GDT(3/3): Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays - Norris vs. Hutchison - 7:07 PM ET

[jaysfan2014]

People, we're at .500! It's early in the season, and we're headed into a light part of the schedule. I mean, Baltimore has been hot since that Yankees series a few weeks ago.

Quick, post a gif of Mark Texeria's phantom groin injury in the home opener from this year. Guy barely moves and has to take 15 days off.

 

Baseball players are barely above soccer players in terms of softness.

I'm guessing you're one of these people:

 

"OK, so now that the lottery order is set, let's take a look at what outcomes are most assuredly rigged.

 

Milwaukee Bucks: "New ownership? How's about a welcoming present for you fine folks… try harder, Silver. You're worse than the last guy.."

Philadelphia 76ers: "Wow, saw this one coming from a mile away. 'Oh hey Philly, we're really sorry about Bynum…have the first pick..on us' Big market coming off a horrendous season; this rig job stands out like ants on a ski slope"

Orlando Magic: "We've seen this narrative before. Shaq, Dwight, and now... welcome to Orlando, Mr. Embiid. The Lakers will desperately need your services a few years down the road…I mean seriously? This is way too predictable"

Utah Jazz: "Reverse psychology done by our new commissioner Silver. Good try, but it won't work on us! You chose the least conspicuous team to give the first pick to, just so you could try and throw us off your tail. Nice try, rookie"

Celtics/Lakers: "This is by far the most atrocious rigging I've ever seen. Yeah, let's just give the number one pick in one of the most loaded drafts in recent memory to…the most storied f***ing franchises in the game. I'm done with the NBA…this is some next level ********"

Sacramento Kings: "Hey Seattle, f*** you, you're never getting a team. This will keep you fellas happy in Sacramento; any rumors or even thoughts of moving the team are officially dead. f*** you Silver, this is just a giant middle finger to the entire state of Washington"

Detroit Pistons: "So I guess the NBA feels bad that the Pistons haven't had the number one pick since 1970? This is just an apology to Detroit for not having rigged the lottery in their favor since the Walter Kennedy days. With a new era comes new retributions…you're really gonna be this transparent Silver?"

Cleveland Cavaliers: "OOOOOOOOOOKAY…How many number one picks do they really need?? We know LeBron left, but just give it a rest for Christ's sake!"

New Orleans Pelicans: "We all know David Stern can't get enough of his team… A gift certificate to Red Lobster would have sufficed for a parting gift, Silvey…."

Denver Nuggets: "Hey, remember when Denver was a legit contender when Gallinari wasn't injured? Well I do. Silver just gifted these stoners Andrew Wiggins to complete their team..f***ing perfect. Job well done, guy"

Minnesota Timberwolves: "Goodbye Kevin Love, hello Joel Embiid. This is just way too obvious for the team that had a 0.6% chance of the #1 overall…"

Phoenix Suns: "Wow, did they seriously just give a young, fringe playoff team a new superstar to put them over the top? Are you f***ing kidding me?? 0.5% chance my ASS"

TL;DR: This s*** is f***ing rigged. f*** the NBA, I can't stand this ******** organization run by a bunch of slimy criminals"

 

No way. Vucevic is a great #5. Jabari or Wiggins.............................. or Randle?

Sad but true. They need to penalize diving more, straight reds and suspension without pay for diving.

[Atothe]

I'm talking about soccer lol

 

even worse, a lot of running, racism and no pay off

[jaysfan2014]

And how much coverage of the Heat do we see on ESPN? That's all they seem to talk about. It's like they want LeBron to get a 3rd ring.

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

It is ridiculous. It takes a lot more athletic ability to be a professional wrestler.

 

It takes more athletic ability to be a great trapeze balancer. Why not watch the circus all day?

Sport is not defined by how grueling the sport is, we are all fans of baseball after all.

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

good luck waking up early on a sat morning to watch a 1-0 game

 

lol typical American viewpoint!

[fatcowxlive]

Not in every country? You can't use the fact that soccer is worldwide as a negative lol

 

Also lol @ lots of running, are we changing the definition of sports and athletes now?

why not he's the greatest player of our generation

World class football is an absolute treat to watch.

 

Watching a team like Bayern control the ball is simply magical. I get it why you might think regular league games could be a little dry.... but Champions League, Euro's, WC, etc. are all amazing competitions.

for one goal? not worth watching. 4 or 5 goals sure but 1 or 2, boooooooooooooooo!

Well, as a fan of both WWE and NBA, I can say that the former is less predictable, despite being scripted. Very sad. With that being said, baseball is miles ahead of both for me.

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

grizzlies about to take a 2-1 series lead on okc. Yes....fixed. Clown.

 

lololol you really spoke too soon! <3

[The_DH]

soccer fans are the worst, obnoxious and fans of mediocre products

 

Soccer is full of diving kiddie chasing Euros. If I had to watch another player crying on the ground I'd go nuts.

[Holden Caulfield]

Soccer is a communist sport.

The Premier League and the La Liga are also exceptions to the rule. The last few weeks, you have 3 teams competing for #1 and the bottom 5 teams taking wins off the top 4 teams. It's like the Astros sweeping/taking 2 of 3 from Detroit/Oakland/Texas to end off their season. In soccer they don't reward you for being last unlike in Baseball, they have something to fight for (preventing relegation)

That's like a little kid saying "I don't wanna watch that movie, it only has one explosion!". There are exciting and watchable things in sport other than the amount of goals. Plus each goal is 100000X more exciting in footy.

lol yeah no I'm a fan of an overall sport, (Defense, playmaking and goal scoring) more than the overall result

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

Go Thunder!

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

KD's going to work some magic with 2 seconds left. We could be watching the greatest finish to a playoff game in the last 5 years. We all know what KD is capable of here.

[GD]

Durant dagger incoming.

Should've taken the extra dribble. Didn't like the play though.
