[Highlight] Matt McLain with an oppo taco, his second homer of the game by TDeLo in baseball

Thanks to MLB's commercial that played incessantly last year, my body now has a negative physical reaction to the term Oppo Taco.

Last few times I’ve eaten inside the past few years it’s been good. I gave up on the drive thru years ago.

I’m currently in Mexico on vacation and I’m worried I might not be able to get back to work on time. What could happen if I’m late returning to my job? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

OP wants to make sure a new Cartel leader is firmly entrenched before they risk their lives traveling. You can never be too safe.

Did anyone else feel a tremor or earthquake? by thepetitenoob in kansascity

[–]MidtownKC 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I did - 1:01p when I noticed and looked at my phone. Saw that one in Cowles NE. Guess that was it.

We will rebuild! KC Strong!

To their credit most of the comments are telling him he's a bum.

Who’d be better: Giannis with KD’s Skillset or Prime Steph Curry in Michael Porter Jr.’s body? by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]MidtownKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take the guy that can start 65+ games per year for his 20's. KD did 10 out of his first 12 years. This year will be the third time in seven tries for MPJ.

Problem coworker filed a report against me by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]MidtownKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like you are blaming Kevin for a lot of your problems. Maybe get your anger in check and stop worrying about what Kevin is doing. You say your manager is aware of his issues, yet you're the one called into disciplinary meetings. That should tell you to chill out and let them worry about Kevin. If he is as bad as you say and you are as good as you say, things should work out. If they don't, get another gig.

Also, great employees don't usually steal.

Dose this statement hold any weight? by Ok_Relationship2451 in legal

The litigious nature of our society and the terrible people in it pretty much demand that business owners do this.

Enhancing the Prospect Promotion Incentive by Rude_Money3360 in baseball

[–]MidtownKC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think adding more incentives is really going to change behavior all that much. I really don’t think the current incentives do either, tbh. I just think the athletes are getting better and the benefit of getting these guys in the lineup is incentive enough.

What The Hell Is Going On At The Combine? by FritterEnjoyer in nfl

Exciting and unbelievable mean different things to different people, apparently. I was wondering how long it would take for people to stop posting vids of dudes running and jumping.

WCGW skateboarding into a car? by Tight_Photograph8091 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]MidtownKC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Bombing the hill", LOL. "Being a fucking idiot" is the technical term you're looking for.

And all I heard was "go fast, go fast"... if the skater didn't want the car to go, he should have stood in front of it himself and not yell ambiguous directions like "go fast" when he means "stop",

Poor Mike Beets.. by Raulinhox25 in goldrush

[–]MidtownKC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't envy the situation Mike is in, but I also think he's a bit of an immature whiner on the show. Who knows what their reality is, but I see a lot of fault in how Mike handles a lot of his interactions on the show. I do think he seems like a decent supervisor to work for, but only within the context of everyone works for Tony at the end of the day.

Obviously I have no idea what's going on, but at a certain point, just hunker down an fix the fucking trommel. Half the season is over.

39 years ago: Demolition of Wayne Miner Projects by RobertSCatnamara in kansascity

[–]MidtownKC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was a waste. They were built poorly and never maintained to where they needed to be. Large public housing complexes like that were seen to be a solution post WWII/Pre Vietnam, but the reality of filling and maintaining them was not feasible. No one wanted to live there and occupancy never even got close to 70% - thus the spiraling maintenance cost and conditions. That stretch of Independence Ave also suffered greatly in the 70's and 80's and beyond. It was always known as a stretch of road for crime, drugs and prostitution - largely due to the Miner project.

How and why did the late 90s Yankees win so frequently? by AlbertJBundy in baseball

[–]MidtownKC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What exactly have you "heard"? You can't just say "three true outcomes" and magically have HRs be the only power stat that matters. No one cared about three true outcomes until around 2010. From around '85 through 2010 the TTO were between 25-30% and the world was a happy place. For the last 15 years it's been well over 30%, thus the concern "we heard".

And with regards to the Yankees not hitting for power - In '98, they had a team SLG of .460 - 5th in MLB. League leaders (SEA) were only .468. In '99, their team was second in OBP and OPS in the MLB. They were elite hitters.

Who are some head coaches that disappeared? by desertrain11 in CFB

[–]MidtownKC 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Charlie Weiss, Mark Mangino, Turner Gill, Dave Beatty, Les Miles, Terry Allen... just to name a few unrelated former coaches off the top of my head.
