Youk Of The Nation

More DPs than the Yankees' clubhouse shower.

This really didn't need another thread.

...never mind, it just posted to GD.

Gameday is frozen. What happened?

Ahhh, that's one of the classic jokes. Never fails to make me laugh, no matter how many times I hear it.

Maybe he's going to sign onto films as Angelina Jolie's stunt lips?

I don't think I'm crazy, but everyone else seems to. You make one suit out of human skin and suddenly everyone's a critic.

Just because you weren't exposed to something doesn't mean you shouldn't be curious. (Unless we're talking about high levels of radiation, in which case, way to be on top of things). All we're saying is check out the movie. We all guarantee you'll enjoy it, and if you don't, well, at least you tried.

You kids these days. Die Hard Came out before you were born, if Major League did. Vertigo, Psycho, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Dr. Strangelove, Airplane!, M*A*S*H, Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Cheers, Taxi.... The list goes on. Most of the best movies and television came out long before either of us were born. That doesn't make it bad. I dare you to watch anything with Leslie Neilsen in it, at least anything except Scary Movie 70 or whatever, or watch a couple episodes of M*A*S*H before Alda started directing, or watch any episode of Taxi centered around Reverend Jim, and tell me it wasn't enjoyable. You don't know what you're denying yourself.

It's definitely not zero tolerance. If you weren't allowed to annoy me at all, everyone would have been gone a long time ago, and it would be just me, posting silently in gamethreads, slowly losing my mind more and more until one day I shot Dustin Pedroia thirty times in the chest outside of a restaurant in a desperate bid to impress Jodie Foster.

Man, imagine if Wakefield had juiced? He might have gotten his fastball up to 80 too!

Despite my rant, I'd rather not have to move large sections of this thread due to religious derailment. So let's just leave it at this. Everyone stop complaining. You all have the right to post pictures whether or not they offend someone else, you all have the right to be mind-numbingly ignorant about other cultures or religions. I won't ban anyone for religious reasons, but I will ban you all if you annoy me.

I just had to google this. I am...I don't even know. Why? Why would someone do that?

You mentioning Christ and the Bible as the absolute truth offends what I believe in. You acting as if a still photo from a Charlie Sheen movie is an affront to what I believe in. This is the internet. Not everyone here is a Christian. Even the ones who are are all different denominations of Christian. We have a couple Muslims, probably some Jews, maybe even a Hindu or a Buddhist, not to mention at least one atheist. As long as it is not explicit sexuality or violence, due to the presence of minors, anyone can post any picture they damn well please. You have two options here. You can scroll past the picture, ignore it after telling yourself it's a prop from a fictional entertainment program, or you can leave. This is not a Christian message board, this is a Red Sox message board. No one, not me, not Thunder, not even someone I hate with a passion and want to ban (a700, maybe?) is going to walk on eggshells afraid to offend someone's religious or political sensibilities. (Just like you're offending mine now). I could ban you for offending MY religious beliefs (or lack thereof), but I won't, because that would make me the very thing I hate more than anything else, someone who insists that all the world around them conform to their narrow definition of what is correct. Do not reply to this post. Do not argue. This is a message board and no one here will bow down to your god or your sacred book. I've told you your ootions. Accept that this is a place to express yourself freely, or never come back again.

I like watching it now, it's a reminder of the days when Charlie Sheen was enjoyable to watch, before he transitioned into playing a parody of himself and then cannonballed into a swimming pool filled with crazy.

If you haven't seen it, you can't be nutted. Because you have no...no marbles!

I think, in response to both the unfathomable decision not to watch either film and the equally unfathomable decision to insist on excluding all but one religion from our free and open message board due to a photo from those same films, I am going to pepper this entire gamethread with quotes from Major League, wherever they can be used without being nonsensical. Do you agree that this is the best course of action, VA? Normally I am loathe to reduce my sense of humor to repeating what others have written, but this seems to be a special case.

I don't even know how to respond to this.

You should, the first one was a great movie. The second one was pretty good too. You can skip Back to the Minors, it was worthless.

Retread vs. Retired

...and they're pretty terrible at baseball, too.

How perfect is that? Glad someone nabbed a photo of it.

The best part is, given how games between these two teams grind out over hours and hours, once this series ends the Yankees' bullpen is going to be more overstressed and used up than Alex Rodriguez's fleshlight. Whatever team they play after the Sox is going to face a pitching staff being held together with scotch tape and twine.

Tell that to every single other team that has won a World Series since about, oh, 1903. Turns out spending a metric shitton of money doesn't always make you the best team. Red Sox fans, and fans of literally every other team in baseball have been trying to point this out to obnoxious Yankees fans in bars and stadiums for longer than I've been alive. Could it be you're finally listening?

Also, Jackie Bradley Jr. is awesome.
