Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

8/25: Open Game Thread

I like to think that this is the universe's way of telling us that we've all been bad people who deserve nothing but anguish and misery and crippling, debilitating boredom. All those hours you spent slacking off at work? All those times you screened calls from your mother? All those tickets you bought for a special advance showing of Disaster Movie? Now you have no choice but to pay dearly for your indiscretion. Just remember, you did this to yourself.

You know, I saw those WHIP totals and thought "Man, Batista sucks!"

It wasn’t until I saw the ERA that I realised the numbers weren’t real.

No this is true.

I went to middle school with him.

He threw me into a dumpster.

I was a band nerd back then too

But I was a couple years older than him, so he never messed with me

At least we get to watch Souza suck balls with the nationals organization. He hasn’t been very good.

Some friends and I threw a kid into a dumpster once.

But then again, he was a smelly son of a bitch to begin with, so we thought it’d make him smell better.

Holy crap

That is the funniest stat line ever.

I cant believe you would embellish that much…no way was he that good.

by Slica on Aug 25, 2008 6:26 PM PDT reply actions  

That stat line is unreal.

It is not possible that line belongs to a ML starting pitcher. What is the FO thinking? There must be many. many minor league pitchers who could post better numbers. What is Batista thinking, doesn’t pride come to play at some point. If I did my job that poorly, I’d have a hard going to work.

I’d love for the Dodgers to make it so that I can go to a playoff game that isn’t in Anaheim, but if they don’t I’ll at least have college football to console me.
