    142mph.

    I know I'm late to the party but is this for real? Is this a joke that's gone over my head? 142 mph? You deserve a medal or a handshake or a pilot's license or something. I don't even know if my speedometer goes that high.

    You want to talk about stuff popular with kids and pre-teens that shouldn't be, how about Grease? My parents wouldn't let me watch it when I was 10, even though I begged. I finally saw it a couple of years ago and totally agreed in retrospect with their decision. What an appalling message!

    Yeah, really. I remember watching that as a kid and it wasn't until I was older that I realized how messed up the entire plot is.

    I loathe watching sports with fellow fans who are too into their fantasy teams. That's when you get this kind of stuff:

    Me: One more strike and we're out of this inning. Come on.

    *batter hits a long fly ball that the left fielder misplays into a walkoff inside-the-park grand slam*

    Fantasy-loving Idiot: Hey, [batter] is on my fantasy team! That'll get me a lot of points!

    Me: Your real-life team just lost!

    FLI: Yeah, but I just advanced to play the Garbage Disposals in the next round!

    Me: Go away.

    This is why I don't, nor will I ever, play fantasy sports.

    I don't really know anyone who roots for their fantasy team over their favorite team... but yeah, I generally don't care to hear about someone else's rosters or waiver pickups unless we're in the same league and it screws me over. Fantasy sports are awesome though, I've converted like 5 friends into baseball fans through playing fantasy, and it helps me keep up with teams I normally wouldn't. I've really come to love the NFL through playing fantasy football.

    I started watching Parks and Rec a while back. There's a whole bunch of subtle FJM references (something called Murbles, something that sounds like VORPies) that made me very happy.

    Yeah, I always liked that he named his production company "Fremulon". The FJM guys have reunited on Deadspin a couple times but I'm afraid he's probably too busy with Parks and Rec to do it again. I'll take that trade off though, P&R is one of my favorite shows on TV.

    I want to pistol whip the next guy who complains about a MiL depth signing.

    No way man, every single player in every level of the minors has to be a REAL PROSPECT. I will accept no less.

    F@^%, give it a rest.

    If you don't want the Orioles to sign Prince Fielder then you are a status quo kool-aid drinker. That is a proven fact.

    I have been talking to this girl for awhile. She's pretty great. Funny, gets me, doesn't judge at all. I always noticed she ate like a vegetarian but it never came out. The other day she told me she was going full vegan in 2012.

    Sigh.

    Deleted.

    Sounds like she's got one up on you, then. :P

    Completely agree. Cannot give you enough rep. This is the sort of neanderthal crap that beer commercial advertising teams come up with. It's embarrassing that it actually caught on.

    Yeah, I'm with you. Same with the "man card" thing. God forbid I do something "unmanly" and someone has to "take away" my man card.

    2 RBs their achilles in one week, followed by another fracturing his hand. Awesome week for fantasy team. Uggh. [see my trade thread in the fantasy section for ways to deal with this disaster!]

    Yeah, between injuries and bye weeks I've got like three healthy guys in my starting lineup next week. Time to make some moves.
