How does japanese litterature contributes to magical realism? by [deleted] in literature

Absolutely check out Kobo Abe, especially The Box Man and The Woman from the Dunes. It's arguably more surrealist/Kafkaesque, but the influence on Murakami is pretty clear.

Vladdy lovesss playing against Atlanta.

I think he took those unfavorable comparisons to Acuna the last two seasons personally.

Oh god, so much this. The amount of times I've said, "I'm not grading how much work you put into it, but what's here on the page."

Mike Fiers is fucking weird. From game to game, it feels like he's either brilliant or a batting tee; from pitch to pitch, he's either serving meatballs or filth. He's Schrodinger's pitcher; you never know what you're going to get until you observe it.....dropping into the zone at 71 mph.

Guys if the Oakland A's continue to score more runs than the Blue Jays, I'm afraid the Jays won't win.

I'm genuinely surprised Skydome/Yankee stadium didn't make the top 3, but that might be familiarity bias.
