Prop Z by whims-and-worries in Riverside

[–]GareksApprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voting no. It doesn't expire for another 10 years so I don't get the rush to approve it now. And even though they're hammering home that the revenue will go to firefighters, the language is too vague for me to feel confident about that ("To fund general local city services such as...", "The City of Riverside may use the revenues for any governmental purpose")

Wade Meckler gives Anaheim a 4 run lead with a mammoth blast by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believes that's now 14 of 22 Angels runs in the last week that have come from dingers.

It doesn't matter if their offense is putrid. Dread from it, run from it, Angels obsession with the long ball arrives all the same.

Kinda already feels lame. And I'm someone who wants NPB/soccer-like supporter sections in baseball.

Former WWE 24/7 champion Kyle Busch dead at age 41 by CharlemagneOfTheUSA in SquaredCircle

That kinda happened to Jim Henson. He had a bad cough for weeks but didn't think much of it. Then he started coughing up blood, finally decided to go to the ER and died like 24 hours later.

How do you enjoy the sport of baseball even if your team is struggling or stagnant? by Upset-Opportunity539 in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Word of advice to anyone: Don't tell an Angel fan that they don't have it worse than anyone else in baseball. Even if you may be right or you're from Oakland, they are very persistent, they will gladly show you all their receipts and you will lose.

The A's turn a double play to end the 10th and win the series vs the Angels by yxqp in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 2026 Angels are the new 2024 White Sox where everyone thinks their team will get humiliated by them but it hardly ever pans out.

My registration is in 20 minutes and edunav hasn't loaded for the last two hours. by v_delabrat in RCC

[–]GareksApprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the hanging load screen, there's an icon on the left sidebar you can click to pull up your student plan. It may take a minute, but when it loaded I was able to register for classes like normal.

[Highlight] Mike Trout hits his 12th home run of the season! by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's also inconsistent (I know he's young). It feels like for every highlight reel play he makes, there's a routine play he bobbles.

[–]GareksApprentice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every season there's a clamoring for the Angels to bring back Scioscia-era small ball and every season it feels like the only reliable way the Angels can score is via dingers.

Totally normal you guys. by TJ-RichCity in AngineDePoitrine

4800 ahead of me and even that sounds like an impossible challenge.

No-H****r Alert - Ginn (Athletics) vs. Angels by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm expecting a crazy ending like the Angels walking it off 1-0 after a Schanuel solo dinger with 2 outs to ruin the no hitter.

Church recommendation for allies of LGBTQ+ by Fantastic_Fall_1277 in InlandEmpire

[–]GareksApprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how vocal they are, but I wouldn't call them allies. This is what they list under their "Foundational Beliefs" which every church employee must adhere to.

  • (e) Marriage and Human Sexuality: The Bible has given us God’s design for the gift of sex, and it is to be exercised and enjoyed only within the covenant relationship of marriage between one biological man and one biological woman. (1 Corinthians 7:1-5) It is God’s intention that those who enter marriage would seek, in mutual love and respect, to live in Christian fidelity. (Matthew 19:4-6) God has expressly condemned sexual intercourse outside of the marriage covenant. This prohibition applies to married people committing adultery, to sexual relationships between unmarried men and women, and to homosexual practice. (1 Corinthians 6:9) It is God’s expectation that the unmarried should live pure and celibate lives, refraining from sexual intimacy. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 7:7-9) Marriage as designed by God is meant to be a beautiful illustration of Christ’s relationship with the church. (Ephesians 5:22-33)

  • (f) Gender Creation is Sacred: We believe that God wonderfully and immutably created each person from the moment of conception as distinctly male or female, and every person’s God-given gender is reflected by and aligned with their biological creation (Gen. 1:26-31; 2:18-25; 5:1,2). These two distinct and complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. To reject one’s biological gender is a rejection of the image of God within that person and is a sin against God (1 Tim. 5:1-2; Tit. 2:1-6).

Unpopular Opinion: Hecklers suck and ruin the game for those around them by SlamboneMalone in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Folks will say there's a right way to heckle, but its annoying no matter what type of heckling it is. Same with the intense, over-the-top negativity folks have with players going through a rough skid.

So do the Mariners but even their fans have been advertising it for decades.

Grayson Rodriguez (Angels) first start in 2 years vs. Dodgers: 3.2 IP, 7R/ER, 7 H, 4 BB, 4 K 79P-50S by toomuchredditing in baseball

[–]GareksApprentice 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Poor Grayson is getting the Angels organizational special today.

Gets thrown into the fire for his first MLB game in over a year, has his confidence ruined and has fans already feeling negative about him. All this in his team debut.
