Greatest sports records

Yeah, for crying out loud Joe is one of the best of all time. But there HAS to be some amount of luck involved to manage that streak. This pretty much nails it for me. The fact that he isn't the best of all time, but holds this record tells me there is definitely some luck involved. That doesn't di...

Greatest sports records

Obviously you need an extraordinary amount of talent to be able to get a hit in 56 straight games, but to say talent is the only thing you need to do it is very wrong. There was certainly a large amount of luck involved in the 56 game streak. How much luck? How many lucky hits did he get? How many ...

Greatest sports records

yeah...that. it's baseball. the best player ever could go 0-5 with 5 strikeouts in game 7 of the world series, and it wouldn't mean anything about his ability. you need to be timely, and you can't control it. Yes, there are luck aspects, but 0-5 with 5 k's isn't bad luck. You were either bad or fac...

Colossal TV Show thread

Raising Hope cracks me up. Glad I started investing in it. I kept mentioning it on the other site but nobody seemed to be watching it with me. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. Maybe it helps that I watched the entire series in roughly 2 weeks... I watched it. Great show. As was My Name is...

General Fantasy Baseball Talk

I had the option to keep fielder for $14 and kept Soler for $11 instead. He ended up going 31st in draft, which equates to about 90 after keepers.

TK show is usually great, and I'll sit through them whining about the Wizards for 15 minutes every show. But the March Madness stuff is over the top. Brackets are like Fantasy Football teams, nobody cares about yours. Right now if I need something to fill 15 minutes I'll skip to the last 15 minutes...

TK Show is my go to. It's not completely sports-based, so kinda wonder why you think NFL season will make you like it more?
because dodint hates basketball
I guess I can see that because of all the bracket picking. I'm indifferent about basketball, but still enjoy the show.

5AF Beer Madness (IPA Edition) - Regional Finals

Yeah, sucks that it lost, but I'd rather that than voting for reputation. It is one of the few IPAs that I enjoy more and more as it warms.

No need to revote. I carried over the votes and that will just confuse me.

5AF Beer Madness (IPA Edition) - Finals

On to the Final Four! You do not have to vote for every matchup. Only vote for beers you have actually had so that beers don't win on reputation. If you have had one of them, but not the other, don't feel like you have to vote for it just because you've tried it. 4. Flower Power (4.24) - 3 1. Sculpi...

So all games on the last day of the season will start at the same time, apparently to prevent scoreboard watching by teams. Seems like a good idea.

I think the "rich" part is the biggest problem. I don't know for sure, but I would guess most high level politicians for the rich category.
