  - you've got jungle book fever -- nm - the brain Apr 8, 19:05

PSA: I don't know if anyone uses the little Kraft Dinner Cups for quick microwave nuking but one caught on fire in our microwave today - Beaker Apr 8, 17:45 5
- Down here they tell you not to nuke those. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 17:45 4
  - they tell people not to microwave microwaveable cups? no. google says some people forget to add water, but others - fire. I wonder what the deal is. -- (link) - b. Apr 8, 17:51 3
    - Spawn in general doesn't get to play with fire or fire-related materials. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 17:56 2

"The Rockies rookie now has a homer in all 4 career games," -- nm - prayformojo Apr 8, 17:20 8
- at this pace, he'll pass Barry Bonds about halfway through the 2021 season -- nm - the brain Apr 8, 17:22
- also, isn't it really odd that a team isn't scheduled to play on a Friday? -- nm - prayformojo Apr 8, 17:22 6
  - The Mets played Sunday. Then Tuesday. Then not again until today. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:51 4
    - But that's rain right? -- nm - iSpam Apr 8, 18:00 3
      - Nope. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 18:29 2
        
        Huh. -- nm - iSpam Apr 8, 18:34 1
        
        The two games against the Royals were split up and then two days off before the home opener. So weird. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 18:45
  - baseball scheduling is so stupid at the start of the year - ML Apr 8, 17:23

- Heh. - kelly Apr 8, 17:21
- yikes. time for an mri. -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 17:04
- I have no medical skills, but logic tells me to tell you that you should see a doctor tomorrow -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 16:51
- Sorry. Sounds like you need an MRI, could be a tear of some kind. Hopefully it's nothing and you'll be fine with rest. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 16:49
- sounds like it may be impingement. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 8, 16:48 2
  - they amputate for that, right? -- nm - the brain Apr 8, 16:53 1
    - no, a spare mechanical arm is attached while the injured one heals. -- nm - b. Apr 8, 17:01

  - how contagious is this? Will obviously got it from replying to you here, are we all gong to come down with this disease this weekend? :)) -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 16:55

    - It is known -- nm - Guigue Apr 8, 16:49 1
      - heh. 1 second -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 16:49
    - it is known -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 16:49 1
      - *braids your hair* -- nm - Guigue Apr 8, 16:50
- Makes him seem like even more of a big fucking douche -- nm - amoxy Apr 8, 16:34 1
  - Considering the video went viral, a response seems normal, but personally attacking her isn't the right move IMO -- nm - Guigue Apr 8, 16:43

Obama is fired up and ready to go. Are YOU?! -- (link) - the brain Apr 8, 15:59 1

My shirt isn't wrinkled - it's textured! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 15:44
"The Neighbors" is a terribly awkward movie. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 15:34 9
- Aaaand... it gets worse. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 15:53
- and The Neighbors was a terribly underrated TV show that was cancelled before its time. -- nm - Jovian Apr 8, 15:38 2
  - I was disgusted. Now I'm sad. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 16:38
  - Word. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 16:17
- the one with Belushi and Ackroyd? -- nm - the brain Apr 8, 15:36 3
  - Ramona! -- nm - mud Apr 8, 15:52 2
    - one of the (many) regrets of his death is not getting to see what kind of film career he would have chosen for himself - the brain Apr 8, 15:56 1
      - Jimi & Miles woulda made such sweet music together. -- nm - mud Apr 8, 16:01

guys, I got a good feeling about Kyle Schwarber this ye--wait, what? - ML Apr 8, 15:30 11
- It's as if millions of fantasy owners suddenly cried out... -- nm - iSpam Apr 8, 15:31 9
  - On the plus side, he'll be able to add some much needed bulk to his upper body during rehab. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:36 8
    - I wonder if this will affect his long term ability to convert to a catcher. Catching puts a lot of pressure on the knees. -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 15:42 7
      - My guess is that is not gonna happen. As Groiny has said multiple times, he's a DH which is a problem being he's on the Cubs. - Krusty Apr 8, 15:52 4
        
        Give it 1 or 2 more years, we'll have DH in NL. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 16:30 1
        
        This -- nm - iSpam Apr 8, 16:41
        
        They would get plenty if they want to trade him (but not this year). He is clearly better suited to the AL, but I think they love his potential so - pmb Apr 8, 15:55 1
        
        If he had a true position he'd have more value. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 16:52
      - I don't think that was ever really in the cards anyway. -- nm - iSpam Apr 8, 15:49 1
        
        I think they were pretty focused on making that happen. There were discussions heading into the season that he was going to catch more games this - pmb Apr 8, 15:54
- If they let him play in a wheelchair, he'd still hit 15 homers. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:31
