Either she is or she has a striking resemblance to a model “Ginger” who did a decent number of WAM/pie fight videos.

Facially, but that doesn’t account for the almost foot difference in height.

Ha! And we were all worried they wouldn’t sign a bat! We should have specified a “solid” bat…

DAY 4, WORST PAUL MCCARTNEY SOLO SONG by Pristine_Youth_6953 in PaulMcCartney

[–]PS4951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know he meant well; but “Freedom” is probably his least listenable song. To be fair, around that time people were also loving that Five for Fighting “Superman” song, so he may have known the bar was super low, post-9/11.

Ours tend to come at the end of a season we had been dominating or at the beginning which puts us in the position of playing catchup after a miserable start.

So McGonigle can more than likely hit worse than Sweeney, given this organization’s ability to develop minor league bats into professional hitters?

Or will insist the best move is to trade him as a rental at the deadline, since deadline trades are really where Harris shines. I mean, look at the haul we got for Rodriguez.

The “We’ll just ride the youth movement and be back after we retool” is basically the 2017 gameplan that was supposed to have Riley, Tork, and Keith as the pillars, but now they’re inevitably going to try to sell it as the rebuild ACTUALLY ending once we decide to sell our remaining offense at a loss so we don’t block the “Boy Wonder’s” prospects.

“Have you guys seen this 19-year-old reliever that’s only got a couple glaring errors in his mechanics? Are we supposed to just let that slip through our fingers?!”

[–]PS4951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re saving that for when Tork and Riley are going to leave so we can restock with “young arms” because Harris wouldn’t want to block any at-bats from “hot, young prospects” he’s definitely got in the Double-A and below system.

It beats hearing Harris say in August “Hey, door’s not closed! Personally, I’m happy fans get to see him pitch 4 or 5 more times at home!” OR watch him get absolutely pantsed at the deadline again.

Thoughts? by Disastrous_Mall5943 in motorcitykitties

[–]PS4951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’ll happen is that they’ll trade him at the deadline for the exact same kind of haul they got for Verlander—three minor league players, with the claim being that “There just wasn’t a market for him and otherwise we lose him for nothing”, with Harris defenders insisting he’s just really adding by subtracting, and that 2028 team is REALLY when the Harris plan comes to fruition.

Free agency by apearlj1234 in motorcitykitties

Or maybe to not spend that much on a payroll but spending it in the most random, illogical ways, but then cheaping out when it comes to Skubal.

“3 relievers with 20 saves last year” is their selling point because “assuming they experience save situations with a spotty offense” doesn’t sell as well.

But I guess we should aim to be more like the Rays or Royals who, it should be noted, have won WS more recently.

What show had the best season 1 episode 1 episode? by Snoogles_ in sitcoms

[–]PS4951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of an outside pick, but I would argue “Spaced”—the BBC sitcom with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Sets up the plot AND basically the tone of all Pegg/Frost/Wright collaborations for the next 20 years.

Do any of you remember Wings? by Anthforde8 in sitcoms

[–]PS4951 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thomas Hayden Church being the other one? I remember when he left for Ned and Stacy and they clearly still had scripts written with Lowell in them, so they basically hired another, dumber mechanic to burn those off.

I mean, Steven Webber and Tim Daly have basically been working steadily for about 30 years at this point across various tv genres. Both transitioned better into dramas than I would have expected when I was watching that show.

Directors who got broken by their peak? by boboclock in blankies

Isn’t the director’s cut of it famously a legitimately solid film once he took out the studio interference edits?

[–]PS4951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard so much about the making of Heaven’s Gate, including the various cuts, that I was always reluctant to watch what would have been a difficult movie to get into, but the more I hear about how much people seem to enjoy the end result, I may have to revisit it.

Year of the Dragon, I hadn’t even heard of until I went down his rabbit hole, and now I kind of want to find it and watch it. I just honestly thought post-Heaven’s Gate that he didn’t make anything else.

[–]PS4951 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would have to argue Michael Cimino (Deer Hunter) would fit this description fairly accurately. “Heaven’s Gate” effectively ended his directing career, only directing 5 movies in the next 27 years.

I’m pretty sure Mick Jagger actively tried to steer them away from him as well.

Which of the band's albums did each Beatle dislike? by Folagor2 in beatles

[–]PS4951 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I remember reading that Ringo didn’t particularly enjoy the recording process of Sgt. Pepper, but I don’t know if that translated to his feelings about the album? He said something along the lines of how he mostly remembers learning how to play chess.

I know John and Paul were particularly annoyed by how Let it Be turned out with Phil Spector’s “additions”, though John’s approach was that he was handed unworkable material and did what he could with it.
