You think Ohtani isn't good?lvc wrote: Sat June 20, 2026 1:00 pm Shohei ohtani or rather the cult surrounding him and I guess by extension the whole dodgers organization.
This is a petty grievance but mookie betts is second in all star voting at short stop and he’s batting just a whisker over .200 on the season. That’s the kind of stat that gets you subbed out for someone from AAA, not put in an all star game.
I hate celebrity culture. But I think that’s rational so maybe it doesn’t belong in this thread.

My problem isn’t with ohtani the player (I might love watching him play if it didn’t involve listening to every sportscaster drool over his nuts because it’s good for the Dodgers and MLB ad revenue to hype him like Jesus swinging a bat). My problem is with Ohtani the brand and all the bullshit that comes along with celebrity worship and titanic amounts of money. He’s a very willing poster boy for not only something I hate about sports right now, but something I hate about America. Consolidating everything into the hands of the few. Nothing is not for sale. And the rich get what they can buy whether or not it’s good for anybody else.
Plus I buy his good guy image about as much as I by Tom Hanks’.

Re: Things you have an irrational hatred of
A few months ago the weather channel app on my phone started defaulting to the heat map instead of the rain radar one. What the fuck am I supposed to do with the heat map?
"Oh yeah, it's hot here today. And over there, too. And it gets cooler as you go north. Just like every day."
Absolutely useless.

When people say "if you know, you know" do people ever know?
