Lotta talk about commercials on here lately so I just want to say that I just saw one where a woman tells her husband that she's fucking Shaquille O'Neal.

An alternate answer, a little older so not really answering the prompt, happens to come in a Letterboxd review of a movie I rewatched this morning boxd.it/gCZvo1

A ★★★ review of The Ring (2002)
I couldn't tell you the last time I watched this, but I can tell you the first time. When I was 15 I went to see it in the theaters with two of my best friends. It freaked us the fuck out. I vividly r...

I loved ET and watched ET a lot and I still love ET, but I also was TERRIFIED of those shots that were just a close-up of his face, and I'd often have nightmares that I'd look out my bedroom window and he'd be standing there like in the scene were Eliott finds him in the shed.

I think most of the time we're exaggerating how fat fat professional athletes actually are but they just showed Rowdy Tellez in the Braves dugout and my god

Jacob Misiorowski and Grant Taylor threw the same amount of innings and struck out the same amount of batters today. Taylor allowed two fewer runs, though.

Orlando Arcia and Prince Fielder being tied for the Brewers' all-time postseason home run record is the funniest baseball fact I've heard in a while

I know we're prone to hyperbole this time of year but that Wells TOOTBLAN has to be one of the dumbest baserunning gaffes, when considering the game type and situation, in quite some time.

If the pope is indeed helping the White Sox he also, based off this weekend's results, pretty clearly prefers Northwestern to Illinois.

Interesting strategy by Dave Roberts here trying to let his starting pitcher complete 6 innings. Everyone knows the ideal strategy is to pull your starter after 2-3 innings and let your closer throw the final 4.

Guy trying to collect a ticket stub for every game of Cal Ripken Jr's streak is apparently down to just 9 tickets sought

Not sure if Venable will announce it before Monday but I think they use Newcomb or Hudson to open for Burke in Game 2. Just a hunch.

White Sox won "bullpen game vs. likely Cy Young finalist" on the road.

We discovered this a few years ago and it's been a ig game-changer. In Chicago and Austin. Also, taxis with airport surcharges are at this point cheaper than Ubers or Lyfts with airport surcharges, more often than not, in my experience.

Taylor can absolutely go 4 innings if he mows 'em down in the 8th like that again, but I legit am not sure who the Sox go to next. I guess you're hoping Newcomb is less toast after 3 days off? Closer Erick Fedde again?

I don't think Jirschele or anyone can do more than use your instincts in the moment like that, but with 2 outs I'm trusting that one of Martinez/potential relay man/Hedges fucks up more than I'm trusting Meidroth (or most hitters) to come through with 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs.

Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I am very in favor of aggressive sends like that where the odds of being safe are <50% in the right circumstances. Make the defense do their job and trust that they're also going to fail on occasion.

Tommy Pham hit a ball 106 mph with a 31 degree launch angle and it was a double play. Colson Montgomery hit a ball 64 mph with a -21 degree launch angle and it was an RBI double.

I loved that send from the moment he made it and people would've wanted to put Jirschele in front of the firing squad if Hedges hangs onto the ball

the launch/exit velo Pham just put on the ball produced homers 23/26 times in the past five years. The three outs were all to dead center.

I always expect Meidroth to be faster than he is, which is probably irrational, because you generally don't expect much speed out of one of your sluggers.
