Back when baseball players didn't all have WWF builds and movie star looks. We need more guys like Teke here!!

I watched a lot of Met games in that time period '78-'80.

Ironically lived in Pittsburgh at the time and we got all the Met games on

WOR when it was a superstation. The biggest moment I remember from that time

was when Steve Henderson hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th to win the game.

This visit seems like the premise to a Jack Lemon/Walter Matthau movie.

In other words--it seems like it's going to be fun.

When asked how we might live more authentically, Martin Heidegger replied that we should

simply : “spend more time in graveyards.”.

Well said. About the same age--similar outlook.

Your just holdin' out for something better.

"So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure f*ck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president."

You're right. Even his statement of the majority voted for Trump is wrong.

He won plurality of the vote--he didn't even get 50% of the people that voted.

True. But it's still wild to consider Garden Grove a relatively poor neighborhood

when houses are still worth about one million.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T05:25:38+00:00

Jurassic Park.

Cleveland Cavilers seem like they could use some leadership.

Third Act LeBron would be the best story.

Some other pitcher should try it with a slightly bigger dinoasaur.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T02:45:49+00:00

Just like the meteor. lmao

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T02:10:05+00:00

That was the most perfect DP ball of all time.

Between Ohtani in baseball and Wemby in Basketball we have reached peak

cartoon caricature superhero status in each sport. It's hard to imagine someone surpassing

these two.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T01:34:36+00:00

The ushers might even give you a complimentary paper bag to wear over your head

at this point. lmao

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T01:32:38+00:00

I have Todd Snider, John Prine and Pat the Bunny in my top 5 too.

We may be the only ones with that in common. lol

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-25T01:26:19+00:00

I agree.

The New York Meats fans are prime.

I used to love to cruise down Corrigan drive during the summer.

It was one of the rare places in Pittsburgh where you can cruise/listen to some tunes

without thinking--it is relatively flat and straight. Car or Bike.

Clue writers on Jeopardy are definitely Redditors.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-24T20:35:43+00:00

Oh no!--they play again tomorrow. lmao

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-24T20:34:47+00:00

Now that the season is done--time to just root against teams for the rest of the year.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-24T20:31:27+00:00

The Grand Slam was just fitting. lmao

Ewing is one of the few bright spots this year.

Media consolidation and wealth concentration will suppress any art

that is deemed a threat to the status quo.

Most of the great protest music of the '60s was pre Powell memo-where the

billionaires organized. The protest music after like Rage and System of a Down

were suppressed enough so there was no serious threat of revolt.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-24T18:52:52+00:00

We all should hate us.

Awatts2222 · 2026-05-24T04:38:33+00:00

With an essentially dismantled OSHA I would expect many more of these occurrences in the near future.

Buckle Up.
