That doesn't sound right the Cardinals must have cheated

I can't root for the Dodgers. It's not fair being in a division where one team clearly has way more assets/money/market appeal. Of course you probably feel that too with the Cubs. I guess the little guys in the NL East have it worst with two of those teams. Admittedly all four of those teams currently have a good amount of homegrown talent helping them out, but still.

NL East seems like it would be the best division to try competing in with the cheap-ass Mets and Marlins. Or the AL Central I guess but that's just because it sucks. I don't know enough about those teams to say how actively cheap/shady their ownership is

Did you guys say the f word a lot growing up? Not fuck, the other one. I mean I'll admit I did, but when I was like 12... I think it was just a thing a lot of people my age said at that time and didn't think much of. I'd say I largely stopped well before I was 17/18 and almost certainly wouldn't have tweeted it at any age. It's crazy to me that these guys are still like that at an older age, and also being younger overall so they grew up in a time with more gay acceptance

Then again athletes have never exactly been a paragon of intelligence/good decision-making

Looks like now it's Trea Turner. Can't say I'm really surprised that baseball players are like this, but good lord... you'd think that these guys would go back through this stuff after Hader.

I feel like it won't be long before scrubbing social media accounts becomes a regular part of agents' duties

Yeah but nobody knows anything or cares about Danish politics. Also I don't know anything about Nelo_Portgas either except that I recognize the username.

There actually used to be a pretty big archiving site that included PotD a few years back, but then it stopped saving posts from here, and now it looks like it's gone altogether. There's a newer one now too but I was looking at it just now and apparently it only saves back a couple purges, not everything

I don't have a Twitter but my long history of gfaqs shitposts wouldn't look good

The Rockies swept the A's. They've been great in interleague this year, maybe they should move to the AL

Yay nostalgia I guess? I don't get why they'd do this now, instead of the beginning of the year, or last year... made me wonder if David Dahl had a setback, but it looks like he got activated for Triple-A yesterday. Weird.

If he makes the major league club it's going to be pretty weird seeing Holliday and CarGo on the same team. Not just because they were once traded for each other but also because any Rockies fans who still have old Holliday jerseys will have the wrong number now

No thanks, you can trade him to the Brewers to be Hader's best Bud

The Rockies are once again in the position where they're technically contending, but not really all that good. I expect them to maybe buy on a second-tier reliever (like Pat Neshek and Rafael Betancourt in years past)

It's like when my Trump-supporting friends would say "Well I doubt your life is going to be affected that much". Great way to show how much you really care about people. Some just can't see outside of their own bubble I guess

Edit: I should say, that's a reasonable way to console somebody who is upset about the election, but it's pretty dumb IMO to just vote based on your own self-interests when your life is already pretty good

After Holland, Bryan Shaw and arguably Wade Davis, I'd be surprised to see any more big name relievers want to sign here again. Starters already learned that lesson ages ago

That's what's weird about those Alamo Drafthouses to me (well, and normal theaters that sell beer now). I'd have to go see something where I don't really care about missing stuff because beer makes me pee a lot

Excellent gif choice

Raise your hand if you totally knew that Joakim Soria was still around and weren't at all shocked to hear that he was the centerpiece of a trade

Don't they already have one of the worst farm systems in the majors?

We had a pretty crazy thunderstorm with heavy winds tonight and there are trees down all over and we're very lucky none fell on our house

Kevin Love 4 year/$120 million extension. Jeez. Congrats to him but I don't think he's worth that. This is why the Cavs are a joke

I was stalking you guys' user profiles and realized CaptainHammer will be exactly ten years old in three days. Congraturation!

I'm not sure if it's been said yet but Sunny, you could just, y'know, change your username

Just because the sig was "allowed" strictly speaking doesn't mean it can't get modded. Shut the fuck up dude, you know exactly what you're doing.

Disruptive posting.

Like there's literally no value to posting "WWWWW" over and over unless you're just trying to mess up the formatting. And I don't actually care about the formatting, to be clear, but helly's "GUISE WHY'D I GET MODDED" shtick is getting pretty old.

Why can't we have random letters on our sigs now?

Putting a bunch of W's together fucks things up because they're wider than most letters. For me his sig extends out of the post box

No, I actually think the opposite, which is why your phony outrage attention whoring over getting modded is obnoxious

Dude your sig is going to get modded and then you're going to bitch and pretend you weren't doing it on purpose and then hopefully you'll also get modded for the bitching so we can all laugh

Why that sig

It's like you're trying to get modded on purpose

Maybe just close your 80 different accounts if you hate it here so much

I know what Backloggery is, that doesn't really help with this

Yeah I'm gonna try randomizing. Made a weighted list, gonna try that out for a while and see if I don't hate it.

Well you should see what SNES games are already on there, because I don't think they're going to add any more, but it will also probably be ages before they shut down the eShop. They didn't even start shutting down the Wii shop until this year (which I think is still open, but you can't add funds).

Those Milwaukee fans are dumb. Perhaps other fanbases would have all done the same, who knows. But really now, all you gotta do is not boo, there's no reason to give him extra cheers

The Rockies and Pirates are never going to lose again

How does somebody manage to leave Coors and get worse

Bill Nye

Edit: Okay, maybe we're wearing this joke out a bit

Cards score 18 runs. Psh, not impressed. 19 > 18

I might make some kind of weighted randomizer but I'm too lazy to the cataloging all my games part

Too bad his teammates were stadpadding and he got pulled (I'm assuming) because of the blowout so now he can't go for four

I don't know at what point it happened but apparently Carlos Gonzalez has a higher WAR than Charlie Blackmon this year. I got caught off guard by that since he was an all-star, though it looks like that's mostly due to his defense falling off a cliff. The offensive numbers are okay, but not MVP-level like last year.

I also just realized that CarGo isn't even a full year older than Blackmon so this makes some sense but it feels weird because Blackmon was a late-bloomer having his best years around the same age CarGo was declining

Usually I cycle through my libraries for various systems and end up not really deciding on anything, then I repeat until that process results in me actually making a decision. I'd like to figure out some method that results in me actually playing games. I could always just go with some good old randomizing, but then I'd be too tempted to re-pick when I get something I don't feel like playing, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Sometimes the scenery and frequent emptiness vaguely reminds me of BotW and then I'll go up next to a steep hill and be disappointed when I remember that I can't climb it.

One match I almost jumped off cliffs/big hills like three times because I was ready to pull out my glider like Link. But I think that one is less dumb of me since you use a very similar glider on drop-in

I'll basically play it when I'm not really playing through anything and I get tired of raging at my main go-to MP game, Rocket League. Since it's so random/luck-based I don't really get angry when I lose, but that also keeps me from getting too interested in it.

My best Fortnite finish was 9, but that was in a game where I didn't see anyone until it was already down to 26 or something. Actually in that match I glided in so long on the initial drop that it was already low 80s by the time I landed. It's mildly fun to me but I'm not all that convinced it's really a good game.

Half the time I shoot people it seems like I miss even though it looks like I'm right on target. One time I got a sniper rifle but the bullets would take three seconds to get where I was shooting, it was like the speed of a rocket launcher but without the splash damage to be useful against a moving target.

I like when they call it their own "business" or "company" but then they can't even give you a website. Any serious business has a website now, even if it's just a Facebook page or something

Like have you ever had a friend that got into some pyramid scheme that they tried to rope you in? Isn't it awkward? That's what I feel like I'm doing when I try to "network" with a stranger

I don't really enjoy it but I'm on there since I always read how it's "mandatory" to get a professional job nowadays. You aren't really missing much. It would probably useful if I could bring myself to cold-network with people, but everything about that seems so phony and transactional.

Sometimes I do get actual reasonable jobs sent to me, but it's almost always either out-of-state, or ends up being some company I already interviewed and got rejected with

Do you guys ever get contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn? Do you even have LinkedIn profiles?

It's always such a mixed reaction when I get these messages. Today I got one for a job that pays $60-70 an hour, which makes me feel like I must be doing something right, but it's obvious I'm woefully unqualified for it. And it's obvious these people either don't look at my profile or don't bother to change their form messages because they'll say "In case you're looking for a new role" but my headline literally says I'm looking for a new job

Something I realized today is that LeBron has already played in the NBA for more seasons than Jordan, and still hasn't shown signs of slowing down. That's crazy. Then again, MJ came back at age 38 after missing three seasons and dropped 23/6/5. Also he still has more career points although LeBron will catch him next year. Basically, these dudes are both insanely good at basketball

I remember when you mentioned you got warned for asking Sunny to call AA, so then you thought for some reason you'd be able to get away with putting that in your sig. I don't understand you. Sometimes I too will purposely get myself modded to prove a point, but you go way too far with that.

Now there are already rumors he's warming to the idea of playing in Toronto. I don't know what to believe.

I was looking through some notes of mine and remembered that game testing job. It's been a while now since I've heard anything after several days of playing phone/email tag, so that might be over. All I found out was that it would pay $28-$32 an hour (which isn't bad), but still don't know what company it is
