One last thing

replace Vidro with a first baseman and yesterday’s lineup doesn’t look that bad.

I'm happy that Bedard is pitching

I like him more than Ol’ Mista Felix

Lesson learned from Canada

Never ever leave your laptop in the room when you’re not there to supervise the children who may mess with it.

This is full of Blasphemy.

I can't decide what the funniest part of this video is

Investigative Reporting: Furrycon Pittsburgh

Is it the guy in the white suit who appears to be the Willy Wonka of furrydom?

Is it the fact that he apparently has a Ph. D in something I’m assuming is related to furries?

Is it the way their mouths move when they’re being interviewed?

There's only a few players I want to see succeed in these games.

1) Ichiro
2) Felix
3) Beltre
4) Jeffie
5) Reed

The rest of this team can go fuck themselves.

I can sort of understand why a M's/Friars gamethread would be so dead.

Are there two more boring teams in the majors right now? Even with Peavy and Bedard pitching…god, it’s like a mausoleum

I’d rather a pitcher take themselves out when they’re out of gas than do something stupid like Washburn or Tits would do.

How kind

I’m just saying that for 7 million dollars I’d be out there in the mud, the blood, and the beer. Bedard’s only missed about 6 effing starts, and the season is only half over. He’s a bitch.

Just tuned in...

Uhm, why is Jose Vidro batting fourth? What possible reason could Riggleman have for running him out there at all? He’s not going to be trade bait at this point and he can’t possibly think he’s worth anything, so why do it? Is he on board with playing for next years draft or what?

Doom II, dude, Doom II.

The double-barreled shotgun (plus the great new enemies) adds so much to the gameplay balance.

Plus the level maps on Doom II are genius.

To be fair, Bedard is automatically a pussy because French (which I call "Darkish") is his first language

So technically Elmstrosity is right.

Oh, I'm wrong alright.

He’s a prick. He can’t spare 2 minutes out of his not-so-busy schedule for an interview, misses half his starts, and has an ugly wife. I don’t have to like him.

Thank you for proving it. Banning someone from a website over a simple difference of opinion is about as pussy as it gets.

You were banned because you’re a fucking retard. You’re entitled to your opinion, but it’s a stupid opinion and I’m entitled to ban you for losing out to a dessicated comb-jelly in the intellect sweepstakes.

I'm conversant in almost every Western European Indo-European language save the Baltic and Slavic ones...

...and I study Indo-European language change in my spare time, so obviously I don’t really do that in real life. I’m just kidding around.

I took 2 years of French and can hardly remember any of it

It’s sad and pathetic, I slept through most of it.

Though “Vous etes une bete chien” is still one of my favorite lines and nobody ever knows what I’m saying. I especially enjoy pulling this out when I know someone is talking shit about me in another language.

To be fair, I dislike French too, from a language change perspective.

Only assholes like the French could’ve changed “aqua” into “eau” within the span of 400 years. Probably because underneath that veneer of Romanization, they were still bloody Celts. Which means Irish, more or less.

(N.B. I’m half-Irish, I can insult them.)
