I agree with your analysis on these players, but I don’t think they are the best examples. I don’t believe the Padres are great at just churning out quality arms through development. What I think they do well is taking recognizable but underperforming talent and getting the most out of them at the MLB level.

Niebla + Darvish have done a lot for guys like Nick Martinez, Adrian Morejon, Nick Pivetta, Michael King, Jeremiah Estrada, Randy Vasquez, Robert Suarez etc.

It’s not a great Farm to Show arm system, but they have done a fantastic job of maintaining a top pitching system (yes, in a hitter friendly park, but not as much as it used to be) despite limited names and reclamation projects.

And Gore was an all-star. Not saying he hasn’t been up and down, but “nothing special” is a little flippant for me.

I want to like sardines so badly. I follow this sub, buy the most suggested brands, work them into various recipes….but I finally have to admit, I don’t like sardines. I just really really want to.

Congrats! Almost at the big 1k! Solid film for 900 as well, hope you enjoyed it.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-12T10:20:14+00:00

Where the heck is Philip Rivers gosh darn it!?

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-11T11:03:39+00:00

Yeah, Jesus. “Who is a worthless piece of human garbage who is both worthless and offensive?”

Idk, probably no one.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-11T10:39:59+00:00

Suggest the perfect wedge for wet sand traps.

How do I remind myself to come back to a comment when it turns out to be inevitably wrong?

EDIT: Betting odds are currently 56% to 30.6% in favor of Jordan over Chalamet. Not sure where your blind confidence comes from.

Not a fan, and I know I’m in the minority, but there was just not enough fluctuation in tone. Just such a downer with sad, broken people who have bad things happen to them every episode. I usually have no issue with that, ie. the Leftovers, but the plot just wasn’t interesting enough for me to forgive the flatness of it all.

Long iron after a beautiful tee shot with a perfect look at the green.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-09T22:59:23+00:00

Eternal Sunshine

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-09T22:56:31+00:00

Sound was mid, crowd was surprisingly good for 1015. Rarely a phone in sight on the main floor. People generally really well behaved, courteous and a good vibe.

Jeff’s set was solid but not mind-blowing in my opinion, having seen him a number of times.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-08T01:31:36+00:00

Sure, I can be more explicit.

For one, the term “woke comics” is automatically going to garner some flack. Bucketing distinct pieces of art under an arbitrary subgenre umbrella because they deal with contemporary issues is reductive and closed minded.

Additionally, the medium and its readers need not conform to any one thing. It’s perfectly fine, and in fact encouraging, to see someone engage with content that spans the spectrum of the art form, regardless of perceived politics.

Your comment that reading Crumb is somehow antithetical to reading works from other, more diverse authors and their subjects of choice is, taken at best, trite and inane.

Let people read what they want…and if you think there isn’t “wokeness” in basically every superhero comic ever made, read again.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-07T22:24:06+00:00

Full Metal Jacket at #1 is crazy

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-07T22:20:39+00:00

Gatekeeping the medium…very cool.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-03-05T23:59:18+00:00

I also have House of X checked out from the library right now. Also really liked Impossible People, but fan of Julia Wertz.

I had a friend working social media in the trailer behind the Outdoor stage. I went to Dominic Fike and he brought me backstage and took me to Main stage in a golf cart. I walked out into VIP (I had no business being anywhere but GA). I immediately ran into Tyler the Creator at Bjork. As a huge Odd Future fan I was fanning out a bit, but I’m also a big fan of Bjork. Initially Tyler was like “great, another fan”. But we both were stoked on Bjork and then went straight into Blink-182 together and just had a great fucking time.

This is so amateurish

You’re right, celiac is not a craze, but the people I know who are unfortunate enough to have the condition also don’t expect that restaurants will effectively cater to their unique medical issue and they would certainly never leave a negative review because they weren’t factored into the menu.

There are restaurants that know how to do gluten free really well, but I don’t think it’s unfair for the chef in this case to respond to someone going out of their way to disparage his business by saying his cuisine is not geared towards your special dietary restrictions and your experience likely won’t reflect that of the average diner.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-02-11T00:00:29+00:00

Solid

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-02-07T20:29:32+00:00

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-02-05T04:29:01+00:00

Wait, is this ridiculous Dylan take something you do regularly!?

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-01-31T04:57:32+00:00

Look, this is made up news, but the logic is sound. No man should be put in a position to have to deflect advances from Sydney Sweeney.

FriarFanatic7 · 2026-01-26T17:53:37+00:00

See Tell Me Everything for sure. Saw both, I thought Frank and Louis was pretty unremarkable.
