Gawker Media

To be fair it's part of a larger thing where they're going into who did it and for how long

But it's still gross

Also the number of people like

HEY HERE'S THIS ONE

Nooo thanks

Some of those people might not even have been legal when they had their pictures taken like that one gymnast

Noooooooo thankssssssssss if they wanna get nude I'll see 'em in Playboy or something

DJ Eebs

it's absolutely fucked that this happened at all and it's even more fucked that people are blaming these women for what happened instead of the people that hacked in and stole these private photographs

it's also fucked that there are people telling these celebrities shit like "hey it's not fair that you won't let me see you naked because I'm ugly this is why this happens" like anyone is obligated to show you their goddamned genitals for any goddamned reason

cooljammer00

Also yes, Gawker is not monolithic but they're all over the place with this nude leak thing. One site is saying how it's disgusting that this happened and that everyone is a criminal just for looking, and the other site will post the photos uncensored. Make up your mind.

simo

if espn ran a similar report on the verlander pictures deadspin would run a 20 part series on why espn represents everything wrong with the world

I mean there used to be a collection of genitalia here in THIS VERY FORUM #askingquestions

DJ Eebs

yeah, but we shut down the chat thread

Zen Vulgarity

That's right the Giant Bomb thread is no more

rip in piece

cooljammer00

Man, I remember the days where people sent each other porn to try and get them to masturbate so they could win a contest.

THE WILD WEST!

fuck you hoyer

The New York Yankees announced Tuesday that the team will wear a patch of Derek Jeter's final-season logo on all player hats and uniforms from Sept. 7, the day that the shortstop will be honored at Yankee Stadium, through the end of the season.

This is getting really fucking dumb.

Sweeney Tom

It's been dumb for a while.

cooljammer00

I live in New York.

You don't know how dumb it is. Without context, you'd think Jeets was dying instead of retiring to fuck models in peace.

FortyTwo

I remember when Ripken left, he got a patch (I am pretty sure they wore it all season) and a sort of farewell tour. But that was a day before social media and I don't think many outside Baltimore were constantly inundated with it.

DJ Eebs

rizzo is out indefinitely with a lower back strain. they're not saying he's shut down for the year, but they're going to take their time with him because there's no real rush to have him back this season.

kris bryant has been told to start preparing for a longer season next year, which confirms that he won't be up this year and also that he is a virtual lock to join the major league team next year

Zen Vulgarity

Fuck yes

Raijin Quickfoot

If the season ended right now Josh Harrison would be your National League batting champ followed by Ben Revere.

AND YOU ALL LAUGHED WHEN I DRAFTED REVERE! and you probably chuckled when I picked up Harrison from free agency.

Raijin Quickfoot

Actually, reverse that. Ben Revere is leading after the game today.

Schide

I would have picked up Harrison before you did if he wasn't a Pirate. But since I really don't like taking Pirates, I passed. Oh well.

Angry

Ben Revere is batting .314 with an OBP of .331?

With 20 RBI?

and he had 5 just the other day!

He has stolen 42 bases though.

Raijin Quickfoot

I'm mostly joking but I am really surprised by how well Ben Revere has actually played this year.

Maximum

Ben Revere is why you're in 9th place.

Raijin Quickfoot

He's been on my bench most of the year!

Maximum

He's negatively affecting your team chemistry.

Sweeney Tom

Been a while since I checked the standings, thought I'd fix that no-

what the fuck happened to the Brewers

Yeah, if the Cubs makes some smart moves this offseason, the Central is really up for grabs. It could be one of the more competitive divisions in the game.

Zen Vulgarity

I think I'm fucked

Sweeney Tom

Thanks for the fucking 54 ERA, Mike Leake

Kevin Towers out in Arizona.

My coworker who's a DBack fan just did a jig in his office.

I like Wash. Hopefully he gets another gig for a team I don't hate.

It depends what his "personal" matter is. His personal matter might be getting tired of watching a team and organization implode for the third straight year. His personal matter might be an illness he is not ready to disclose.

It might be a situation where he felt he was about to be fired and he is quitting.

I like Wash too, its a shame what has happened in Texas.

Raijin Quickfoot

Ben Revere hit his second home run of the year.

Angry

Jansen is brutal this year.

Easy win pissed away by Loup and Janssen.
