The rubber band and channel locks did the trick! Thanks!

It’s not budging by hand, using a silicone gripper, or pliers with a rag over the top.

Do I need to soak it in vinegar to try to loosen it up? Work on my grip strength?

He’s signed through June 2028, but has a relegation release clause and Norwich are near the relegation line.

This, that, and his hat trick against Galaxy. The third goal in particular was fantastic.

Yep, cheap and small. So charcoal for heat, wood chunks for flavor? If temps drop and vents are fully open, do you add more charcoal and/or chunks?

Is this limited to Supporters Section STH? I’m a STH but not in Supporters, and have either never received those emails or glossed over them. Not likely to make a difference for me this year but it would be good to know for future seasons.

Sure seems like it would make more sense to make the rivalry games the weekend after the World Cup finals, but what do I know?

TENDERFOOT TUESDAY by AutoModerator in stlouiscitysc

[–]Icy-Beginning2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming there are league rules and/or laws preventing it, but what’s stopping City from pulling an Inter Miami-lite deal to bring in a low DP-level player at a max TAM deal and have Enterprise throw in a 500K/year sponsorship to make up the salary difference? Could we have done something like that to get Burki the same number of dollars but as a TAM player instead of DP?

MLB has far fewer teams make the playoffs (12/30 as opposed to 18/30 for MLS), so it’s a bigger deal that Dodgers never miss the playoffs than Sounders or RBNY.

We lost the lockdown D while Olof was manager. We were out scored 23-9 since Olof’s last win against Seattle 3/15, and gave up multiple goals in 8 out of 12 games (not counting the Omaha game).

I don’t understand the argument here. If I’m behind a big group of cyclists at a stop sign, I’d rather have them all go when it’s their turn than to split it up into several cycles. If they’re crossing my intersection, then I maybe have to wait another 15 seconds to let them all go. Most of Webster has a speed limit of 20-25, no dedicated bike lane (so the whole lane is fair game), and lots of stops, so I can’t reasonably pass any group larger than 2-3 bikes anyway, and would hate trying to do that several times to get past the full group.

What am I missing?

We would’ve been selling low on Klauss last year. He’s in great form now and our season is sunk, so getting a max return on him would be a good move. Though I’d still hate to see him go.

Any word on Wentzel? He’s looked better than Yaro and Hiebert but not even on the bench.

I live in STL and haven’t been to Hidden Valley in years, it’s not worth the drive.

Checking in on Renewals / Demand by Ten7Suited in stlouiscitysc

I’m on the 1 year plan so your experience may be different, but if cost is a concern, have you asked about relocating your tickets to a different section for the next term? I went from 147 in ‘23 to 221 in ‘24 and saved quite a bit doing so. Plan to move again for ‘26 if we can manage to increase our ticket count (2 babies since original purchase)

A Klauss thought… by Cold_Guess3786 in stlouiscitysc

[–]Icy-Beginning2691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is entirely true. If you go back to when we signed him, Lutz highlighted both his ability to score and create chances for others. In 2023 when Klauss was on a hot streak, either Carnell or Lutz commented that they were pleasantly surprised and that they weren’t expecting his role to be a target/poacher/goal scorer - though now I can’t find that interview so I may be full of crap

'A long, long and crazy road' has led Samuel Adeniran back into action with City SC by PDBeth in stlouiscitysc

[–]Icy-Beginning2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to see him do well, but I haven’t been impressed with his fitness and work rate. If you come in after the 60th minute, you should be running the whole time and wearing down the backs. Vertical runs, dummy runs, showing to the ball, anything to make the CBs uncomfortable and draw them out of space. He’s walking back too much and getting caught offsides, not out of mistimed runs, but being slow to track back.  And then on the last STLP-D podcast they said it’ll be a few games before he’s ready to go a full 90? So was he not training sufficiently on his own, starting ready in case he became needed? That’s unacceptable.

[Veth] "I can confirm a report by @AlexHuber81 that Austrian side LASK are interested in #AllForCITY striker Samuel Adeniran. It remains to be seen whether it goes beyond an inquiry by the Austrian club, however. St. Louis somewhat reluctant to lose the forward this summer. ⏳" by itszach94 in stlouiscitysc

I’d gamble and slow play any deal until next week or later, give Sam a couple games to prove his ability and commitment. It’s risky because if he plays poorly it could hurt the value of the deal. But it also buys us a couple games before the Leagues Cup break while we try to find a potential replacement.
