This is one that always gets people as someone who (a) grew up in Youngstown, (b) had actually family members named in mafia books and (c) has his great-grandfather's pardon papers from his time in Sing Sing -
I've never seen a single episode of The Sopranos in its entirerty.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

I can't believe the plan to sit two of their best hitters isn't working out for Boone and the Yankees. Good thing there's Plan B of going to the bullpen with Fried at 102 and the bottom of the order up

Can both be true that ND's defense has been crap and maybe, just maybe, they aren't as good as we thought they would be - but that also they've lost 2 games to 2 now Top-10 teams by a total of 4 points in the final minute each time and that being ranked 21/24 despite being 0-2 is kinda too low?

I can't believe how much better this offense is when they get the ball to J. Love. Who would have thought?

Never schedule a game in this God forsaken stadium ever again. Unless it's against James Franklin.

Joey Scarbury was a 26 year-old backup singer for Loretta Lynn — with no record label — when he was picked to sing the theme for “The Greatest American Hero (Believe It Or Not)”.
“I thought it was a really cool song. I had no idea it was going to become iconic.”
Peaks at #2 today in 1981.

Here on the North Coast we could easily chuck a lot of walleye, but for culinary enjoyment maximization I'd go with the Slumberjack or Mac & Sheesh from Fire! Chicken, though for convenience, the Large Marge from White Turkey in Conneaut makes a suitable grenade size projectile for rapid deployment.
Every city choose your anti-fascist culinary projectile challenge.
And they want to try this in Chicago?
Taking a sub to the chest is nothing compared to catching a 60-pound deep dish pizza.
There's going to be a lot of feds with giant circles punched clean through their stomachs, standing there all confused like Wile E. Coyote.

I'm not superstitious (maybe a little stituous) but the Yankees won 4 straight games and scored a buttload of runs with Dominguez batting leadoff then took him out of that spot and have gone 3-6 (about to be 3-7) since, with one of those 3 wins a game with Jasson hitting #1. I dunno, seems to work?

This all-star game answers the question "what if you turned into the game only for announcers talking and the playing was just kind of there to provide color and atmosphere"

Dominguez in the leadoff spot resulted in 4 straight games with 10, 8, 6 and 11 runs. Not in lineup yesterday: 2 runs (in a desperate 9th garbage time fake rally). Today's lineup: 6th.

Sitting in a meeting today discussing what a pain in the butt SB1 is for us here in Ohio, abd I had what I thought- for me anyway- was a profound thought.
Inclusion is the unsafe space for those whose safe space is exclusion.

So they're doing that thing where they play shorthanded for 3-4 days and don't put a guy on the IL only to play him and then he ends up needing an IL stint anyway after with not one but two guys now? Cool. Cool.
Yankees/Blue Jays Lineups!
Tonight's winner gets first place in the AL East
Yanks have been in 1st since April 14, alone on top for 79 days
Biggest lead was 7 games at the end of play on May 28, but they're 13-17 since then while the Jays are 20-10
Game at 7 on Prime Video, Pregame at 6:30

If my math is correct the Yankees have scored a total of 5 runs since the start of the 8th inning on Wednesday night. It's the 6th inning on Tuesday. That's 54 innings later. Ugh.

What ridiculous thing haven't the Yankees managed to do on the bases these last 4 days? Even when they aren't trying to, something stupid happens.

The inability to get the guys at the bottom of the order out is easily the most confounding thing about this Yankee season. I think the 8-9 hitters are batting .647 so far.

We're approaching 18 years of marriage and every single time my wife changes the TP roll, I have to switch it and correct it. She either doesn't notice, knows it bothers me and I'll switch it so does it to annoy me or is just oblivious to the whole situation and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
