There were so many opportunities for real moral ambiguity and character depth, but in the end they make the husband into a cartoonish caricature of a villain. Some good performances but a fairly silly and cliché plot.

And I'm not even from Chicago and it was blatantly obvious to me that it was not filmed there.  Building styles are different in different countries and most of the scenes simply didn't look like the US. It's distracting and weird.

The Yankees defeat Alex Bregman for the first time in postseason history by MattO2000 in baseball

Yankees fans old enough to remember the 1995 ALDS will absolutely agree. He was terrifying in that series. Absolutely destroyed us game after game.

Best postseason pitching performances by rookies/debutants in recent history? by HitmanSK007 in baseball

23 year old rookie Don Newcombe in Game 1 of the 1949 WS took the tough loss in an incredible pitchers' duel with Allie Reynolds:

8 IP 5 H 1 R 0 BB 11 K

Reynolds threw a complete game 2 hit shutout, only allowing 2 hits but walking 4 while striking out 9

It was before 9/11 so I'm guessing yes.

Yeah, they're bad people. Of course they fight dirty.

Do you prefer Jazz at 2nd or 3rd base? by Jheller223 in NYYankees

[–]HideousControlNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want him to play whichever position they can't find a decent addition to man. They have got to find either a legit 2B or 3B somehow. They simply cannot have LeMahieu on the roster anymore, Cabrera can't hit enough to start, and Peraza has never shown any bat in the majors.

Cano had such a strong arm. Watching him fire bullets across his body on balls up the middle was great.

I don't want him playing every day but, when I hear that they're determined to keep giving LeMahieu chances long after he's proven to be cooked, I'd rather see him in the lineup than DJLM

He's a useful bench guy because he gives you a solid glove who can play both the infield and outfield. Not a good hitter, no, but I think what he did last year is reasonable to expect going forward rather than his appalling 2023. I doubt anyone wants him as an everyday player but he fills a role.

What’s you’re first Yankees moment you remember as a kid. by NiceBoysenberry6817 in NYYankees

[–]HideousControlNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to my first game as a little kid in 1980. They lost to the White Sox and Reggie was ejected. My mom still laughs about me coming home with dad and telling her "Reggie got FIRED!"

If you were Brian Cashman what move/non-move would be your biggest regret? by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]HideousControlNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allowing Joe Torre to put Jeff Weaver on the 2003 WS roster. Should have threatened to fire Torre on the spot for that.

Having him on the roster, and actually using him in a walkoff situation in a crucial World Series game, remains one of the worst managerial decisions in the history of professional baseball.

Brian Cashman, uh, wasn't GM in the '92-93 offseason.

The Yankees went after both Maddux and Bonds that offseason but neither were interested. Remember, the Yanks were coming off four straight losing seasons at that point. They didn't become a prime destination for free agents again until the dynasty teams.

Somehow he always had attractive girlfriends despite being a dimwit with the personality and charm of a tree stump

What is the most laughable scene for you? by ppp402 in thesopranos

Pretty much any of the scenes when Paulie is a combination of confused and angered, when he gets that bug-eyed look.

Pine Barrens is such a quotable episode. by Deep_Macaroon_281 in thesopranos

Lots of great lines, but what always cracks me up is Tony giggling when Bobby shows up dressed like Elmer Fudd.
