They lost both games of the double-header yesterday How will they lose tonight?

Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have gone a lot worse and you guys would still line up to buy the damn things anyways

This thing is going for $499.99 (digital ed.) / $629.99 in Canadian funbucks And just to compare: Apparently the Xbox Series S / X will be priced at $379.99 / $599.99

We were supposed to get the final season of Attack on Titan this fall I had a look at the chart a few days ago. I didn't really see anything worth looking forward to. Guess I'll wait and see what Crunchyroll will have and try some new shows out if I get really bored.

Now we're losing 7-0 to the Phils. Uuuuggghhhhhhh

That 16 run lead was unblowable Their hitters still had time to pile on some more runs if they really needed to.

I haven't played a game in weeks

It was a pretty good run for the 3DS, and it ended up sticking around a bit longer than most would have thought after the Switch was released.

The Yankees really kicked the shit out of the Jays this week The scores were 20-6, 13-2, and 10-7. Lots of homeruns were hit against Jays pitching. Last night the Yanks hit 5 homers in a single inning! Ugh.

I honestly can't tell if Ma was being serious or sarcastic. If it's the former, then I want to see some specific examples of how people out east have poorer manners than westerners (Obviously it's all just silliness, like Slix said, there are all kinds of different people everywhere... you can't really generalize about whole regions / groups of people like that... or maybe you can )

Another day, another blowout

Do it over again, but this time use MS Paint

Time to move east, west coasters

Are Sony and MS trying to out-ugly each other with these dumb looking new consoles

Yeah, this is definitely the summer of the bullpen. What I'd like to see when it comes to position players pitching, is the team on the other side of the blowout also putting a position player out on the mound. When the Yanks were were up like 19-3 last night and they pulled their starter, why even bother with a reliever from the bullpen? Especially if the guys in the 'pen need a bit of rest. Just put a backup infielder on the mound for a couple innings. The game was over.

Kawhi and George shot terribly in that game. At least Kawhi is usually clutch. PG's reputation is a little less reliable... but I expected Kawhi to pull the team through somehow. In the end, I think Harrell was the Clippers' leading scorer. That doesn't bode well And Murray finally went off for the Nuggets, 40 points. Obviously all those missed shots are a big story for the Clippers, but I think the Nuggets out-played them, plain and simple. Jokic killed them on the boards, and the Nuggets were moving the ball (and of course scoring the ball) better for most of the game. If it's a Celtics/Lakers NBA Finals, then that's when I will tap out and mostly stop watching. Both teams have been there so many times throughout Finals history, I want some variety. Right now I'm cheering hard for the Heat and the Nuggets

The Joker is so damn fun to watch, Murray too. I didn't want to cheer against Kawhi, but I'm 100% on board the Nuggets bandwagon now. Going into Q4 with an 8 point lead

The Jays are down 20-3 in the bottom of the 8th and we've got a position player pitching

Steve Cohen to buy the Mets Congrats Mets fans, the franchise might finally turn around once the Wilpons are out of the picture. Still one more hurdle to get over before it's actually final, but if there was any real concern about the other owners not approving of the sale then I doubt things would progressed this far.

Not looking good for the Isles

Fingers and toes crossed! They're definitely not a favourite to win it, so I assume those bets would pay out pretty well if they do win it.

I haven't tried a wide variety of sake, but I have enjoyed what I tried. Soju (Korean) is also very nice. Vietnamese rice wine tends to be on the stronger side compared to a typical sake. It's definitely not for everybody. There's really no replacement for it over here in Canada. When I'm in the mood for it, I just grab a nice bottle of vodka and pretend it's the real thing. I've really been enjoying some local vodkas lately, but the flavour just isn't the same.

Yep. From an ESPN article: MLB is implementing an expanded 16-team playoff format for the 2020 postseason. The top two teams in each division, plus the two remaining teams with the best records in each league, will make up the eight-team fields in the American and National Leagues. The division winners will be the top three seeds in each league, with the second-place teams slotted as seeds four through six, and the remaining two qualifiers seeded Nos. 7 and 8. The first-round matchups will follow a 1-vs.-8, 2-vs.-7 format and will be best-of-three series, giving things a March Madness feel. Even if the Jays drop behind the Yanks in the AL East standings, they're in a good position to be one of the 7/8 seeds - unless they really fall apart down the stretch. I like Toronto's chances in a best-of-3 series. They don't have the starting pitching depth for a longer series, but they do have Ryu and a bunch of very solid arms in the bullpen. And the ability to score runs. I can see them stealing a first round series from a better team. If the next round goes to best-of-7, then it's a different story. In any case, it's all very exciting and I'll be happy even with a first round exit as long as the games are competitive. 2015 was supposed to be their time, stupid Royals The 2020 Jays team is very young. Lots of potential, but also quite a few holes that need to be plugged. If the young core keeps developing and they add some more complementary pieces to the team, then I think they could really be competitive in another year or two. This year expectations are lower and just making it into the postseason is a victory.
