Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry

Greatest rivalry in the history of professional sports. Most years the rivalry ends as somewhat of a draw. This year, the Red Sox have the better team (wait, they usually have the better team every year) and have already taken six out of seven games from the Yankees (see shit). Does not bode well for the Bronx Bombers.

You see the Yankees just bought up every good player they could?

Doesn't matter, since the Sox have the best pitching in baseball.

GTVA Colossus

The largest vessel ever created. This dreadnought was first designed during the infancy of the GTVA, by the Emperor Khonsu II. Its construction took over twenty years, ending with the unveiling of the twelve kilometer starship during a minor skirmish. The Colossus and its 10,000 member crew all perished while valiantly distracting the first Sathanas juggernaut.

Jump, Colossus.

We can't, we've been disabled.
