Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Baez initially reached base on a strikeout... because the catcher DIDN'T THROW THE BALL TO FIRST. WHAT EVEN GODDAMN JESUS FUCK
It's stillweird to see the Cubs playing AGAINST the team doing that instead of being that team.

And lost the perfecto in the the 9th thanks to an error by the 3B.

Gossage-y baseball rules question for y'all: Last night, Boston-Cleveland. 7th or 8th inning, Nunez, on a 2-0 pitch, takes a big ol' wide swing on a pitch from Kluber. He misses and kinda corkscrews himself into the ground. Next pitch, Kluber hits him. All involved, along with broadcast teams, know that it's intentional, in retaliation for the previous swing. Huh? Has anyone ever heard of that apparent unwritten rule that you're showing up the pitcher by taking too big of a swing? That could be the dumbest old school rule yet.

The Code is so stupid. Maybe there's some history between Kluber and Nunez?

Also, how about that three-part Yankees/Tigers brawl?

Bettances is either a goon (if it was intentional) or a moron (if it was unintentional and he didn't realize how it looked in context).

That's just silly, I'll bet it is because he can't think of a cool name.

For softball we picked our names and numbers. I chose Ciotógach which I was told loosely translates to lefty, don't recall my number, 666 was taken though.

From the comments: "He should have went with “sticks”, as his number is 11 and he clearly has a third one up his ass."

On one team he was on, my friend Joe's shirt read "Joey Joe Joe Jr Shabadoo."

The whole nickname thing is a neat enough idea, but the special jerseys that look like they were drawn from 90s kid's sugar-addled brain, are fugly as can be.

Edit: Ellsbury's nickname is Chief? :twitch:
