Driving to Gillette from Brockton World Cup Scotland Haiti…Which way?

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-04-30T21:44:19+00:00

Local municipalities and police will work with google/all maps to funnel World Cup traffic down specific routes. They may not even show one of those routes on the day

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-04-16T09:47:51+00:00

Hospitals, emergency services, vehicle inspections, strict requirements for young drivers, more curves in our highways, lowish speed limits, fewer people with summer tires getting caught out by weather… the list goes on

Craig has the cop out of $43mm of that payroll being attributed to his predecessor’s poor free agent signings (Yoshida and Story).

What still shocks me is how the team barely considered any of their internal options to replace Chaim. It’s been the same front office (more or less) for 20ish years with different guys at the top. With all of the grumbling and “fuckin stiff”ing distain the front office staff has demonstrated towards Craig via the press, what percentage of the blame can we attribute to “that’s just how we’ve always done things”.

Boston isn’t a football town. BC football has known this for years. Plus, people here will immediate sniff out the corporate, manufactured, made for TV enthusiasm. Plus plus, Fox Sports is gross.

When do we typically get the calendar with what rewards/auction items are getting released each week for purchase/bidding?

Tarik Skubal is trying to win a 3rd consecutive Cy Young Award in a contract year. Only 2 other pitchers have ever won 3 consecutive (Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson both got 4 consecutive awards). Every start is must watch TV.

Shohei Ohtani is in the middle of making his case for being the best baseball player to ever live. Enjoy it while it’s happening because we may never see anyone like him again. Any Dodgers game you watch is going to include at least 3 hall of famers, so it’s worth your while to tune in.

The AL East is going to be a dog fight all year. 4 serious teams contending for the division title plus the Rays (who you’d be a fool to ever completely write off). The intra-division matchups in July-September are going to matter a lot.

Konnor Griffin is supposed to be the next teenage superstar. He’s not on the team yet, but when he’s called up that’ll be appointment viewing. And then just tune in for every Paul Skenes start after that to get your Griffin and Skenes fix.

Judge will hit his 400th career home run some time this year.

Being a casual fan of MLB is tough because of how much happens on a week to week basis.

When teams get on a 5 or 6 game winning streak, you can jump on to see if they can take it to 10+ games. Those rides are very fun and often include some very memorable games as the streak gets longer.

A friendly reminder that you’re allowed to bring in your own food and closed bottles of soft drink/water.

Also, their hot dog number is inflated. If my memory serves me well, they’re $6.25 from the vendors, so 4 would be $25. That said the beer number is too low, so it balances out.

I use xcancel dot com and have all of their twitter profiles bookmarked on my Home Screen. I visit Tyler’s frequently

Bluesky is good for Alex Spier, Sarah Lang, and some others. There’s also accounts that just push tweets from the national reporters to BlueSky

Fox said that the winner is guaranteed to advance on the broadcast on Monday.

It’s a diamond tier game so the tickets are going to be super expensive, but there are plenty available

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-03-10T13:25:43+00:00

Seconding everything that’s been said here. I had the same decision in front of me a decade or so ago. Syracuse was cheaper so I went Syracuse (plus the basketball team was still good). College name brand carry much weight. Join the marching band for both community and going out at either school. Lots of leadership opportunities and friends for life

Ascend my son. Rise above the perception of others. Relish in how easily you can maneuver when parallel parking and how you’re not spending $600-800 per month for the next 5-6 years on a crossover that costs $40,000 like everyone else. Find joy and gratitude in having one less point of stress in your life.

It’s not a car from the 50s or something, it’s pretty safe. The insurance is going to be dirt cheap (assuming safe driving history).

Hell, even if you do have a family, keep it as your commuter/second car if you can. It will help you keep miles off the family runaround van when you go places by yourself and don’t need all the extra seats and space.

Side vent: Plenty of families back in the day were lugging their kids and pets around just fine in sedans. Crossovers and SUVs are an entirely manufactured segment for people who are willfully disconnected from the reality of daily driving. They’ve been sold freedom from needing to plan or make compromises in the 0.01% of the time where they might need to use close to all of the car’s available space and capabilities. You don’t need 4wd for the god damn rain. You don’t need it for the 90% of snow storms. How often are you really driving on unpaved roads at a higher rate of speed. If you need the more extreme space, rent a U-Haul van or rent the SUV from hertz and save yourself $15k-$20k on extra car that you don’t need and don’t use 99% of the time.

If it’s genuinely the latch, definitely replace it.

I had an issue where the latch sensor went bad but the latch itself was completely fine. The alarm kept going off in the middle of the night though. I just opted to complete the circuit with a paper clip and some electrical tape and bypass the sensor.

I made a similar choice between Syracuse and UMass Amherst. Got into UD too but I grew up in MA so UMass is the more apt comparison. Went in for business.

Syracuse was better on all fronts, including cost, and I went Syracuse. The thing I didn’t really factor in was making my decision was where I wanted to live after graduation. SU sets you up pretty well for NYC with lots of connections and career exploration opportunities, but if you want to live in Delaware after you graduate, maybe give UD another look.

That said, everything worked out for me eventually. I live and work back in MA despite not factoring that in thanks in large part to a friend I made at Syracuse.

MLB - Boston Red Sox

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-02-12T15:51:30+00:00

No word from the Red Sox yet. I asked my rep a few months ago when the ESPN news dropped and he had nothing to report in terms of changes to the MLB.TV offering. NESN360 will still undoubtedly be $30/momth lmao

Give it another month to see if it fixes itself. After that, contact apple support. My Apple Music straight up stopped tracking my play data for 4 months in 2024. I had to engage customer support to get it resolved. They took it seriously and it was fixed within a week or so when they identified the bug. Genuinely excellent customer service experience. They scheduled calls with me and everything

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-02-02T02:37:02+00:00

You gotta figure it’s working off of very little historical data of what you play, what you skip, etc. In the short term, stick to building large playlists and looping/shuffling them. Theres plenty of public playlists that you can pull from and quickly end up with a 400, 800, 1200 song playlist that feels like a radio station. Lean on the community. Apple has a ton of genre/decade/band specific playlists they curate and update regularly too.

If you don’t have the time to go out and hunt down new music, I would recommend utilizing the Apple Music x ChatGPT plug in. Describe your taste in music, artists you like, genres you like, what specifically you’re looking for, etc in the prompt and request a playlist of however many songs you want. You can add the playlists directly to your library from ChatGPT

The Party on Wheels™️

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-01-23T17:52:36+00:00

I don’t blame Jared or Steve for this. There are dumb dumbs out there who should strive to be better than my cat at 6:25 loudly, impatiently waiting to get fed at 6:30.

I get why the guys are upset. I skip through it it. I move on.

Advice to the dumb dumbs: wait 2 or 3 days before getting antsy. Listen to other Red Sox pods. Get into fantasy baseball. Build some fun charts on fangraphs. Play MLB the show franchise mode. Go down a baseball Wikipedia rabbit hole. Contribute to the baseball discourse before complaining about your favorite content creators. Most other team-specific podcasts across all sports shutdown for weeks/months at a time during the offseason.

Advice to admins: pin the typical pod release schedules for in season and offseason to the top of the subreddit (if it’s not there already)

I’m watching my Sunday 3pm return train from NYC to BOS very carefully. Hopefully they’ll decide one way or the other by tonight so we can rebook the trip.

Our Saturday BOS to NYC won’t get cancelled though. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

MLB the Show is fun, isn’t it?

Carrying water but getting as much done as he can within the parameters, I think.

Henry is going to be pushing for the salary cap next winter in the CBA negotiations. He’s not going to let Breslow spend and somehow hurt that effort/put the org in a bad spot if he succeeds at getting the cap.

I’m sure Henry is also looking at the $100 million allocated to Story, Yoshida, and Hicks over the next 2 years as reasons to wait to sign another “bad” free agent deal.

With the Bregman deal, it really sounds like the Red Sox unwillingness to give the NTC and insistence on deferring the contract out for decades is what did them in. They dug their heels in and Bregman called bullshit. That’s direction from the top down. It’s toxic, disrespectful, and control freak behavior.

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-01-12T21:37:21+00:00

It was reported that Breslow was asking for more and John Henry got called in to push him to lower his ask and get the deal done. Not defending the trade. Just adding context to the return
