Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

I think my phone should have a setting where I can see what my wife has set her alarm for so I know if she slept through it or just set it kind of late.

It is only through luck that we do not have perpetual games going on.

When does the ALCS start? Are both of these teams just fucked from a bullpen perspective? Yeah shit they gotta go on Sunday. Take a bunch of pitches Blue Jays hitters.

Jess: Is Paul Thomas Anderson black?
Me: No
Jess: Then maybe he better watch himself.

You might be asking “who is going to the 10am Friday morning showing if One Battle After Another, two weeks after it opened, in one of the four theaters playing it in VistaVision?” Exactly who you imagine. Exactly.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Do you think Ubisoft saw all the money Sinners made and thought about how they could have had a bunch of that or do you think corporations are fundamentally unable to make these kinds of analysis?

I know that Aaron Boone can never be fired because of some sort of witch’s curse or something but I think you can put a lot of this series on him. Also Vladdy went fucking ham on them but they kept pitching to him.

FINAL: Blue Jays 5, Yankees 2

The Toronto Blue Jays are headed to the American League Championship Series. Eight pitchers combined to shut down the Yankees, and a balanced offense overwhelmed New York all series. Game 1 on Sunday at Rogers Centre.

The Yankees fall short again.

Wow I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Limp Bizkit cover of the main theme song. Or the Metallica song that started the downfall of Napster. A cursed soundtrack on every sense.

It’s sort of hard to believe how badly managed both sides of today’s Dodgers Phillies game was. Barring a real miracle the Phillies are going to be thinking about that bunt call all winter. Really bailed out some terrible bullpen calls by the Dodgers.
