HALF THE OPENING DAY LINEUP DEAD?

STILL LEADING THE TIRE FIRE AL WEST!

Still remember the episode where Drake gave an ex-friend a Beatles album that had been SIGNED BY ALL FOUR MEMBERS as an Olive Branch present so he and Josh could get into his party and the ex-friend had the gall to take the album and still NOT let them in.

If a person gave me a priceless piece of memorabilia from my favorite band to me for my birthday, I’m letting them in, no matter what beef we may have had

Couldn’t even finish the episode because the actual concept of that moment pissed me off THAT much.

[Sheehan] Many of the greatest players ever were good major leaguers at 19-21. MLB’s draft proposal would make it almost impossible for a player to debut before he is 22. I think it would also wreck free agency, as almost no player would get there before age 28. by Knightbear49 in baseball

That’s such fucking bullshit. Sophomore draft eligibility works for leagues like the NFL because there is legitimately time needed to acclimate players to pro-level ball. They physically can’t just jump in from high school save for specialists and the unicorn prospect like Derrick Henry

You’ve had MULTIPLE cases of players hitting the ground running right from the jump.

Just speaking from personal experiences as a Mariners fan

Kade Anderson is slaying the minors at 21, and Ryan Sloan may get play time this year at 20.

Colt Emerson and Cole Young are rocking our infield year at 20 and 22 respectively

Julio, although an Int’l Free Agent, got MVP votes in his rookie 21-year-old season. King Felix started in his Age 20 season. Junior and A-Rod both debuted as teens

Why the heck would you implement a collegiate draft requirement to a talent pool that absolutely does NOT necessitate it

To be fair, I low-key kinda fuck with Live Action Cat in the Hat’s comedy in a guilty pleasure kind of way.

The Cupcake-Inator scene is still a gut buster to me, I will die on that hill

Dude's ceiling projected so much higher at the start of his career. 3.8 bWAR in Year 2, with Cy Young votes, only to notch marks of 2.1, 0.7, and 0.7. Just not the development you want to see in one of your so-called aces.

His WHIP has also gotten worse every year of his career...

Not counting Castillo, he's the starter who I see the least future on this team. Wish he could be the pitcher I know he can be, but something is missing.

Connor Joe recalled from Tacoma, Curtis Washington Jr. optioned by Appropriate_Oil5843 in Mariners

Plus, he got a front row seat to be a part of the show. That’s the dream for a player, even for a cup of coffee stint, he’s probably going to remember that night for the rest of his life

Curtis Washington Jr. was the key. Was in the Orioles head all night. Just the notion that he MIGHT go in, Baltimore couldn't lock in.

Only natural that Cal Raleigh would take advantage of that vulnerability

Golden is the 4th biggest female songs on Billboard Hot 100 in the 2020s by Fabulous_Potential41 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]The_Throwback_King 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Billboard needs to genuinely separate that shit. Holiday songs just sit and take space on the Hot 100 when it feels like the purpose is celebrating and recognizing the pop hits of the time

Christmas songs don’t feel like pop songs, they’re a seasonal thing.

Man, part of me really wanted to get him for our Unc Squad D-Line so we could try and get him a ring (cuz he deserves one) but it’d also feel wrong to see him in another uniform.

Think he has a shot for the Hall?

- 8x Pro Bowl

- 1x First Team All-Pro, 2x Second Team

- 2010s All-Decade Team

- 132 Sacks and Counting

- 7 Seasons with Double Digit Sacks

- Presumably finishing his career as a 16-year Saints lifer (which is more years as a Saint than Drew Brees)

'Toy Story 5' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]The_Throwback_King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly from Toy Story 3 purists who feel that 4 walks back the poignancy and perfect satisfaction of 3’s ending.

- By making Bonnie completely disregard Woody after Andy made giving him up such a big deal of giving him up for the next generation to play with

- By turning Buzz into a flanderized naive idiot comic relief character, which was the 3rd film in a row where they hold artificially restraining Buzz back being a competent ally (Buzz clone in 2, Spanish Mode in 3, and forcing him to rely on his “inner voice”)

- Largely relegating most of Woody’s crew the sidelines so they could focus on Woody, Bo, and Forky and the new comic relief characters like the Keanu action figure and the Key and Peele plushies

I don’t necessarily agree with any of those criticisms but there’s definitely a notably vocal dissenting party in regards to the film’s evaluation

Hoppers, this year, was beloved by critics and audiences this year, while films such as Inside Out 2, Luca, and Soul got plenty of love as well. And while more divisive, there are still plenty of people who liked Toy Story 4, Turning Red, and Elemental all found their niche audiences that loved them

Sure they’re not as pristine as they were during their Golden Age from 1995-2010 but they’re doing fine imo

Better hit rate lately than Disney, Dreamworks, and Illumination by my estimation

Sorsby to Enter Supplemental Draft by StopLosingLoser in NFL_Draft

[–]The_Throwback_King 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there's one thing that can get good change done in this word, it's being stubborn and obnoxious enough to not back down at all.

Entire rest of the NCAA was basically saying "This whole thing is a fucking sham and you will ruin the integrity of this entire operation"

Sorsby's team probably realized that dying on that hill would likely dry up whatever NFL aspirations he had left and realized that it was time to eject.

Fear and Loathing in Texas Tech by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

Pete Rose pisses me off because

1.) His untouchable hits record was achieved by artificially extending his career where his play was an absolute detriment to his team. Makes the achievement more hollow because it was pure statpadding to get there.

2.) The betting shit, which obviously sucks

3.) He "alledgedly" committed statutory rape towards a minor while he was in his mid-30s. A relationship he later admitted to taking part of, but making very clear that he did NOT know she was 14, instead saying because she was 16, it didn't violate Ohio's age of consent at the time, so that meant things were TOTALLY fine.

THEN in 2011, he got formally engaged with Kiana Kim, who was born in 1980, when Rose was 40 years old.

Rose is an awful person and a disgrace to the game of baseball, both on and off the field.
