It was at the Wake Forest - Maryland game tonight.
A friend of mine in attendance told me about it.
I don't want to ruin it for anyone before the video goes up, so I won't say what happened, but it's definitely real and very funny.

I am going to assume you were talking to me...???
And to quote myself:
"Jeter has played 7 games in the minors in the last 14 years, and has not been hit by a pitch in any of them."

At which point did I say he's played in 14 minor league games in his career? He was a full time starter for the Yankees... wait for it... 13 seasons ago... and has only played 7 games in the minors since... as I said...

Perhaps you should do some research.

Well either you, your sister, or her boyfriend is a liar.
Jeter has played 7 games in the minors in the last 14 years, and has not been hit by a pitch in any of them.

I was recently talking to someone about the greatest parts of our lives, and without even thinking twice, I claimed that Aaron Boone's home run off Tim Wakefield was indisputably the greatest moment of my life.
I need to get a hobby.

Is there a Tumblr app for the iPhone that I missed?
How'd you post this?

On a slightly unrelated but still about BT subject:
What's up with all the unfunny BustedTees with excessive sans serif text on them this month?
They don't seem to be the normal "BustedTees/CollegeHumor" style, and almost bring the site down to a lesser/SnorgTees level. Were they made by The Librarianist writers?
Keep fighting the good fight.

Wait.
No more Back To The Future? That's blasphemy.
That thing's had lines out the ass for 15 years.

I'm boycotting every Universal product from this point forward. Which seems to be just about everything.

Yeah, just remove Photobooth from the dock and put it in a different Space.

I disagree with that to an extent.
I believe that, in general, "Republicans" realize that life is unfair, but they're willing to accept that fact as just "how it is."

Except your point makes absolutely no sense because Republicans DON'T want to take your money, they want EVERYONE to keep their own money.

Even under the Bush tax cuts, which "favor the rich," people making less than $30,000 a year pay 15% of their income in taxes, a maximum of $4,500, while people making more than $150,000 pay upwards of 33% in income taxes, a minimum of $50,000.

I kind of hate getting involved in discussions about this, because I don't like to consider myself a "Republican" due to the excessive spending of the Republican-led government from 2000-2006.

This is a bit of a sweeping generalization in the vein of, "The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats are right and Republicans are wrong."

Here, I'll try. The difference between Republicans and Democrats in fiscal policy is as simple as this: Republicans want you to keep the money you worked hard to earn, Democrats want to take your money from you and give it to people who didn't work hard enough.

"Each of their 150 video sketches gets 20,000-30,000 views each."

Us Weekly, where writing and editing ability really just don't matter.

Wait a second... Rachel Bilson eats pizza!? Hopefully it's all hand-tossed by exploited chimps.

Apparently Drowningorwaving is about 8 hours smarter than me.

It's called "Where Have You Been?" by a band called The Manchester Orchestra.
This is an acoustic version of the song that can be found here: http://www.daytrotter.com/a...

Because there's a contract you must agree to before making any submission to CH saying that you hold the rights to the work, and CollegeHumor has the right to do with it whatever they please.

This game is 3/4 over...
And I'm still not sure who I'm rooting for.
I guess I'm pulling for pentuple overtime or a full-court game winner.

If you are currently in college, you did not use an Apple II in middle school. You probably used a Mac Performa like this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org.... The Apple II came out in the 70s.
