(I don't really know if that clip deserves a heads up to the especially squeamish or not, so consider this parenthetical to be that.)

um, what's up with the net not working?

Your guess is as good as mine, but every ambulance chaser in Pittsburgh just shot their wad.

never mind, read on ESPN that her head just happened to be like two inches from the net.

Well that's probably good, had to lessen the impact at least a little bit.

Thats ****ing scary

Also, vines are incredible because it lets you go through over and over and watch the reactions of each individual person watching.

I like the old man in the upper left 100% no-selling the whole thing.

He was my favorite too, or immediate reaction man In row 3

black dude just above the impact GOAT

Tonight an Astros player took four balls, then just continued the AB and struck out anyway.

While it's a bad mistake on the ump's part, I can at least understand the ump losing track somehow. I have no idea how the entire Astros team was oblivious to the fact that they should have been issued a walk and just weren't.

Did he check a swing at some point in those 4 balls? Otherwise, that seems near impossible that not one person on the bench caught it.

Not really sure about the check-swing thing, but that's not being brought up so I'm thinking it's not the explanation.

Maybe the batter called for time at one point, thought it was granted, but a pitch was thrown and counted as a ball? Those are really the only two things I can see that would make it possible.

Just went back and watched it. There was zero ambiguity about anything. Couple of times the batter started bringing the bat off his shoulders in mid-pitch in taking balls, but nothing that would even come close to resembling a swing. No calling for time. Ball four just sort of happened and there was no pause anywhere. The Mariners' broadcast team was just lost talking about something else and weren't really paying attention.

Ahaha. That's insane that the broadcast team totally missed it as well.

Haha I just watched it. The catcher made a motion like he knew it but just hid it. The scorekeeper was dead on so you know there were some wtf moments backstage

Went to see the Harlem Globetrotters today, lots of fun. I was rooting for the Generals as I want to be there when the streak ends. It didn't end.

The Generals are the greatest jobbers of all time.

Globetrotters are a fun show. Can't say I realized they were still a thing.

I saw them years ago and loved it. I didn't know they were still a thing either but glad to hear it.

Two of their guys were on Amazing Race like 3 times within the last 5 years. Flight Time and Big Easy, both very cool guys.

According to Wikipedia the honorary members of the Harlem Globetrotters include Henry Kissenger and Pope John Paul II, now that's an alley-oop I want to see.

It's annoying that they keep reining in the NFL Draft and making it shorter and shorter to appease Americans with short attention spans. The Draft of 8-10 years ago, where the first round alone would take 6-8 hours, was elite. No need to speed it up. Guys sitting around desks obsessively talking about football minutiae is way more compelling than even the championship series of other major sports.

The same consumers that caused this to happen are the same ones who caused the great movie Leon to be released as The Professional in the U.S. The U.S. version is 20 minutes shorter and cuts out most of the best scenes to make sure that it can remain a generic and meaningless action movie that the great unwashed can bathe in.

Some people never stop sitting around desks obsessively talking about football minutiae. They don't need the draft going on for that. Maybe it was better discussion? I didn't follow football at that time really.

More highlights of the prospects, more time to discuss how they fit with the team that just drafted them, etc. That **** was like Christmas, it was the oasis in the middle of the offseason where you could just spend the whole Saturday watching the draft.

The Seahawks keep trading themselves out of the first round, so that lessens my enjoyment too, but I'll still be glued to the first round with zero expectation that my team trades up into it. It amazes me just how entertaining the draft is.
