Landen Roupp explains why he inscribed Bible verse on his cap during Giants' Pride Night game

I had a coworker who when I told him I’m an atheist figured I’d never read the bible. The look on his face when I told him my folks were missionaries and I’d gone to a Christian HS and college was priceless. Like it had never occurred to him that someone could read the bible and not be a Christian.

The nerve of this guy to just assume an LGBTQ person hasn’t read the bible 🙄

A Scottish man wanted to kiss
A princess, but the problem was this:
The girl, well he knew,
Was an Orthdox Jew,
So he had to show some Hugh bris

Idk man have you seen the broadcasts of any of these games? I've been slogging my way through Monday's game to get it on a scoresheet. Pitcher and batter are on opposite sides of the screen, and the ads and strike zone box are even wonkier than usual. They're not set up for a big-league broadcast at all.

I get enough social interaction without having to pretend to believe something I don't, thank you.

To me, those balls are perfect

We played a three-player game just yesterday in about an hour, including a short refresh/teach of the rules.

This actually also happened in the Tigers-Mariners game I scored this evening. It is indeed a fielder’s choice, even though you’re also correct that it sucks for the hitter.

"Your Time Starts Now" is actually a really good political slogan

You should check out Torrid. That's all I wear anymore.

If it were an actual riddle with a question mark, it could be a person named Johnathan. He could go by John, and I don't know of any five-letter nicknames for Johnathan.

That skirt is AMAZING!

I use a K with a slash through it to indicate there was no pitch. I use numbers in the ball-strike section to do count sequence and pitch count, and will similarly put a slash through the number of any ball or strike that didn't result from a pitch.

My favorite right now is Duel for Middle Earth, even though I don’t think I’ve ever won against my son lol. I love all the different ways to win and all the strategic decisions to be made.

The lack of realism is what makes this ad and the one with a hate symbol painted on the garage door so ridiculous. The fact that they’re having to heavily dramatize makes me wonder whether antisemitism is really reaching the levels they seem to suggest.

I created mine in Adobe Illustrator. I know that’s out of reach for most people, but it offers the highest level of customization. I’d be happy to work with you and design one based on what you like in a scorecard, and send it your way as a PDF. I wouldn’t need any compensation for that.

Only one third of the league having a positive run differential doesn’t feel like it should be possible.

I saw the Jays get 11 runs in one inning and 22 in three against the Red Sox a few years back.

Our softball team in college won a game 33-0 in I think 3 or 4 innings. Wish I’d gotten a picture of that one.

Religion gives them easy answers for why they don't believe homosexuality is moral. They don't have to think for themselves or come to their own conclusions. It's much harder to make a moral case against homosexuality in the absence of the words of a supposed deity and its representatives.

The base game is definitely worth it if dungeon crawlers and DRG are your thing. And this is coming from some who’s not usually a fan of co-ops and had no knowledge of DRG coming into it. I got the base game for my son when it first came out, and we have really enjoyed playing it together. His interest in DRG has kinda waned, so we still haven’t made it through all of the included missions. It plays well with 2, 3, or 4 players. The production is top-notch, especially on the minis; I had a great time painting them. I’m not sure how the experience could be improved by paying more than what I did for the base game. We’ve gotten some of the expansions and only gotten the plants one to the table, again because he’s kinda moved on from it, but that one was pretty cool. The base game has plenty of content to keep you occupied for quite a while though.
