Flamingos Are a Go is going to be the name of my new post-rock dingercore band. The name of the first EP will be .362/.609/.812 and it will be released exclusively in a proprietary high-splintering maple wood format.

The best part about the Dinger Machine video is the handheld shaky-cam, as if it's a scene from a found-footage movie about a huge, gaudy, technicolor monster.

Centerfield, if you will.

It's been gone over many times before but everything about that gif is amazing. The two dads talking to their kids, the girl brushing her hair back and getting the awkward high five, the two older folks who are just sitting behind the guys, the dude eating popcorn. The whole thing is amazing.

To be fair to Nishioka, he did come over from Japan and immediately break his leg. That's got to screw up his psyche.

If you can name all 30 teams then congratulations: you know more about baseball than actual sportswriters.

I dunno, do you really roll with Phil Hughes in the rotation if you have ~Andy Pettitte~ chilling in the minors?

Cain and the Giants are far apart on an extension and both sides say they won't negotiate during the season. It's looking like he'll hit FA next year.

Joba dislocated his ankle playing with his kid, apparently it was the kind of dislocation where the bone goes through the skin. Probably out for the year

Dom Brown is going to be traded for the first infielder (2B/3B) that someone throws at Rube.

Orgophlax posted:

Pretty sure it wasn't a compound fracture (sticking out of his leg). And I think Joba's is technically a dislocation, not a fracture.
