If it were up to David Eckstein, there would be no debate over how his former team should handle Shohei Ohtani -- telling TMZ Sports Shohei should still pitch and hit even if he has arm surgery!! There's been a huge debate in baseball over what the Angels should do with their rookie phenom, whose pitching elbow is now so jacked up ... it requires Tommy John. David says if it were his body and his...

[As you probably already know, starting on Thursday, August 21, Fxx is running the Every Simpsons Ever Marathon, running through all 552 episodes of "The Simpsons," plus "The Simpsons Movie." To aid in your viewing process, Team HitFix is selecting our favorite episodes from each day, plus an episode or two that you can skip and use as a bathroom or nap break.] We're nearing the end! Day 11 of Fxx's Every Simpsons Ever Marathon takes us from "The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed" (mid-Season 21) through "Beware My Cheating Bart" (late-Season 23). Personally, I was shocked to see at least one or two episodes in this period that I haven't seen, as well as a lot of episodes I haven't seen multiple times, which was almost unheard-of for the first eight or nine days of the Marathon. But we still have preferences for you. Yup! We're gonna make it through this whole darned Marathon, for which we're unlikely to receive a prize. But we've got commitment. [Oh and the episode guest-starring Katy Perry is "The Fight Before Christmas," airing at 7:30 a.m. It was neither good nor bad enough to get mentioned here, but it makes for a good picture.] Check out our recommendations for Day 10 and chime in with your own favorites... Katie Hasty Recommends: "The Bob Next Door" (3 a.m.) Episode #463 Why it's worth watching: The best Sideshow Bob is an evil Sideshow Bob. And the best kind of Nicolas Cage movie is "Face/Off." The premise of...

After opening with the extremely dark, long couch-gag, there was no way The Simpsons could have failed last night.
The opening, which was credited to street artist Banksy, included a whipped panda, a dolphin head and a dying unicorn. That's a recipe for hilarity.
Oh, and then there was yet another Simpsons episode devoted to our boring American pastime, baseball. "MoneyBart" was a parody of the sabermetrics approached pioneered by Bill James and written about in Moneyball. While Moneyball was written in 2003 and the episode might not seem timely, the 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt should help.
While this week's installment will never replace our favorite Simpsons baseball episode, "Homer at the Bat," there were certainly plenty of great jokes and a strong enough story with heart to keep us entertained. We probably could have gone without the painful cameo by Mike Scioscia, though.

['The Simpsons - 'MoneyBART']
This was the last episode of 'The Simpsons' until their annual 'Treehouse of Horror' on Nov. 7, so if this doesn't satisfy your 'Simpsons' cravings until then, you're S.O.L. As far as episode quality goes, it was a fair episode with a cute ending. I'm a sucker for endings where the family resolves some sort of internal conflict.
Tonight's episode had Lisa taking over the managerial position of the Springfield Isotots, Bart's Little League team, in the interest of collecting extracurricular activities for getting into an Ivy League college. Hilarity did then ensue.
The voice of Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia made its first 'Simpsons' appearance since 'Homer At The Bat' in1992 (the plot of which also involved baseball). He was a player back then, rather than a manager. Eighteen years surely has to be a record for time between...
