GPOYW - Cliff Lee crushing my dreams at the worst place ever (ESPN Zone)
I realized I wasn’t clear enough since I was editing on my iPhone. He didn’t just pretend like he was gonna toss a ball then throw it back in. From a few feet away he fake threw HARD like he was going to hit us with it, to the point where about 10 people, including children, flinched out of the way because they thought a Philly was about to bean them in the face with a baseball. Then 10 min later, he got one then threw it at the wall REALLY hard about a foot away from a Dodger security guard, where he jumped out of the way scared. Bounced it off the wall and scuffed it on the track, and threw it back in. The guy is a total douche.So I got here early to watch batting practice and Victorino is in center shagging balls. Dude gets one like 3 feet from the wall and as everyone is yelling his name to ask for the ball he cocks back and pretends to throw it at everyone in the front then laughs and throws it in to the ball boy. Such a dick.I have personally witnessed at least 10-12 different ballplayers do this exact. same. thing. over the last 5 or 6 years…. including, GASP, a Dodger. It doesn’t make him an asshole, it makes him unoriginal.
I have a top deck ticket. 45 bucks. Since you have to sit next to me I’ll give it to you for 35. But you have to buy me a 10 dollar beer.
If you’re a Phillies fan it’s 75 and you have to buy me 4 beers.
I’m blogging sad kitty.
Holy. Crap.(via veronicathenoseylady)
Reblog for the Hitchhikers Guide reference, and for anyone who belives there is a guy with a white beard on a cloud who made all this.Hubble Goes Deep, Finds Farthest Galaxies Yet | Wired Science | Wired.com
If you read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you might remember the bit in which Zaphod lands on Frogstar World B and steps into the Total Perspective Vortex, which is supposed to blow his mind, except he is in an alternate dimension in which he is the most important thing in the universe, so he doesn’t know what the big deal is.
Here is your perspective:
The galaxies in this photograph are 12 to 13 billion light-years away. That means that this isn’t how they look now. This is how they look 12 to 13 billion years ago. We won’t see what they look like “now” until 12 to 13 billion years from now, at which point many of them will not even exist, which we won’t know for another 12 to 13 billion years. And if you haven’t heard, this planet is scheduled to be a smoldering ember in 4 billion years.
12 billion light-years is somewhere in the range of tens of quintillions of miles. You can’t count that high even if you have your whole life to do it.
Brain hurt yet?
This baby is a racist prick.I love these videos.
Since I don’t expect you to make it that far into the video, my favorite quote might be “If I were President, I’d make e’rythang legal.” America ladies and gentlemen.
