Bryce Harper was robbed.

We just don’t have the endurance to wait. We want same day delivery. We want instant downloads. We want stream, we want push notifications, we want instant analysis. We are a refresh button society, and we pound that thing over and over to get the latest, the very latest, the absolute latest … and then we hit the refresh button again.

In other words, hey, look, every team in baseball has played at least one game now.

It’s time for our early season baseball ...

We have a fantasy football league at work, and one week my boss was the high scorer. He sent an e-mail saying how honored he was to be awarded the "Viagra Performance of the Week" as he saw it on the league page. For all of the rest of us though, it was the "Heineken Performance of the Week".

bbc, I get those in the offseason, when I spend time on NPBTracker.com and YakyuBaka.com to see who is signed to play in Japan and what Japanese players might be coming to MLB.

Swedish Chef, Do you read Al Jazeera? It leads to similar results.

I get those too, but since I spend a lot of time looking at Japanese baseball, music, and anime sites, it's not that surprizing.

I mostly get Universal Studios ads, probably because I live in LA. I have a tire ad right now. I don't remember seeing anything close to NSFW here.

I get the SEXY ASIAN LADIES all the time and I have no idea what in my browsing record might provoke it. It's making me nervous about what my wife's browsing when she's on the computer. But "Don't ask the question if you might not want to know the answer" is an important life rule of mine.

Seriously, I presume it's because my browsing record, due to being heavy on sports, causes the spam producers to peg me as a 15-to-55-year-old male.

EDIT: who am I kidding with the age ranges, "male" is sufficient cause for the spambot to assign a person SEXY ASIAN LADIES ads.

I browse a lot of stuff that should get me the sexy asian ladies, and yet I'm not getting them. I looked at the price of charter last week and since then I seem to only get AT&T and Charter ads. No sexy ads at all.

might could be why i get all these ads and spam about how i could grow 3 inches which would be great because i'm so short but unfortunately the bone they talk bout growing won't help me get no taller

Apparently my Kaspersky Anti-Virus also has been effective in getting rid of the ads, as i haven't seen any of them recently. For awhile I was getting a lot of anti-Obama type ads, which seems silly if they know my preferences based on where I go and what I read.

Jeez, even I got the joke and I'm a complete dimbulb.

Over 30 years ago she was a baby. Babies are interested in boobs because of the milk.
