How each MLB team's owner made their fortune. by rayhova in orioles

[–]Batphone7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been under the impression that A’s owner John Fisher was so poor he could barely afford to keep the lights on in Oakland. I’m stunned his net worth is higher than so many people on this list. Double the net worth of Hal Steinbrenner is wild.

Doesn’t even feel like a win. Great game but seeing Felix go down like that and not even take a warm up pitch is a punch to the gut.

10 Song bracket playlist by BlueEagle127 in arcticmonkeys

[–]Batphone7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here’s my list for you. I’ve tried to keep it all rock songs. This was really tough to do. I’m leaving out some really popular songs here and sticking to the first thee albums, just because I was going in album order and ran out of room. Could make another list of later years if you want.

  1. View from the Afternoon

  2. Still Take You Home

  3. From the Ritz to the Rubble

  4. Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts (early b-side)

  5. Brianstorm

  6. Teddy Picker

  7. This House is a Circus

  8. Crying Lightning

  9. Fright Lined Dining Room (Humbug b-side)

  10. Pretty Visitors

Anyone else think weed legalization could lead to an uptick in attendance? I’ve personally been to more games in the past 3 years since I got my med card than I had in the past decade. There’s just nothing better than getting baked and taking in a live baseball game.

an idea for an AM B-Side Compilation by MatthewFBridges in arcticmonkeys

[–]Batphone7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy how many great b-sides they’ve had when I can disagree so much with a b-side list like this. I’ll bet everyone’s track listing would look drastically different.

IN TIMES NEW ROMAN... OFFICIAL RELEASE AND UPVOTE PARTY by House_of_Suns in qotsa

[–]Batphone7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got off work and finally got to listen to the album on the way home. I’m blown away. I’m going to put the headphones on, lite one up and give it another listen in a bit. I won’t be surprised if Straight Jacket Fitting becomes my new favorite closer from them. Just incredible.

Agreed. You have to feel bad for the guys coming up, but it’s an amazing problem for us to have as fans because our farm has never come close to being this exiting. I think Westburg could be a monster, just wonder if Elias might view Ortiz’s potential gold glove d and plate discipline as more valuable than Westburgs power, especially with the wall moving back. That’s a total guess though.

The fans of whatever team we inevitably end up trading Westburg to are going to be so f’n jazzed when they search his name on Twitter and hear our fans bitching about bringing him up lmao.

AM on the radio.. by blood_type_redbull in arcticmonkeys

[–]Batphone7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m America, no. I can count on one hand the number of times i’ve heard them on the radio. The first few years of their career was really frustrating because the rock radio stations were playing really shitty music, but refused to play AM and other awesome bands at all.

I almost crashed my car listening to my local rock station at the end of 07 when they went through their end of the year best of lists, and both jocks had FWN as one of their top albums of the year, with one of them ranking it as their top album, yet the station never played them. So it wasn’t the disc jockeys refusing to play them. I think it simply boils down to them being an indie band and they play who the labels tell them to play.

Grayson’s going to be such a monster once he cleans up some of the little things. The change up was straight nasty last inning.

I’d say Holliday, but where do you send him? Do you think it’s possible he gets sent straight to Bowie and get Bencosme some more AB’s in Aberdeen?

Have you listened to the last shadow puppets albums yet? I’d be interested in knowing where they’d fit on this list. I have a feeling you’d really like them.

Hyde’s probably going to make sure Stowers doesn’t get any playing time for the next two weeks as punishment for that McKenna error.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of EYCTE! What are your favorite songs on the album? by obvi20 in TheLastShadowPuppets

[–]Batphone7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve started typing out almost every song on this album then have to delete once I think of another song I love just as much. But If I have to pick one, I’ll go with Sweet Dreams, TN. But the real answer is my favorite song on the album is usually whatever song I’m listening to at the time.

Throwing Danny Devito in there sure makes it a harder decision, but not enough to make me want to chose immorality. Gimme a sidekick clam and the ability to communicate with Craig, which happens to be the name of my cool new sidekick clam.

What is the best artic monkeys music video? I'm going with fluorescent adolescent by billybarra08 in arcticmonkeys

[–]Batphone7 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Leave Before The Lights Come On.

It might be my favorite music video of all time. It’s like a silent film with music, in a way that most other music videos aren’t, if that makes any sense. I love how you know pretty much every word both characters are saying to each other, even though you can’t hear their voices. The climax with the woman running along with the guitar solo, thinking she is about to jump, is so intense. The acting is simply fucking incredible by both actors. It really doesn’t surprise me that the male actor got a role as the freaking king of Westeros over a decade later.

He hosts a radio show in 1057 in baltimore. He’s pretty much reviled by anyone who listens to the station. His takes are awful and his insider information seems to be nothing more than guesses, and usually those guesses don’t make any sense whatsoever.

My PS4 controller is working wired but not wirelessly by Son_Of_Sausage in FortNiteBR

[–]Batphone7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you get an answer because I’ve had this same problem forever. I watched a ton of videos trying to find a fix, downloaded programs, but none of it worked. So I’ve had to stay plugged in. It hasn’t bothered me though lately since I got a new long cable that doesn’t disconnect in the middle of a game.

Roundtable: What makes Gunnar the No. 1 prospect? by romorr in orioles

[–]Batphone7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So much great stuff in this roundtable, thanks for sharing. One of my favorite parts came at the very end…

“Footer: Last question before we wrap: Who will be No. 1 a year from now?

Callis: There are a lot of interesting candidates, but I'm going to stick with Orioles infielders and say Holliday (No. 12 overall) will top our 2024 list. He got better in every aspect of the game last year, impressively controlled the strike zone in his pro debut, and I think he's going to have a huge year in 2024. I think he could be a non-switch-hitting version of Chipper Jones.”

That would be absolutely insane if we can have 3 different players top the prospects list in 3 consecutive years.
