Found the great BBC Drama trailer from a few months ago, if you're looking for some new shows to watch -- (link) - LMS Sep 1, 07:08 [youtube] 2

Sports Illustrated calls this the greatest play in whiffle ball history. Me, I have it penciled in as #27, *maybe* -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 1, 07:03 8
- what is the significance of the bucket? -- nm - rollo Sep 1, 08:02 2
  - The bucket signifies the hope and dreams of white males in America, sometimes caught, sometimes "whiffing" past just beyond reach. -- nm - mara Sep 1, 08:25
  - I think that it is to speed up the game and contains extra wiffle balls. I don't think they bother to collect individual 'hits' - JD Sep 1, 08:13
- Nice! Side note: that looks like a slow pitch for wiffle ball. -- nm - Krusty Sep 1, 07:06 4
  - Maybe that was his change-up. -- nm - mara Sep 1, 07:15 3
    - Maybe because he did have him out in front of the pitch but I'm used to seeing very hard pitching with ridiculous curves. - Krusty Sep 1, 07:32 2
      - This just looks like a few dudes messing around in their backyard. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 07:37 1
        
        That's a nice field for guys messing around in their backyard. - Krusty Sep 1, 07:49

Jorah Mormont, Beric Dondarrion, Tormund Gianstbane and Sandor Clegane have formed a Supergroup, but it needs Bronn to be truly super. -- (link) - LMS Sep 1, 06:57 17
