    What do you guys do for Easter? I LOATHE Easter with my in laws. Don't get me wrong. They're fine people. I love them but.....man, holidays are marathons. Used to just be a dinner at my parents house. Like a couple hours over there, maybe three and boom--you're out.

    Now, we go to her parents for breakfast, which lasts about two and a half hours. Then a couple hours later we go to her aunt's for dinner from 2 to 6. Four fucking hours. Some years it's longer. It's fucking Easter. None of us are overly religious either. And there are no tv's anywhere so you can't zone out in front of a Sixers game or watch some golf or something. You gotta converse with the same people for seven hours.

    Easter blows. And now there's snow on the ground. Come on Spring!

    I do the in-laws but it's pretty laid back.  Spent Saturday night there this weekend with the baby and all.  Would have been too much back and forth.  Made the gravy and all Saturday night, put back a ton of booze and passed out to make breakfast and eat my body weight in gravy, ham, salads, etc.  Sat outside a good bit yesterday, watched sports. Was there a little too late but that was bound to happen.  Was a good day but yeah, that sounds rough.

    Easter is the worst of the "legit" holidays, which isn't really a legit holiday. It's dumb.

    I have to deal with my Jesus Freak in-laws and eat bad food. I do it to appease my wife.

    Easter is dumb. The only Easter in the past 20 years that I thought was cool was when Phil Mickelson won his first Masters.

    If Easter was next Sunday and there was no television to watch the Masters...your Juggler would stage a walk out.

    I heard on the radio that the game was also streamed on Fakebook. Mets fans were not happy, and i don't blame them. Apparently ther's going to be some MLB games streamed via Fakebook this year.

    Obviously I couldn't watch it last night but apparently we had a shift on and couldn't get a double play because no on was at 2nd on a ground ball. That's the inning the Mess wound up scoring 2. so 2 out of 4 games we had runners advance then eventually score because of bases not being covered on a shift.

    I believe the game today is on Facebook. That will be 4 days without a major league baseball team being on tv.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I can't remember a time when there were 2 straight games not on broadcast tv. streaming on nbc sports phily i don't mind too much but today's game on Facebook only is kinda of crazy. oh well probably too early for baseball anyway.

    Yeah this is pretty stupid but easy to watch at work.


    How was Rhys not out of the base path there? I'll take it though...

    Was thinking the same thing, BUT it's kinda subjective and would be dumb to go to replay.

    Also, there were two outs right? Why the hell are they worrying about the runner going home? Just tag Hoskins.

    what is the earliest in a season a first year manager ever got fired?  just asking for possible future reference.

    Another defensive positioning error leads to the go ahead runs. They could at least hit. Averaging over 10 strikeouts a game.
