Former Major League Baseball star Aubrey Huff took a swing at the gaming community last weekend, implying in a tweet that 'grown ass men' who play video games don't get laid. Who knows, maybe his retired buddies think archaic stereotypes are funny, but Twitter did not let this one slide. What ensued was a barrage of comebacks, quips, and spicy roasts in one endless thread. We've collected some of the funniest replies to Aubrey's foul for your amusement.

Looks like you struck-out this time, Aubrey.

It was a somber weekend for much of the United States after the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death broke on Friday. The 87 year old judge was a champion for women's rights, and had become somewhat of a cult figure in recent years. Many devotees shared somber, wordy, and often beautiful tributes to their hero, highlighting her accomplishments and struggles as a woman in politics. But it's a warm and silly Twitter thread from one of Ginsburg's former clerks, Scott Hershovitz, that really made us feel something. 

The thread, which involves some "friendly" fantasy baseball competition, shows a side of RBG that's a little more personal than most. A quiet but feisty mischief that we assume only those closest to her were privy to witness. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 

Whoever captured this moment on camera really hit the jackpot as it pretty much sums up every woman's experience dealing with a douchey bro who thinks he's way smarter than she is. So ladies, scroll down if you want to feel understood!

File under headlines we never thought we'd write! Twitter user Shanna Shi wowed baseball and Pokémon fans alike when she started this viral twitter thread comparing baseball players hair to Pokémon. The thread became so popular that Shanna has already tweeted 60+ comparisons - and attracted the attention of the athletes themselves. MLB players Rhys Hoskins and Trevor Williams both begged for their Shanna-approved doppelgangers, and she gladly complied. Given that there are over 800 Pokémon in that adorable universe, we sure hope there are more tweets on their way. We've posted the bangers but you can see more here.

Remember baseball sex metaphors? How in High School Jessica H. was so cool because she went to THIRD base with CHAD? Well, the metaphors are getting a very funny revamp over on Twitter. It would seem people think the current "base system" is antiquated and a poor reflection of our stages of intimacy. It's 2018 and people have been going straight to what we used to say was a "home run." These tweets answer the question of what comes after our new "first base." They're hilariously telling. 

Of course, after the most recent win they should probably update that sentence.
