Machado is a lot better than Devers though

I picked them randomly. I guess the Yankees are the ones linked to him.

He's not playing for the damn Cardinals. He's gonna turn down our 8 year $215M deal to play for the Red Sox on a similar value deal because of some weird clause that the Cardinals refused to give him

The fact that he only had two pitches also works towards @STLCards1991's belief that he would get murdered by today's hitters

The basically undisputed positional GOATs are Ruth in RF, Gehrig at 1B, Schmidt at 3B, Bench at C, and *400 second long groan* Honus Wagner at shortstop probably. Thanks for making A-Rod move to third, asshole Yankees.

Babe Ruth would strike out 250 times this season and Walter Johnson would have a 6.66 ERA

That's just dumb. I've looked at his stats before and I can't really contextualize them too well but I remember comparing him year to year to like Sidney Crosby or whoever I knew to be good at the time and thinking like oh he had 8x as many goals as Crosby does when he was his age.

In baseball it's all completely disputed all the time. There are too many factors that get people riled up (PEDs primarily but Ruth didn't play against non whites for example) but the one thing I can think of is that Pedro Martinez at his peak was the best pitcher who ever lived. You'll get some love for peak Sandy Koufax and Kershaw had momentum for a minute there but really Pedro is the only reasonable stance to take for GOAT peak

If we're back on tinder bios chat for the moment, another thing I like is "5'5" because apparently that matters on here" along with "I don't care how tall you are"

The president tweeted about that

Apparently my co-worker knows the girl who poured a drink on tomi lahren. I didn't know it happened in Minneapolis

That owns very very much

I have now seen Solo twice. Probably won't be seeing it again for a while, but, you never know

How was it? I'm going to see it today. I was okay with waiting to see it, but my kids wanted to see it in theaters.

No spoilers below, just my thoughts in spoiler tags.

I like it very much. The first act is slow and it gets better as it goes. I prefer it to Rogue One

Thanks dudes. By BMI I'm still like half a pound shy of being overweight though last I checked lol. BMI is a tough judge

To lose weight. It's part of why I'm down 30+ pounds from the start of the year

And as an aside, I must reiterate that I am using tilt controls.

Don't worry, to me you'll always be a suck hole.

So for most of 2018 I haven't been eating sweets of any kind and as a result when I do decide to partake the stakes are incredibly high. For the most part I've been disappointed and just wished I had eaten a candy bar or something. Anyway, I'm gearing up to get some ice cream soon. Have you ever had Thai rolled ice cream? It looks so cool but I'm afraid it won't taste as good as it looks when I could get some frozen custard instead! There are so many artisan ice cream shops in St. Louis that I want to try, but there's honestly an extremely low chance they're as good as the one that's like 100 years old, Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

Reminder that Blizzard changed Tracer's pose because they don't want you thinking about her sexually

Wow this is censorship. I'm gonna j/o to her right now to get back at them.

To me, Tracer is actually demisexual (never played Overwatch)

I'm using tilt controls!

Because it details the behavior, it isnt appropriate but people act like making inappropriate comments and trying to grab a girls butt are the same as Cosby raping people

Careful, Mead, that sounds like Mark Wahlberg talk, and we all know Wahlberg is a rapist defending piece of shit.

Beyond him ya know beating a guy so badly he went blind

Excuse me, sir, this is slander! Mark Wahlberg only beat up a man who was already blind!

I'm new to this sport but I think it'll be key for both teams to create opportunities on offense.

I am officially endorsing the Washington Capitals and the western conference NBA representative.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

My apartment building has laundry units but you need a card to operate them and I've been here two months and still haven't gotten a card. So I have been making that same mfw as our friend from Minnesota for two months

You can also unwind with a retro Nintendo video game.

I remember 99% of the things that have happened to me online

Oh and Phazon. Phazon was just a good guy though like TW

edit: rather than triple post I'll just edit this in. We were talking about Breaking Bad on ProM one time and this dude Zersch was going through it and something he said made me go "oh no, you're probably one of those guys who thinks the super lab is cooler than the RV, aren't you?" And he freaked out on me for being an elitist and then when I said it's not that serious he said "you can't just take a shot at someone and then tell them how to feel about it"

I made like a thousand posts on ProM before I accepted that the people there didn't like me aside from TW and my brother dark_prime

He was just a terrible person. The kind of PotDer who would complain about people posting about their personal lives but would expect you to be up to date on all the characters in his life

Do you guys remember thedarkcrusader? Of course you do and of course you probably hated him because he was awful. Anyway recently I was reminded of one of his old signatures and now I have to tell you all about it too. He had one of those old PotD like stars people used to put in their sigs oh 12 years ago or something and then it said in italics "I could care less if the cake was a lie, I'd still want to share it with you." The abject horror of that signature has been haunting me for days

Folks I saw Solo tonight. Because it is a Star War, the slightest bit of opinion even is a spoiler so I will be tagging my very brief thoughts below.

I liked it!

It's star wars night for the twins and lance Lynn did good. The Lord (or should I say the force) works in mysterious ways

Lastly, I love that he and Ohtani play together because they are my two favorite players, but I hate that they play on the west coast. Most times Ohtani pitches I don't even think to look at his line until like 12 hours after he's finished because I've been sleeping and getting ready for work and whatnot. Trout I end up checking in on like every few days

The best thing about Trout is that he develops tiny holes in his game and then fixes them until they become a strength. He's been doing this for years and it's how his walks keep going up and his strikeouts keep going down, but now he's even fixing things about his game that weren't bad (his very good speed) by improving his body's performance. Saying the things he does are stupid is also an undersell because they're not just stupid, they should be impossible.

I just finally read that post Sam Miller wrote about Trout that's been going around the last couple weeks about how even when he doesn't get a hit his WAR often goes up because he contributed in other ways. I had heard this before but it bears repeating that he's getting faster. It's one (stupid) thing to develop the best batting eye in the world as he has to go with the more common power increase that he's also experiencing, but to actually notice that you're getting slower as your power hitter body develops and then finding a way to counteract that is basically unprecedented. His speed and center field defense are elite again when just a couple years ago he seemed to be trending toward a future as the best hitter in baseball who would eventually move to a corner outfield spot.

Vegas vs Washington is like the best case scenario for me other than a Blues win. The troll/interesting team vs the team that can't get over the hump. The Lightning wouldn't be bad either but just kind of anticlimactic

It's weird and incredibly good.

I know you're making a joke but it's also true. He would have been a better example than my theoretical future Greinke thing earlier

Oh yeah those are all good picks. Jose Martinez on the Cards would also be one though it remains to be seen just how good he is. Charlie Morton is pretty good and was twice seen as worthless before reinventing himself.

The Phillies got Odubel Herrera in the rule 5 draft. I'll try and think of more

I think it's cool too, but I would be interested to peer into an alternate reality where this was happening with a baseball team instead to see how I felt about it. A lot would depend on if I liked the players on the team probably, but of course the sports are so different it's hard to come up with ways that this could work for baseball. There's no equivalent to grabbing an elite goalie, though I guess if they could grab a former ace pitcher that would be a start. Like maybe two years from now Greinke sucks enough for an expansion team to trick AZ into salary dumping him along with some good players and then he's back to his old self

Btw after a literal month I finally finished God of War over the weekend and I then tried to set up the Wii U for Donkey Kong as I threatened but it turns out I don't have a power cord for my gamepad at my apartment. I may never play it now, who knows. So as per this topic I started Super Mario RPG on my SNES classic. Seems pretty weird and cool

At least the NHL final is going to be interesting. At this point the most interesting NBA result is the Celtics beating the Warriors which would also be the worst thing ever

Yeah sometimes a Guinness is like $8 at a bar for some reason, like when I first got one at a bar I thought it was fancy for that reason. I used to drink it a lot too because I thought it looked cool in a glass. Now when people ask me what kind of beer I like I say I like an IPA and I'm not even sure if I do.

Anyway back on topic. $14 is insane for a beer and I too would just not drink on principle no matter where I was. $14 worth of concessions should be at least a beer and something else

People love animal crossing but there are like 40 different AC amiibos and they don't do anything for you unless you have amiibo festival or your 3DS has an amiibo reader. Also everyone loves their villagers not the characters who appear in every town.

I'm thinking about hooking the Wii u back up to play Tropical Freeze. @STLCards1991 has that game and I've never played it but the discussion around the switch version has me wanting to try it but $60 for that feels a little ridiculous to me

They entered the year saying they'd try a four man rotation and Eovaldi got hurt like the first week so it's just been a cluster fuck since then

I don't do online dating right now but I'd see Myers-Briggs types on a lot of Tinder profiles. Also, everyone loves Netflix, pizza, tacos and dogs, and has WANDERLUST.

The dogs thing kills me. About half of the profiles say "I'll probably like your dog more than you"
