Six Games In, Everyone Already Hates Gabe Kapler
On Thursday, the Phillies won their home opener for the first time since 2011. They did so easily, in a 5-0 win over the Marlins where Miami had just four baserunners.

Phillies manager Gabe Kapler had a hell of a first week on the job.

Hungarian (sort-of) skier Elizabeth Swaney is now infamous around the world, after her big turn at the Olympics involved her just sort of sliding down the ski halfpipe and getting a cumulative three feet or so of air.

Defending Jeopardy! champion Manny Abell wasn’t doing so hot heading into Final Jeopardy last night.
