I think that's where most people stop with their main file. The only thing left to do is beautify your farm which only appeals to some because it's kind of a lot of work

FYI they didn't win the world series in 2016

Yesterday Panik took Kershaw deep and tonight he took Jansen deep. They are the only two runs in these two games so far

Jesus. You people really are looney

Excuse you. It's Randal. With one L. A heinous name.

Aw I think Judge is cute. He's got that gap tooth and he's 8 feet tall. He's adorable

The emergency goalie is the coolest rule simply because it's the only chance to see a somewhat average dude in a major sports league.

Oh, and I should go to the Jays games this weekend, if only to see two baseball ogres smash some dingers.

Unfortunately you're probably going to have like 60 chances to see them both play in Toronto in your life.

I have been to two different Busch Stadiums many times, Wrigley Field twice, and once for Safeco Field, the Rogers Centre, and the Tokyo Dome.

I like it.

Longo plays for the Giants. Literally no one remembers this

Cubs Happ tied the record for hitting a HR on first at-bat for the season (Dwight Evans did it first on 4/7/86).

He tied the record? How many times did he do it?

They need to yank that pitcher, hes clearly not ready for Opening Day, probably will be sent down to minors tomorrow...

It's the Marlins

I can't wait to compare your predictions to what actually happens at the end of the season

Our annual MLB season recap topic is always a joy

AL MVP: Trout
NL MVP: Freeman

AL Cy Young: Severino
NL Cy Young: Kershaw

AL RotY: Ohtani
NL RotY: Nick Senzel (yes I just googled RotY candidates but I read about this guy some last year and he seems cool)

And I'm excited about Holland too. The Cards bullpen should be good.

The only tossups for me are the second wild cards. There are some decent teams in the AL but only a few great ones. The A's or Jays could both be good, and in the NL the Brewers should be decent as well as the two wild cards from last year. The Giants are in trouble though because of Bumgarner

AL West

Astros
Angels
A's
Mariners
Rangers

AL Central

Indians
Twins (WC2)
Royals
White Sox
Tigers

AL East

Yankees
Red Sox (WC1)
Blue Jays
Rays
Orioles

NL West

Dodgers
Diamondbacks
Giants
Rockies
Padres

NL Central

Cubs
Cardinals (WC1)
Brewers
Reds
Pirates

NL East

Nationals
Phillies (WC2)
Mets
Braves
Marlins

Well fellas we survived another off-season. Good luck to all of our favoritest teams!

Except for Jimbo

I got my car back yesterday and today it started smoking on the drive home so I'm gonna get it towed again. Has anyone in history ever struggled as much as I?

That dude is a next level dumbass.

The AL East is the hardest to pick and then I think the NL Central is probably the second most likely to flip. If the Mets are perfectly healthy they could be dangerous too and the Nats are always in danger of flailing.

I actually agree that your IQ is too low to get it.

I actually saw a Mr. Poopybutthole episode this morning and I laughed out loud. He's a great character! The show's annoying fans can't change that

Look at this fuckin noob, thinks there's only two Fire Emblems on 3DS.

Isn't there 4, but 3 of them are like the red/blue/yellow versions?

Yes and there's a (bad) DLC full campaign for Fates so it's sort of like 4.5. They're all good in their own ways besides that one.

The ooooo wee thing is a rick and Morty joke right? Apparently Kirk cousins likes Rick and Morty. He must have a very high wonderlic score

Yes it's a Mr. Poopybutthole joke. Cousins has a sophisticated brain for sure

Look at this fuckin noob, thinks there's only two Fire Emblems on 3DS.

Which Fire Emblem on 3DS?

Bartolo is going to play in AAA for the Rangers

Gamefaqs polls have gotten so horny

I really like Matt Olson and I think he's gonna wreck this season but obviously the home run rate has to come down a bit. There are some people who think Ozzie Albies is the next big thing too. Also I'm hopeful that you're right about Leone getting saves but the Cardinals might still pick up Greg Holland

I'm not rating it because I'm insanely bad at fantasy baseball but it looks good to me.

If it's 12 teams that's a clever infield

I assumed last year was the end for him. Didn't the Rangers also give Lincecum a try out?

They signed him. That's very different though, he's still sort of young and a lot of teams were interested because he looked good apparently

Just wanna say I think Slurpee may have the worst bracket I've ever seen

Choco, Slurpee, and I are the only ones who are pretty much dead in our bracket at least in terms of winning this group. It could actually go a lot of weird ways but obviously chewy needs Villanova to win it all or he can't win. In any case, the winning score is gonna be trash.

The Marlins had another legitimately catchy one when they got the new stadium and uniforms called we are the Marlins

lmao that sounds like a christian rock Pearl Jam/Creed cover band

Assuming it's Marlins Will Soar I'm pretty sure Scott Stapp performed that song

I kinda hope they go all out with the modern/futuristic tech that's been a trend in Zelda lately, but I'm not sure how that would work. Like having full-blown cities would be lame to me, so maybe it isn't really a great idea. You guys who have watched more movies and stuff probably have a better idea of how to merge classical fantasy with futuristic themes.

I don't think it would be that difficult. As you say they're halfway there already and BotW was also in some ways a post apocalypse story. I liked that concept art they showed a while back where Link had like a curse that gave him a calamity Ganon looking arm which gave him dangerous powers. Something like that could be fun to make a new signature mechanic in a tonally different story. I think they're probably going to have to leave Hyrule this time though because now we have a full map of the continent

And now just to pontificate on Nintendo games for a moment, I'm thinking about times when they went all out with a game in an established franchise like that and a couple things come to mind, Breath of the Wild of course and Fire Emblem: Awakening which famously was going to be the last one so they just went wild. The odd thing about these three games is that despite being huge departures, Awakening and presumably Breath of the Wild established new templates for the series (though the Awakening template was really shoehorned into Fates) while Odyssey seems non repeatable. Whereas I'm excited about the next Zelda evolving that open world formula I could not possibly guess what's next for Mario. Probably he won't get another crazy one for a long time

I've seen arguments that the platforming elements of Odyssey are a little dumbed down vs the Galaxy games and that may be true but I think Odyssey is just such a complete package and it's full of like game magic (for lack of a better, less cheesy and fanboyish term). Some of the captures just made me shake my head because of how crash Nintendo went with Odyssey

Anyway I've been playing Nioh while we're talking games. It's fun and cool but it's too hard. Cheers

Odyssey is my favorite 3D Mario with the caveat that my experience with Sunshine is pretty limited but it definitely wasn't my favorite anyway

I'm getting it fixed for a lot less, it's just gonna look bad. It didn't look amazing anyway so whatever

That sounds hilarious. People in offices LOVE talking about what day it is

They're having a particularly bad week in terms of shadiness but luckily for them most people don't care. I don't even care enough to figure out what I should be doing to protect myself better and i feel like I am along with everyone else in this topic in the 99th percentile of online wisdom, which is to say I'm alright at posting and I'm not naive about what I'm doing

I did not know that. That's a legit nightmare so thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I can never quit Instagram until such a time as there is a better avenue to view pictures of my nieces

I just learned a disturbing truth: if you look at those Snapchat knockoff stories on Facebook, the creator will see that you did. So if you're stalking someone and they have a story up, think carefully about your next move.

In other news, they said my car is gonna cost $3000 which is $1000 more than I paid for the actual vehicle just to replace some parts. What the hell is happening to this country

Edit: and before you give advice I'm not paying no damn $3000 to fix that car, I'd sell it to a junk yard for 300 first

Incredible stat I just read: a 16 seed has never gotten past the second round

Minnesota Ice is a trash name.

I'm casually watching this Michigan State game. Every time I look up Michigan State misses a three gets the rebound misses another three and so on

MNTwins1991 posted...

It's funny how Bracket Genius STLCards (yes I know this is an ironic name) picked UVA to win, and they we the first 1 seed ever to lose to a 16

Well our Spartans are getting crushed 10-9 so hold your laughter for now

At one point we were all doing alright. Now our group has gotten pretty bad. Oh well

happy St. Paddy's day to all, especially those hooligans Squall7491 and STLCards1991. I, being 11% Irish, am partying hard, of course.

Here's a tweet from magary I saw today that made me chuckle
https://twitter.com/drewmagary/status/975109285003841536

Then he would hate St. Louis! Boy oh boy do we celebrate our white heritage here. There's seriously like four parades. If I go to one I go to the one by my childhood home in the Irish part of town (unironically it's probably one of the top 2 or 3 cool neighborhoods in the city but it is also way too into the Catholic shit around) then there's the downtown parade and the fancy county parade and then some others. I heard about a fourth one for the first time yesterday!

Anyway thanks and happy St. Paddy's to you too. I hope you got to eat corn beef and cabbage (I never eat the cabbage)

Ah-roooooooo!!
