    Whoop de ****ing do. So he went 2nd. Is Rivera the 2nd worst closer in the league?

    Notice I used the plural there. Papelbon is a far better closer than some of the other options you so politely left on the list.

    On Survivor: All-Stars, Richard Hatch got eliminated pretty damn early even though he was one of the best players in the game.

    Think of it as a compliment.
