Balls: WHAT?
Mysterious Hooded Figure holding a beer: Dude, WTF?
Balls: WYTAW?
Mysterious Hooded Figure holding a blunt: What day is it today, asshole?
Balls: Uh, Friday?
MHFH a beer: Seriously?
Balls: Wednesday?
MHFH a blunt: FFS, it’s Monday!! As in MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!?!?
Balls: You guys know I don’t like the NFL, right?
MHFH a beer: Yes, we do.
MHFH a blunt: And frankly, we’re getting a little tired of your bitching.
Balls: Tough, but fair.
MHFH a beer: So you know what this Open Thread needs to be about, RIGHT?!?
Balls (sighing): Fiiiiine. Can I go now?
MHFH a beer: Yes.
Balls (on his way out the door): ORIOLESUCK!

TO THE GAME!
Tonight we have the Los Ángeles Doyers Green Bay Packers hosting the Milwaukee Brewers San Francisco 49ers on Game 3 of the NLCS MNF!
What can I say, I know it’s Wisconsin v California!
If the Packers can keep Aaron Rodgers upright like Danica, they are headed towards great things this year. Unfortunately, his health is as big of a mystery as his relationship with his family.
Which is too bad because A-Rod should be considered as one of the GOATs and he hasn’t benefited from cheating, favorable officiating, or Russian-style doping/”supplements” programs.
Instead, he’s had to deal with Captain Blue Bunny
as coach, an offensive line that compares negatively to a traffic cone and a NY subway turnstile, and the loss of a talented group of receivers that wanted to get PAID.
Oh, and do the Packers have a running back yet?
Jesús!
On the other side, we have the 49ers, which, well, take a look at this roster:
My condolences to Petronel and Mr. Nel. That roster would have me turning on the VCR and replaying the Super Bowl videos from the 80s.
My thought is that the Packers take care of business at home in a relatively boring game.
/ looks around
// sees that the DFOers are busy drinking
Doyers-Astros World Series. And the Astros win again…
/checks FF scores
Litre still holds a 45 pt lead on me. I don’t think Graham and Morris are gonne pull me outta this loss.
Jerks.
If Graham hits a few 3’s you are right back in it.
Hehehehe
Soooo….the Niners don’t suck anymore, or whut?
GB still has a theoretical D
A certain former GB QB would love to show you the difference between a D and a theoretical D.
Depends on which side of the glory hole you prefer
Like the Orioles you are laying in wait to beat me.
LOL. That was funny.
AYUP
I think I’m rooting for Astros-Brewers? The AL is obvious, but… yeah, Dave Roberts can fuck off more than Ryan Braun. And the Brewers have Uecker!
Dirt 500s/Packers WOULD make more Fox execs suicidal…
/also add to Small Bear fan angst
Loving this not being Mo-Mo. But why didn’t somebody turn the fucker over, goddamnit??
Women Iike baseball for the asses in tight white pants.
Who’s the guy commentating like he’s 1980’s Eddie Murphy doing his convict voice?
What’s the average BMI of a Packer fan?
100%
Not sure about BMI but 30%Cheese, 30% gristle, 30% bad beer and 10% racism, higher if from Milwaukee
About the same as a Bears, Lions, Cowboys, Eagles, Panthers, Browns, Steelers, etc., fans. Wisconsin is about in the middle for obesity, if you rank the states.

Rodgers is back to running again. The Bears had their chance to kill Rodgers in week 1 and passed. No one would have blamed them
That Cuban hit that ball
I took the dog’s squeaky tennis ball away because she was driving me nuts and now she’s laying at my feet and literally harumphing at me. I haven’t seen that one before.
Witten: “They can’t be kicking themselves in the foot.” Hmmm.
What is the sound of one foot kicking?
And the ball rolled to 3rd base. What a great game to watch
Don’t forget bunting!
ooh, a submarine movie!
Hunt for Red October was bad ass
Crimson Tide was also solid as was Das Boooooot!
I’m a big fan of our new punter, despite the mullet
So many slashing calls in Montreal, what is this, my options portfolio from last week?
I don’t think baseball has a hip hop night.
Baseball doesn’t like the look of those teenagers…
Baseball is currently shaking its fist at clouds.
If a fan WOOOOOs in the middle of a thread about another game, does she make any sound?
(WOOOOO)
I kinda needed that DOINK to stay DOINKed ,, smh
San Francisco is teabagging Greenbay
i like The color of Wittens jacket.
A.A. Ron? Still a total badass.
Now PLEASE score lots of defensing points, whilst shutting out Gould and Mo-Mo.
Damnit Hippo, you jinxed it
Back to Yeah Right and walking on the Moon.
That was America’s peak technology wise and cultural . Boomers failed on all levels to improve what they we’re handed
So you’re just going to ignore this invention?
I grew up in that era and watched the moon landing live on TV.
I’m still a space cadet and have worked in the Aerospace industry for 20 years.
Proudly I may add.
“So…you’re one of the Zionists who helped stage the so-called moon landing!” – Pete C., Undisclosed Location
I mean, helped after the fact
But who was the cameraman when he took the first step?
My facebook memories show that there have been two separate occasions in the past on this very day wherein I’ve mocked my Packer friends for liking a one player team. Show me anything as consistent as the Green Bay A.A.Ron’s over the last 10 years.
The dodgers have a player who that looks lke Tormund from GoT.
They sure do! His name is Gritty.
Ooh, that reminds me of that scene where Tormund sings

Hai! I am here to watch the basketball superstar.
/Where is the court?
Welcome. You can cheer for anyone but the lakers or warriors.
I’m a fan of the Washington Generals, myself.
Hey! So am I!
/ Bulls fan
I grew up when the Bulls were in their heydey and I hated their fans. In my formative years I loved Ewing, Starks, Oak, etc. I know, I know, but fuck Scottie Pippen.
For the record my fandom waaaaay predates Jordan and Pippen.
Well you are about 10 years older than me so that makes sense.
Convinced the older half of this group is comprised entirely of immortals trying to lure each other into internet meet-ups so they can decapitate the other and take their power
30 second movie review: saw First Man and its technically brilliant. Gorgeous. I found the characters a bit cold and hard to relate to.
Solid big screen film.
8/10
How many flattops, Nazi scientists nd alcoholism wete in the movie? I like realism.
Tons of flattops, drinking and copious cigarette smoking.
Completely concur with your World Series prediction Balls.
The biggest fan reaction I’ve seen was the fans catching a foul ball.
NBA, NFL, CFB and Soccer have their flaws but they keep you engaged.
Is anyone else having this error? Under where Balls wrote “take a look at this [49ers] roster” all I see is a bunch of random junk instead of a photo of the roster. It seems to occur in both Firefox and Chrome, and even persists when I turn off my ad blocker.
No, no, that’s the roster.
If by Random Junk you mean their roster, then yes.
Given the current state of our roster there may not be much effective difference.
But it’s working for me – perhaps your browser is shielding you from the awful.
It was a joke. I’m slightly ashamed to have made it, because I bear your team no ill-will, but once I thought of it I couldn’t leave it unposted.
It was a very fine joke.
Well, our roster is a joke, so no objection here at all. ‘Sall good.
Oh my. The beer I’m drinking is more sour than the successful Philly Philly playcall in the last Super Bowl.
On another note: good evening, folks.
Why are you drinking straight sugar?
Shocker. Joe Buck talks even more for a baseball game . He needs to explain what’s going on.
Nevertheless I watch.
At start of game:
Me: We gon die.
Mr. Nel: Remember, these guys lost to the [Redacteds].
Tirico: It’s 34 [degrees] out, feels like 28.
Me: We gon die.
Mr. Nel: Yeah, West Coast team gon die.
But at least we’re not getting shut out…

What’s considered “short rest” for a baseball player? Because I see football players try to maim each other on 5 days rest, nba players run a half marathon every other night ( not Carmelo) or soccer players a full marathon every 5 days.
That phrase should only apply to a pitcher. Everyone else should be able to play every day of the year.
3 days rest is short rest for a starting pitcher and 2 days for a reliever who put in some innings.
I don’t think the dodgers fans or me are drunk enough to enjoy this baseball game

The Brewers pitcher has an ass on him.
I should watch wrestling.

So am at the bar and they have the audio of the baseballl game on. You can hear the people in the stands yawning.
Shocking
Folks
Aww.
Japanese bunnies
The Blue Bunny. Name of a Men’s Bathouse or cute bunny bred?
Yes
HI SUZY!
… need some snuggles to keep warm?

What’s a Nick Mullens?
I dunno, but he’s got the look of a Niners Quarterback with that “Everyone’s covered and the Nose Tackle is coming straight for me” face.
The guy from Cum Town? AKA, the president of the DSA?

They had to Exum my jaw from the ground because it dropped so hard after seeing the name Jaquiski Tartt. Do you think he’s sweet or savory?
The Santa Ana winds kicked up today, and I feel more dried out than Jerry Jones after a 5 hour flight with nothing to do but Susan Skaggs. YEEEEEE HAWWWWW, I’M FUCKIN’ SANDPAPEREY!
This stupid time of year. Just knew we weren’t into autumn/ winter yet.

If Alfred Morris rushes for like 200 yds and five TDs, and Jimmy Graham hauls in like six TD receptions, I can still win this week.
/isn’t gonna win this week
