Poll of the Day > Sports Discussion Topic #159: The Senators just tied the game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Congrats to Albert Pujols on his 600th home run. Quite an accomplishment for my dear friend.

honest truth: half of everyone I graduated with was somewhat of a dick in high school, but thanks to social media/linkedin, I know I'm not worse off than any of them

kind of jealous of the dude who has a family and races on weekends though

My assumption is that a high school reunion is just people judging you on superficial things like what your job is and whether you have a girlfriend/wife/kids. I don't have any of those (but maybe by next year I'll have a job), so needless to say it doesn't sound very appealing.

yeah but we're millennials so ten year reunions are really just avocado sandwich making contests

This seemed really under-hyped compared to other guys who got 600 recently. Usually you are hearing about it for weeks ahead of time but I pretty much didn't know about this until he hit his 600th

I mean, most of the people I know didn't graduate from college, but I knew that would be the case before I even finished high school

I was in the french immersion cohort, so I had a feeling that most of everyone in that group would be at least going to college and graduating

recently got added on Facebook by one of the dudes that didn't, but then again he's working on the oil rigs and is married. don't really envy him

The Rockies winned and the Dodgers and Diamondbacks losed. Good baseball day, now time to watch the Cavs look helpless against the Warriors again

We're lucky our family got satellite TV in 2003 so we got to watch every Cards game and appreciate​ Albert's dominance on a regular basis for many years. He's been overshadowed by Trout the past few years which seems to have made people forget about him unfortunately, but odds are I'll never see a better Cardinal in my life. He was the man.

He was really annoying to watch because he was so good. He was the next Bonds after Bonds retired so he was the guy you knew was going to hit that home run and there was nothing your team could do to stop it. The only reaction is, "Of course he did". That said, you couldn't help but respect his talent.

The Cavs are done

They were done as soon as Durant joined the Warriors

sum exciting hawkey

the bitter Wild fan in me would like to point out that a very similar goal happened to the Wild in last year's playoffs, but the refs called it in favor of dallas

I dislike JJ Watt just a little bit less now https://twitter.com/JJWatt/status/871903238483783680

Man that was one of the best saves in recent memory, partially due to the fact that it's the Finals

Those were some sick stops but can the Predators please stop giving up Crosby breakaways

That actually makes me dislike him more. It's so #OnBrand for him to deflect praise like that even when everybody knows he's one of the best.

that's a good point. It was definitely a humble brag, and everyone already knew the list is a joke

These goalies are good

on the subject of craptacular personalities, Sidney Crosby and mouthwash. dude can't take a joke

although now that P.K. has talked about mouthwash, it's being revealed how much Crosby is an android developed for the sole purpose of hockey. jokes do not exist in his brain

The Predators just tied the series

Source? Big if true


Bold predictions:
1 preds win the series in 6 (in smashville)
2 Taylor Swift sings the national anthem game 6

My prediction: Pens win in 7, with the home team winning every game. The world mourns.

The penguins are absolutely going to win the series.

Momentum is not in the Penguin's favor though


which is going to make it more heartbreaking when they win

Fuck the Penguins!

Carrie Underwood is married to Mike Fisher. She should get the national anthem every game

I hope Cleveland loses tonight

the baseball team, because they are playing the Rockies

I wasn't watching the Cards game and they gave up four homers to Scooter Gennett. Wtf

He has 10 RBIs and then another guy has the other 3. Even with four home runs I would have expected the scoring to be distributed a little bit more throughout the lineup. It looks funny seeing a box score where 13 runs were driven in between only two guys.

I knew you didn't mean basketball because the game isn't tonight

Well fine, I'll try it again tomorrow

Scooter fucking Gennett

"Razor" Scooter Gennett

Cleveland did lose. Mark Reyn🔥lds had what they call a "Half Scooter", 2 homers and 5 RBI

GameFAQs wouldn't let me put in the fire emoji. That's what they call him on the Rockies' official Twitter I guess

Today I looked up the IMDb for a show my sister liked, Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23. I've seen a few episodes and they were funny. Anyway Eric Andre played a character named Mark Reynolds.

I don't know anything about that show except I think the girl who played Jessica Jones was in it

Scooter is a great name. I had a friend in high school whose dad's name was Skip. Also a good name but not quite as good as scooter.

Don't forget the legendary actor Skeet Ulrich. Skeet.

hey we found chewy:

also, trying to trade Cozart is becoming a pain and he's starting to make me ignore the unsustainably high BABIP and wRC+

word on the street is that Matt Dumba is gonna get traded

I didn't know who that is so I thought you were giving him a mean joke name

http://m.mlb.com/video/v1472780883/

This was foul, but damn, he hit that onto the rooftop deck. They're saying 480 feet

That reminds me of my greatest accomplishment: the time I hit a homer out of Safeco Field against Squall with Manny Ramirez in MVP 05.

the Red Wings will take him

they'll probably overpay for him, but still

The Cardinals are just shockingly, comically bad.

Just turned on the Finals game with about 4 minutes left in it. Nice to see that it's competitive for once

Fuck this

Series over.

which bullpen is worse:

1. Minnesota Twins:
B. Kintzler
T. Rogers
M. Belisle
C. Breslow
T. Duffey
B. Boshers
R. Rosario
A. Wimmers
C. Heston

2. PotD Sports Topic:
