The fight for the American League pennant continues Monday with the Toronto Blue Jays and the team's fans hoping to bounce back after a 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners Sunday night. On social media, some fans decried the Blue Jays' cold bats and managerial decisions in that first game, while others shared optimism that the team could pick itself back up in Game 2.
My excitement for the Wicked sequel posters has been an emotional rollercoaster of excitement, slowly descending into disappointment. Like the stages of grief, I was initially in denial about the quality of the designs, hoping for redemption. Now, in a state of sad acceptance, I present the latest abomination. While I was never expecting the Wicked: For Good posters to join the ranks of some of the best movie posters of all time, I was hoping for a least a sprinkle of magic. The reality has been a slew of Photoshop bodge jobs and soulless CGI that leaves me feeling anxious for the upcoming release.
Wilson completed just 18 of 32 passes for 160 yards and two interceptions in Big Blue's 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs a monumental let-down following his 450-yard, three touchdown afternoon in Dallas a week ago.

Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob respectively, the Twilight films made more than $3.3 billion worldwide altogether.

Some had come up with mocks of what they might look like, so when a leak seemed to make the rounds on social media earlier this month, it didn't receive the kind of response that the brand was likely hoping for. In fact, a majority of Patriots fans were displeased with the color choice, as the jerseys appeared to be more similar to what the Tennessee Titans currently wear than anything that remotely represented New England.
