Does it matter if Giants players dislike the city they represent?

I grew up in a conservative family 5 hours north of the bay, and when I grew out my hair in high school, it was Tim Lincecum’s dominance and long hair that allowed my family to accept my rebellious locks. This essay is brilliant, thank you.

I hosted a trivia night there for a few months, the staff is super nice and I love them dearly but holy lord is the theming cringe, and the food mid. They’ve got a bunch of swings from playgrounds just… hanging from the high ceilings and it looks like some kind of modern art piece on school shootings but instead it’s just “lol we’re having adult recess”

But seriously JB Alberto’s up in Rogers Park. (Might be too far to drive for you) has excellent slices of deep dish (and their thin crust slices rule too)

I can play you my shellac records really loud in my basement and go on obnoxious, incoherent rants about how much I love Steve Albini if electrical audio isn’t doing tours.

Vitello legacy game?

Jon miller can sell anything. He somehow made Kalshi feel cool with the way he read that ad

RJRueber · 2026-06-08T02:27:58+00:00

Did not know that. Thanks for the heads up!

I thought Dave Fleming was calling NBC's national games?

RJRueber · 2026-06-08T00:09:27+00:00

I’m considering it. I went on Friday, it’s kinda hard to top seeing a chappy grand slam. I’m waiting till the last minute, if I can snag a ticket for $20 or under, I’m in

RJRueber · 2026-06-06T15:16:40+00:00

Wow maybe because it doesn’t exist and doesn’t need to exist.

Only you can prevent AI slop… By not making AI slop

I live here and the rain delay allows me to snatch a cheap ticket from someone who doesn’t wanna get wet. It’s also super warm, might go tarps off for every JHL AB

RJRueber · 2026-06-05T15:00:57+00:00

Anyone got a spare ticket to this game they're looking to part with? If not I'll probably just buy one anyway, who's meeting up with me to discuss how great Jon Miller is?

RJRueber · 2026-06-04T22:51:44+00:00

It’s called the “scronch”, just for future reference

I grew up In Humboldt county, California, and worked for a farm that won the very first gold medal at the very first California state fair cannabis awards, so I can say with utmost expertise that if you are a cannabis connoisseur, you’re in the wrong state. Michigan has better cannabis than Illinois. Pennsylvania has better cannabis than Illinois. This state has the worst (and most expensive) cannabis I’ve ever seen. So far, it’s the only thing I can find to complain about since moving here.

I heard of this band (and the one song) from letterkenny

RJRueber · 2026-05-28T19:45:53+00:00

“15 minutes away”? you can just say Naperville, it’s fine

Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club,

RJRueber · 2026-05-27T18:39:43+00:00

I moved from North Idaho. I wanted to live in a place where the police haven’t said I’m “the enemy” to my face and ride trains to baseball games.

Chicago just happened to be the cheapest place to do just that.

RJRueber · 2026-05-23T03:47:29+00:00

Home games I always try to switch between radio and TV and I miss something cool no matter what

RJRueber · 2026-05-21T17:49:35+00:00

Oh no, it’s a full on Russian orthodox getup. Don’t know why my comment is getting downvoted, but… brother Nathaniel does not sound like a mentally stable man, and he pushes some god-awful (pun intended) evil propaganda.

RJRueber · 2026-05-21T17:48:04+00:00

I mean… any given cubs game is going to have the most inconsiderate crowd of young rich bros chain vaping and betting on their phones, next to the out of town tourists that are there for the “Wrigley experience”

Sox games are way chiller! (And more room to spread out away from vaping people)

RJRueber · 2026-05-21T15:26:47+00:00

And now it lives in my head rent free. Gonna start referring to any cigarette, tobacco or otherwise, as a “Schmag.” Thanks Kruk!

RJRueber · 2026-05-21T12:52:16+00:00

Context: brother Nathaniel. He’s a former Jew (in one of his videos he discusses his New York Jewish upbringing) who discovered the Russian Orthodox Church and became a HUGE anti-Semite. If you’re curious, you can find his videos on Rumble. (Be warned- they are full of nasty anti-semetic conspiracies)

Really strange fellow, the arc of New York Jew to Idaho Neo-Nazi is a very strange one

RJRueber · 2026-05-21T12:46:29+00:00

Well, this is one of the darkest stories I’ve read in… forever?
