BTW, Jason Kipnis' ankle is FUCKED. Grade 2 ankle sprain and it looks like he has a head growing out of his ankle. Some reporter posted this on Twitter about an hour ago, which is odd because why would you post something like that... It has since been deleted. Kipnis somehow expects to play. Yeah...somehow I doubt that.

Member when Bobby Rainey was awesome for a couple games for Tampa Bay? I member.

You're just describing the Cuyahoga River.

I hate the Jaguars. Mainly because of fantasy and I know that the moment I bench Robinson, he'll go off.

Actually, I'm relatively calm about all of this. Tonight feels like another game. I'm still numb to the fact that the team is in the World Series. If they somehow win it all, well, that's when shit gets unpredictable.

Btw, if Schwarber cranks a homer in his first at bat, I'll probably shit myself.

You get Lester back for game 5 in Chicago though, instead of waiting for game 6 in Cleveland.

Wait...Why does Kendrick still get a title shot when he lost to Swann? WHAT FUCKING SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? Answer: About as much sense as a storyline with Kendrick asking Perkins to lay down for him. Why are Cesaro and Sheamus facing the tag champs tonight in a tag match when they're facing them on Sunday? Regarding the contract signing between Sasha and Charlotte, nothing in the Cell will be as painful as Foley's constant ranting about how painful the Cell is. Maybe if Foley did his spiel once it would have been fine, but he wouldn't shut up about it. Axel's promo was the shit.

Al tried to top himself today by writing an article about how there shouldn't be any more discussion about goats, Bartman, etc...and then proceeded to write about those exact fucking things.

Oh shit yeah, Kyle Schwarber is going to DH. It's on.

On Friday I joked with one of my friends that I had such an easy, winnable matchup this week in my PPR league that I would surely lose and A-Rob and Cooper would score 10 points combined. My opponent started a bunch of nobodies because he was ravaged by injuries and bye week stuff. So of course I fucking lose because A-Rob and Cooper couldn't even score 10 points combined! 8 POINTS? REALLY? 2 from A-Rob and 6 from Cooper. Such production from my #2 and #3 fantasy picks respectively. I hate fantasy football.

$20?! I'll pass.

The Cubs make the World Series for the first time in forever and this is the total garbage that Al Yellon had saved for this special moment. http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2016/10/23/13371154/cubs-dodgers-recap-kyle-hendricks-anthony-rizzo-mlb-scores What a complete and total fucking idiot. Mind you, none of this should be surprising because this is the same dumbass who gets in line for the bleachers at least 4 hours early just so no one else takes his seat, this is the same dumbass who was/is anti-Theo and anti-rebuild, and the same dumbass who sought legal help to stop people from bashing him on Twitter. This response to the article in question is my favorite:

I think Schwarber's going to play. Theo talked about him a lot today and tonight. He looked pretty good in the Arizona league too. That would be one hell of a weapon to have because there's not really much time for Cleveland's pitching staff to adjust to Schwarber and all Schwarber does is kill the ball. For the rotation, yeah, you have to go with Lester-Arrieta-Hendricks-Lackey. Also, as much as I hate to say it, I think you keep going with Heyward off the bench and Almora starting, unless there's a good matchup for Heyward. I'm still numb to all of this right now. My eyes are puffy as hell, I'm really tired, but I don't want this day to be over.

Too many tears. Too many years.

Piggybacking off of what JT said, I can't wait to see what Sony and Microsoft do with this.

By the way, Joe Buck is the worst. There's an excerpt in his book where he talked about learning a valuable lesson about being quiet while calling games. He never shut up at all tonight, so I'm not sure what lesson was learned. And if anyone caught it, Smoltz sounded like he got really annoyed. Buck started going on again about Lester not throwing over, and Smoltz blurts out, "we're talking about this again?!" There was a brief pause after that, and then uninterrupted, Buck continues to drone on and on about Lester not throwing over.

That top of the 8th inning was horrendous. Every time Baez pitches it's like that, but that was the worst. He has to know that is just hurting his team, namely the guys behind him. THROW THE BALL YOU FAT FUCK. I swear, it feels like that 8th inning is still going and Baez is still up there pondering life's mysteries. Anyway...looks like I'm headed to Chicago on Saturday.

I've had my best run of waiver wire pickups since the one season where I picked up Gronk and the other season where I picked up Cruz. So in my PPR league, after seeing what happened with Shady on Sunday, I put in a claim for Gillislee on Tuesday morning. I also put in a claim for Ty Montgomery. Wednesday morning at 4 am, waivers cleared. I got them both. And then Shady goes down with a hamstring injury and Lacy goes on IR. Meanwhile, in my 2QB league, someone dropped the Cowboys D and Jacquizz Rodgers. Paid $0 for the Cowboys D and got them to stash away for next week and also got Jacquizz Rodgers. So now I have handcuffs for my Martin and CJA. I also nearly got Cameron Meredith, but got outbid by $5.

Kelce and Wallace.

I said it in the other thread, but showing off Skyrim is the same tease as showing off CoD and Arkham for the Wii U. I'm still cautiously optimistic.

Right, but again, we know there will be new Nintendo games on it. So a new Mario or new Zelda means nothing. That's to be expected. What's important is that if this can be a system to really do it all.

It looks really cool and almost practical, but if online still sucks and if 3rd party support evaporates after it's released, then it's just another Nintendo system to collect dust. Skyrim being in the trailer just reminds me of Arkham City in the trailer for the Wii U. I mean, cool, you're showing off video of an updated game that isn't really powered by the actual system, so it remains to be seen how well it can power it. Had they shown something new, besides Zelda since we all know that will run well, like a Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield 1, or another AAA release coming out in 2017, then there would be a bit more to be excited about. I'm still hopeful though, more hopeful than I was for the Wii U. Also, I wonder what people are more excited for: The Nintendo Classic or the Nintendo Switch.

Wow. Hurt always makes me think of Eddy, which just helped make the trailer look even sadder.

Jason Heyward is fucking horrible. The entire team, except for Bryant and Baez, are playing like shit, but Heyward's at bat was emblematic of his entire season at the plate. A bunch of what the fuck, what are you doing, and you are so disappointing. 18 fucking scoreless innings. Unfuckingbelievable.
