Recap
Big CatThe MLB All-Star Game should decide World Series home field advantage, but the fan vote must be eliminated
I actually don't hate that the all-star game decides this. I hate that they're kind of stuck in the middle. So if you're going to have the All-Star game decide where the World Series starts every year, eliminate the fan vote, and treat it like a real game.
PFT CommenterThe MLB All-Star Game should include an inning where position players pitch and pitchers play positions
The seventh inning is the position player pitching inning. Yes. And put your pitchers at position players. Mix it up a little.
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterGoldenEye 007 and Oregon Trail are top-tier video games
GoldenEye is number one since you didn't take it... Number two, I have Oregon Trail.
Interview
Dan HarenThe Cubs will win the National League and the Blue Jays will win the American League
I like the Cubs still. I do like the Cubs... AL, I like the Blue Jays. I do like the Blue Jays, yeah... they had a little experience. They got some guys in the bullpen, pretty good starting staff, and a lineup's a joke.
Dan HarenThe Cubs will trade for a relief pitcher and it will cost them a significant asset
The Cubs probably need to get a reliever. Maybe the Schwarber for Andrew Miller thing happens... I'm pretty certain they're going to add an arm in the bullpen, and it's going to take a lot to get one of those guys.
Pr 101
Big CatMiko Grimes' antisemitic comments can be 'solved' by starting a foundation Twitter account to blame interns
Just start a Twitter account in the foundation's name, the Miko Grimes Foundation account. Then you can say an intern was tweeting and dropping hard J's on everyone's face... when shit hits the fan... boom, intern tweeted it we fired him it's been taken care of.
Thoughts And Prayers
Big CatGiancarlo Stanton will suffer a massive slump after winning the Home Run Derby
Thoughts and prayers for Giancarlo Stanton's swing. He won the home run derby. So everyone knows here comes the slump. You can't win the home run... sorry, man. You're going to have a really bad second half.
Hmm
Big CatPokemon Go is a CIA government conspiracy to track data and map building interiors
Seriously, though, Pokemon Go is a government conspiracy, and I don't know why anyone... my last one was basically Pokemon Go has somewhere sitting with the CIA and they're saying, huh, how do we get inside people's buildings?... Let's just throw a squirtle right by someone's refrigerator. Picture.
Hey Jj
PFT CommenterJ.J. Watt is personally responsible for sweatshop conditions in China and polluting the planet via his Reebok shoes
Hey, JJ, you know where Reebok makes their shoes, bro? In China, they pay him like a dollar an hour to make your shoes. They put nets up outside the buildings to prevent people from committing suicide... Nike is going to have to put all the eight year olds back to work, double shift to keep up with all your shoe sales... Hey, JJ, you know about like the plastics and the chemicals they put in those shoes? They're literally polluting the planet, dude.
