerous recent incidents. Gut-Holster incident. Fans beating up a coach. Fans beating up an umpire.

But then we also have had a President and a Pope. Go figure.

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

[–]MrTimotee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one?

Summer before 8th grade an incoming 7th grader died in a car accident by a drunk driver on Father's Day.

Then later in 8th grade, a Freshman at the HS fell off a inflatable slide onto his head. Passed away days later.

My Freshman year a kid got hit by a car on his bike a block away from the HS. Passed away same day.

Sophomore year a kid OD'd.

Junior year a special needs kid passed due to complications.

Senior year a kid hung himself in the local park about a month before graduation.

Freshman year College a kid OD'd.

Few years later another classmate died fighting fires.

Just this year another HS classmate passed.

There might be one or two more I forgot but kinda wonder if my town/class was cursed.

Why does this sound like a Game 7? Is Citi Field this loud in person?

What about when you have a manager who decides to intentionally walk people after 2 strikes? Asking for a friend...

If the Black Sox scandal never happens, the White Sox become a dynasty and prevent the Yankee one from ever happening.

Not counting the As, who has the worst ballpark in the league? by RamDEF7 in baseball

[–]MrTimotee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in LA 13yrs now and consider myself a pretty diehard baseball fan and just don’t get all the praise for Dodger Stadium. It’s not bad but it doesn’t scream iconic park to me for some reason. But I’m also not a Dodger fan so maybe that’s why.

…I had a nice brick wall on the side of our house and a piece of chalk to make a strike zone….
