   You are being really unfair to Crosby. He does not
   “SUCK”. Have you ever played the game? How many major league triples do YOU have? I’m sure you could come up with
   some clever statistic that’s supposed to prove he sucks by dividing the coefficient of the vector of the trajectory
   of his swing on sliders thrown in excess of 84mph by pitchers with high VORPs and WARPs, but you know what I have
   to say to that? You’re a fucking dork, that’s what. D-O-R-K, dork. This guy has moxie. Plays every position on the
   field. Shaves twice per week. Grimaces constantly. Dives. A lot. In the face of that, you’re going to give me fancy
   numbers and “evidence”? Well fuck you, dork.

   nevermoor also didn’t know the craaazy truth about Pakistan being an acronym. And the “a” and “k”
   refer to areas that aren’t even part of the country.

   I pretty much have no idea what anyone in this thread is
   talking about.

   Except for the “Crosby sucks” part. That I get.

    Embarrassing “why the
    hell am I awake at 7am?” story, so you can all have a laugh at my expense:

    Last night, I went out to meet up with some friends, on my way there I got a smoothie from Jamba Juice. Because my
    first name is hard to pronounce (the H), I always give them my last name. So, I order my smoothie…

    Girl: Your name?
    Me: Sinha, S-I-N-H-A.
    (my mind is wandering)
    Girl: …sun…lion… That is an awesome name!!

    I’m thinking: Wait, how does this random white undergrad girl at Jamba Juice know that my first name means sun, and
    my last name means lion? Hell, I only know that because it’s MY name. Does she know Sanskrit? Where do they even
    teach Sanskrit? This is amazing!

    Me: Excuse me?
    Girl: Your name. Simba, that’s the son in the Lion King.
    Me: …

    I’m curious to know what angle Rev will take with this.

    Will MLB be nazis, socialists, KKK members, or just better off dead?
