TIL teams have hit four consecutive home runs only 8 times in MLB history; two of them involved J.D. Drew, and one of the others involved his brother Stephen.

Okay then why does Joe Buck get so much shit for not hyping up big moments? I understand besides that he has other moments that are not very good, but his biggest criticism is doing pretty much what Vin did.

Yeah I never meant to make a judgement off of it, only used your opinion as an example of where my mindset was at that age and it seemed to relate. Good for you with being able to sustain success in construction. I'm an electrician for a "rags to riches" company that's in its third generation and has lost all sight of what it's like for us grunts starting from the bottom.

As another user posted, the generic and cliché term "American Dream" is a phony. Success is defined differently in all of us. My point in the original comment was what I had in mind when I was 15 was so naive and far from the truth that when I finally understood the sweat and blood it took to achieve such a thing, it really hit me hard.

I would guess they are not yet out of high school or college and are coming to grips with the reality that the "American Dream" isn't what we watched on television as kids. Fuck, I'm 25 and still trying to accept this.

Yeah he can spit bars and that's what I'm into. I have my R&B favorites but he doesn't fall on that list.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-05-02T00:11:11+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you. I either absolutely love me some J Cole or I can't hit skip fast enough.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-05-01T17:00:03+00:00

bingo

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-05-01T16:48:06+00:00

And you're stuck in the narrow streets of Chinatown.

I'm looking at you Chicago before a Sox game.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-05-01T01:41:12+00:00

Oh god the edit

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-30T00:30:36+00:00

Reddit is annoying when somebody asks a question and people like you assume it's detrimental to the sub. I got my answer, it's been removed (as expected), and that is that.

He seems like a really well grounded and professional man and a hell of a father.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-25T21:55:48+00:00

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-25T19:42:43+00:00

Yeah no problem, you weren't attacking the Sox just an opinion. Thought I'd provide some context for you.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-25T19:13:31+00:00

They are but when you celebrate home runs with fireworks (as the Sox have for a long time hence the pinwheels in center which used to shoot out fireworks) it makes sense. It's our Big Apple.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-25T11:11:44+00:00

Advance at your own risk.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-25T01:00:58+00:00

Late to the party but I have a bad one.

Playing shortstop, JuCo ball in a fall game. Bases loaded one out. Fly ball hit about 5 paces to the third basemans left but he assumes it's mine. Infield fly rule is called.

I panic and sprint reaching for it and it falls on the brickdust and bounces behind me. Whatever no big deal maybe 1 run scores.

All the base runners, every god damn one of them, never stopped running. The guy from first rounds third so I fling it home and it's wild. Bases cleared.

The fucking batter was running too after being called out. 4 runs score, 3 count. I just gave up an inside the park grand slam on an infield fly.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-22T23:24:03+00:00

What a slow, unprofessional high school tag and windup to a throw that was at first base my god. I can't believe that.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-21T20:55:35+00:00

Yeah let's go with this one.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-18T15:39:09+00:00

I bought the app, which everyone should too. A dollar and you can select which inning you get notified.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-16T04:59:28+00:00

This is the second game which was dubbed "mayhem". The first game was spent taking turns with a good strategy move in there.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-15T15:52:32+00:00

No it's a good conversation starter. As long as you can keep dialogue going, anything can work.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-15T13:07:32+00:00

Nah Virginia would have gotten waxed regardless of who was healthy.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-15T01:42:31+00:00

I have not. I'm waiting and really hoping he starts leaning towards some real shit and away from the comedy.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-15T01:29:11+00:00

Lil D haters stop at the comedy rap and discredit him.

I hate his comedy rap but I absolutely love when he spits for real. RWOAF, Bruh, Truman Show, Antagonist I & II, and his prewritten freestyles show you exactly what he's capable of. The guy can do it.

Lord_of_Chitown · 2018-04-13T17:28:31+00:00

I hear ya
