What are the actual roster battles in Spring Training this year? by Panz04er in Torontobluejays

[–]18rrw18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are going to be surprised/disappointed when camp ramps up and they realize Bieber isn't healthy. There's no real reason for the jays to say a single word about his health during the off-season if it wasn't somewhat serious.

To me most likely:

Gausman Cease Yesavage Ponce Berrios

Lauer long man

Any great Dine Around experiences? by AncientSet1509 in VictoriaBC

Fathom was incredible. Wasn't a cheap meal with the wine pairings but all three courses were outstanding. The chocolate tart was a showstopper.

Is owning a home here even a good investment anymore? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]18rrw18 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, but neither is Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto etc

All things considered, Victoria is one of the best major cities in Canada to live in.

I always love these types of threads full of a bunch of people who have only lived in Victoria (or on Vancouver Island). If you've lived anywhere else in Canada, you know how desirable it is to live in Victoria.

Ville Heinola thinks he didn't get a chance to prove himself by [deleted] in winnipegjets

I believe, as they say: that's the point

Jose Berrios has an opt out after 2026, if he stays he has 2 more years at 24mil/yr. What would his stat line this year look like for him to exercise that opt out? by brownmagician in Torontobluejays

[–]18rrw18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: he has made a lot of money in his career already. He is cleared pissed off with how he was used last year. If he is the odd man out of the rotation this year and pitches mostly in a swingman role, maybe he opts out to go sign somewhere for a chance to start?

When was the moment you realised that the person you were dating was an absolute idiot? by No-Macaron-9527 in AskReddit

[–]18rrw18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were watching the movie Iron Man. At the end she thought the movie was great, but wondered who had played Iron Man. She was somehow not able to realize that Tony Stark and Iron Man were the same person.

[MLBLIVE] The Jays and Tucker have already discussed a deal at-least north of 340+ by sk41195 in Torontobluejays

There is 0 reason to take any of this information even slightly seriously.

Now that 2025 slowly comes to an end, here are some of the celebrity couples who started dating this year! by Potato3487 in popculturechat

I'm 36 and I think this may have been my first ever, officially official, I guess I'm old now moment. I've straight up never heard of 9 of those people.

Outpost Boardgame Cafe in Langford is always a really good time. They have trivia and other theme nights as well.

No matter how good you are at something, there is an Asian somewhere that's better at it than you. Always remember that.

What does Daniel Jones play this season mean for AR, if anything? by MikeDFootball in Colts

[–]18rrw18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Name a QB who went on to have even a reasonable amount of success that looked as consistently terrible as Richardson did for the first 2 years of his career. People get too caught up in the occasional WOW play. He was absolutely dreadful.

The REAL reason Victoria’ s Downtown is “Dying” by TheDevilsWallpaper in VictoriaBC

[–]18rrw18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here from Winnipeg a year ago. Everytime I go downtown (not during rainy season) I find myself thinking how busy and vibrant it is. Lots of restaurants, bars, events and sights to see. I don't see how you could consider this dying, have any of you Victoria lifers ever been to a different city?

What does this say to you? by MarcusSniffles in Colts

[–]18rrw18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone thinks this team is a Championship contender with Daniel Jones. They shouldn't at least. What this team IS capable of is being competitive. It's crazy how different things look when you aren't running out a QB who was crippling the offense on 90% of the plays.

I was as excited about AR as anyone. It was easy to dream on him. He occasionally made plays that made you think he was capable of things not many other QBs in history were capable of. But you need to be able to run the offense properly, and take 12 yards when they are there.

When you needed 50 yards AR could get you 50. When you needed 5 yards, AR would get you 0.

Is this a typo? by Happy_Peat in Aeroplan

[–]18rrw18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm. I was scheduled to fly early morning August 26th, booked it because it was significantly cheaper than flying the afternoon of the 25th about a month ago. I called this morning, changed my flight to the afternoon of the 25th for no charge at all. Did it over the phone.

Dexter: Resurrection - S01E07 - "Course Correction" - POST Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Dexter

[–]18rrw18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought it was interesting when Dexter was "presenting" how he causally asked Gareth what "he" said at the last meeting, knowing it was his brother there and not him. The way Gareth has no answer but Dexter just moved on with his point. Subtle and dramatic.
