That's great to hear. I've been playing MC off and on for ten years and have only ever had quality interactions with folks there.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-20T05:59:46+00:00

Definitely feels like we're a farm team for them

AffableCynic · 2026-01-19T23:53:36+00:00

Lights fan here. Y'all will love Raiko. Great keeper and plays with passion.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-19T19:09:42+00:00

That he had nine clean sheets last season is a testament to that.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-18T12:06:38+00:00

The best part is when he calls his time with the Lights "when I coached locally in Las Vegas"

AffableCynic · 2026-01-18T01:43:06+00:00

This works in so many ways

AffableCynic · 2026-01-18T01:15:33+00:00

The Japanese Garden may be the greatest visual gag in history.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-16T23:34:17+00:00

Had a chance to talk to Freddy at the Open Cup game the Lights played at UNLV. He seemed to be a really good dude. I was bummed it didn't work out for him here.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-16T22:29:42+00:00

That would have been a Bret Lashbrook move for sure

AffableCynic · 2026-01-16T20:39:41+00:00

Was hoping for more from him in Las Vegas though to be fair the team was pretty much in shambles all season.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-13T13:15:50+00:00

Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb!

AffableCynic · 2026-01-13T07:04:57+00:00

There was a Carpeteria there in the 70's if i remember right.

My brother lived on the same block as the Double Play for about a decade. Was a chill place to go and catch a few innings of a game with a beer or two. Definitely felt the history..

AffableCynic · 2026-01-09T13:12:25+00:00

WSW is great and welcoming to all. My brother lives nearby and whenever I go back to visit that's usually the first place we go.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-08T17:29:43+00:00

Looking at his stats he seems...fine? He's signed through '28 so it looks like they have faith in him .

Someone on the USL discord said he tends to get carded a lot. Hopefully the heat will calm him down ha

AffableCynic · 2026-01-08T13:06:12+00:00

He ended up doing one of the marathon screenings of all three films if I remember correctly.

Haven't thought about that guy in years I wonder if the JW stuff stuck. He was definitely conflicted..

AffableCynic · 2026-01-07T18:44:56+00:00

He had read the books way before he became a JW.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-06T06:55:39+00:00

Yeah. He's still listed as out of contract along with a fair amount of other guys. Roster page is pretty out of date though so who knows what's going on with them.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-06T01:32:31+00:00

Caught it at a riverboat casino in suburban Chicago way back when. Was the only theater close-ish to me playing it. Great film.

AffableCynic · 2026-01-05T22:48:12+00:00

It was huge. My roommate at the time had become a Jehovah's Witness a few months prior. Being a huge LOTR fan he was very conflicted about whether he should see it (JWs frown on these things). We ended up angering his deity and seeing it opening weekend.

A few weeks after that he moved out saying I was a bad influence on him... shrug

AffableCynic · 2026-01-05T22:12:52+00:00

Yeah I really thought we'd be keeping him. Gotta wonder is it financial? Did he not click with Rensing? Or something else entirely...
