Demi Bagby threw the first pitch at a San Diego Padres game over the weekend. Much like Craig Kimbrel or Dontrelle Willis, Bagby has a one-of-a-kind windup.
Now THAT is a first pitch pic.twitter.com/T5XPIiGf0r

Is this hot or awkward? Sound off on Facebook!
Supply chain shortages are wrecking havoc across the entire country. CNN Business reports that among the biggest shortages in the country are coffee, cars, computer chips, and jet fuel. Those items simply impact all of our lives. Also, as Vietnam continues to be ravaged by COVID, Nike now finds themselves with a serious shortage problem on their hands.
Nike said it is prioritizing the health and safety of its employees and suppliers and expects its suppliers to do the same to “prioritize the health and livelihoods of their employees.”
Unfortunately, touching oneself will not be the difference between catching Covid and not, as there are many factors that influence a person’s risk of getting the disease. But according to one specialist in hormone therapy, flicking the bean could help act as a defense mechanism and could greatly boost your immune system. It’s why we’re all as strong as an ox, we can’t keep our hands off of ourselves. One small but promising study of 11 men – who were awkwardly told to masturbate while researchers took blood tests – suggests so. Published in 2004, it showed masturbation caused a temporary spike in immune cells, including killer cells that fight viruses.
Please, let us know if this works!
We all have our thing that gets us going. For some, it’s chocolate and roses, for others it’s gathering in a public area and acting like a lamb. We’re not here to judge. Well, maybe we are a little bit. This is a level of dedication that we are simply shocked by.
We know what you’re thinking. You clicked on this link because up to this point in your life, you’ve easily been able to identify the difference between cats and dogs. Good luck with this one, folks.

From Dexter Holland of The Offspring:
“We know everyone’s heard of Carpool Karaoke, but Cockpit Karaoke??? No one’s done that!! Since I’m a pilot, we thought it would be great if Noodles and I had some fun and got to sing along to one of our hits.”
Dude fronts one of the biggest bands in The History Of Alternative, could teach science at the college level, and now — I learn he’s a pilot, too?!? Guess I’ll start being motivated. But….maybe tomorrow. — [eric]
Machine Gun Kelly stopped by Grant Park for a surprise performance at Lolla 2021 Saturday. And here are just a few of the photos of the set from the intimate Bud Light Seltzer Stage, which included songs like “My Ex’s Best Friend,” “Drunk Face,” and “My Bloody Valentine.” MGK told the crowd that he’d be back in Chicago soon, so keep an eye out for dates. — [eric]

Thank you, Internet, we can now eat like kings without ordering room service.
A man was arrested in America’s heartland, Yakima, Washington, after shooting his fridge after a soda can exploded. The man thought the exploding can was someone shooting at him. By that logic, that means someone within the fridge was shooting at him. What sort of “James Bond GoldenEye” logic is that?
The man later told police in an interview that the people who live in the basement wanted to kill him and that they had shot at him, so he fired in self-defense. Investigators also say there is no one that lives in the basement below the man, and that, in fact, there is no basement at all.
Chicago workers are supposed to earn one hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours they work under the city’s Paid Sick Leave Ordinance, which went into effect July 1, 2017. Unfortunately, But Tri City foods didn’t provide that paid sick leave to 2,473 workers at 40 Burger King locations it runs from July 2017 through November 2020, according to a Mayor’s Office news release.
What is not confirmed is whether or not the employees got sick from eating Burger King…but we know they did.
After 17 months of evictions being barred in the state, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced an executive order July 23 that will allow landlords to ask a court to evict tenants who earn less than $99,000 annually — or $198,000 if a couple files jointly — and had been unable to pay rent because of the COVID-19 pandemic starting on Aug. 1.
Approximately 26,850 Chicagoans applied in May and June for $137 million in grants designed to stave off a wave of evictions and keep the lights on across Chicago, according to city officials.
These Karen’s are out of control. This Karen is clearly in the wrong, but that doesn’t stop her from going on the offensive as soon as she gets called out for trying to steal this man’s mail.
@graysworldshe legit sprayed me with apple cider vinegar @wax_on_wax_off
This video is deadly serious and not a parody. This is as real as it gets. This is a prime example of just how raw and uncensored Karen’s can get.
With Lollapalooza on the horizon, it is important that we shine a spotlight on up-and-coming artists. There is no one quite like Sarah Brand, who is blowing up the Internet with her “Red Dress” track.
So…this exists. You now have to live with this.
