Poll of the Day > Sports Discussion Topic #177: The Playoffs are the REAL Golden Nights

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd like to take this time to declare the broncos as my official side-chick team. They have my dude Case "Big Balls" Keenum, and miller and ton of other great players. plus that legal kush, and cool uniforms

Here's a joke about JR Smith that I heard but it's an Avengers: Infinity War spoiler

Maybe J.R Smith saw over 14 million possible outcomes, and this is the only one where they win the series

That made me smile. Or maybe another guy saw it so he had to let JR "Star Lord" Smith do his thing.

Rockies bullpen sux

As won 16-0

Got damn

Every team in the NL West sucks so I wonder who will come out on top.

The dodgers are the easy bet

The people in the adjacent apartment have been fucking for like two hours. They woke me up two hours ago and I fell back asleep and they woke me up again 10 minutes ago and maybe just finished as I was typing this because now they're having a conversation. At first I thought it was a guy watching porn and violently jackin it because the moaning was so over the top but it's also too repetitive. It would be like if someone was watching the same 6 second clip over and over again. The moaning became kind of a sad sound the more I heard it, like it symbolized their inability to finish the job.

The Giants will be interesting when Cueto and Madbum come back. They've had a lot of pleasant surprises with Gorkys Hernandez, Mac Williamson and Alen Hanson hitting quite well.

That's true, but those guys are playing over their heads.

The real beast is obviously Brandon Belt and his career has been very weird. He just secretly became really good it seems

And esports related I just got my first play of the game in overwatch. It was high noon.

It gets boring to think about how bad a certain player on your team is so it wasn't until Ozuna just hit his 4th (!!!) homer of the year on June 2nd having had no DL stints or anything this year that I was reminded of how bad he is. He's sooo bad

That's impressive, only 4? Even worst player in the NL Ian Desmond has 9. Actually that's kind of a lot for a player of his "caliber", so not really a fair comparison. I guess that's the only thing he's decent at

He hit like nearly 40 last year. I'm not terribly surprised that he's having a bad year because he was still unproven as a consistently good hitter (though I was excited they traded for him) but the lack of power is ridiculous. If he was hitting .190 with 10 homers it would make more sense to me.

The Mario Tennis Aces demo tells me it's a really good game but the P2P latency is, as always, pretty bad. When you get a match with no lag it's an intense fun experience but if you're lagging at all it's straight up unplayable.

Go Caps.

Kuznetsov is most likely gonna play awwwwwwwwwww shit

Guess Scherzer is a clutch hitter now. Comes on as a pinch hitter in the top of the 14th, gets a single, and is the winning run for the Nationals.

Lets. Fucking. Go.

#ALLCAPS

caps

Marcell Ozuna with a grand salami. He's hearing my criticisms.

Lolol

Gotta do it for the fans

Wacha has a no hitter going through 6 innings and now I'm reminded of when he was a rookie he threw 8.2 innings of no hit ball and lost it on an infield single

The Rockies are up 6-1 which is scary because it makes me think of how big of a bullpen meltdown they'll have to lose the game this time

I guess it could be a starting pitching meltdown too since it's only the third

Ahhh it's 6-4 now lol we're definitely going to lose why do I even pay attention to sports

Wacha lost the no hitter in the 9th again. He will never get one and I will never see a Cardinal throw one

Fuck!!!!!!

Bummer. I don't really care that much about no-hitters in general since they're so commonplace now but it sucks watching your own team miss one. Kyle Freeland last year went 8.1 or something

Yeah I'd really just like to see one from a Cardinal. It's crazy it's been 17 years since they've had one. Bud Smith gets to keep his spot in Cardinals trivia as the most recent one.

I saw the Ubaldo one but Freeland's would've been cooler since it was at home

I feel like whenever the Giants have had the chance, they always get it. It's like watching a movie where you know the good guys will win.

Most of the time when a Cardinal is getting close I can *feel* it and then it fails anyway. Really I only don't feel it when it's one of the like five walks and six strikeouts through five innings ones or they have a high pitch count. So basically I'll feel it as long as I think the pitcher is a quality pitcher and if they look amazing.

Jaime Garcia got through 7-2/3 or something with a perfect game one time and I felt like there was electricity coursing through my veins. It was the most dominant performance I'd seen in my life at that point or at least it felt like it. There was no stopping Garcia when he really had his stuff because he had too many ways to get past you and this was his masterpiece. Then some asshole hit a double and it was over.

The Cavs tried their best

I see you like Tracer

Yep. She's my favorite DPS character so far.

Did you look me up on the website or something?

I'm playing with some friends and when I went to join their group I passed by your name and took a look.

Gotcha. I've been toying around with Winston today too. He's really easy to learn and I had some good rounds with him. And I'm trying to branch out with healers other than Mercy too. Not that I don't have fun playing as her but it's nice to have variety when no one else wants to play support.

Playoverwatch.com says my average hero damage per ten minutes is... 4? I think they might wanna check their math. I know I'm a noob but still!

Yeah, Winston is a pretty good hero. I think he's underused.

I pretty much get stuck playing healer with all my friends so I know all about branching out with different healers. It does get tiring playing the same one over and over.

I really like Brigitte cuz she's pretty tanky in addition to the healing

I think she's kinda OP right now

JR Smith has broken the Cavs' will

Lebron said Game 1 of this series was the worst loss of his career. Wonder how he's feeling about that sentiment tonight.

What did JR do this time? Or are you just talking about carryover?

Anyways, LeBron to the Spurs would be interesting, if for no other reason than to see how his reputation as the most vital player to any team's success clashes with Pop's ability to get wins out of random bench guys. But I probably shouldn't keep speculating on his free agency when the season isn't even over yet and we'll probably talk a ton more about it when it's actually happening

One of my cousins is in a sorority and it's pretty insane how often she posts pictures of the same largely identical blonde girl celebrating her 21st birthday in a largely identical fashion.

Yeah just the carryover

Man wtf I just got up and I feel like I slept normally but I'm struggling to keep awake like I got four hours of sleep. I've been sick so I've been slightly more tired in general lately but not nearly like this. Anybody ever have that happen?

A couple times when I drugged myself for sickness or allergies I've had days like that. I remember one time waking up and feeling normal and then being shocked at the level of energy I needed to exert to get out of bed. It was like picking up a 10 lb weight and realizing you grabbed the 40 except it was something I do literally every day
