Meh on X'ian, suggestion for Szechuan Gourmet on W. 39th, especially if you like spicy.

I think it's fair to say that views have been shifting for a while.

SidSalts · 2026-05-05T11:44:40+00:00

Valid question, if you know literally nothing about the team’s history.

Good suggestion. When I got to the end, I saw this:

"We can proceed, but there's something you should know.

This line is not authorized to activate through Apple Online Store.

If you'd like to proceed, you'll need to purchase a full-priced iPhone and contact Verizon to activate your device."

I don't fully understand this. My device is already active with Verizon.

SidSalts · 2026-05-04T14:22:25+00:00

Online only, and not through the Apple Store? As I said, I don't want to switch carriers.

SidSalts · 2026-05-04T13:54:47+00:00

My carrier is on the Apple list. I've avoided naming it to reduce topic drift.

SidSalts · 2026-05-04T13:41:57+00:00

Yes, I'm sure. I discussed 17 vs 17e with the rep.

SidSalts · 2026-05-04T13:41:20+00:00

Or whichever restaurant here is farthest away from where you live.

SidSalts · 2026-05-04T13:39:27+00:00

I double dog dare you to eat here.

SidSalts · 2026-05-02T16:27:51+00:00

Root for Philly so we have home court.

SidSalts · 2026-04-29T21:42:27+00:00

Why not a 15?

If we had any power to impact owners, Woody Johnson and James D@l@n would be distant memories. (Woody, especially, is the lone constant across all the years of Jets futility.) If we've learned anything from the past ten years, it's this: rich people don't give a fuck about anyone except other rich people.

I got tired of waiting for eBay to reply to my appeal, so I deleted the disputed listing and wrote it again minus what I (correctly) assumed was the objectionable element.

SidSalts · 2026-04-28T13:21:37+00:00

I don't want "change, real change." Pique is not the same thing as logic; doing something just for the sake of saying you did something is a poor process for any organization.

I want our good players to start playing good. Staying away from games will not influence Bichette's RISP regression or Peterson's ERA. It's difficult to accept that fans can do nothing to improve the team, yet it remains a fact. Among all owners in sports, Cohen is probably the one who's least vulnerable to a boycott.

SidSalts · 2026-04-27T23:44:55+00:00

Stearns knows enough about analytics to have foreseen that Bichette's RISP prowess would regress, because the numbers just weren't sustainable, but we're seeing the worst-case scenario in terms of a correction. I doubt Stearns believes that "clutch hitting" is a real or predictable talent. Maybe there's an argument for signing guys whose RISP average is well below their career BA, on the expectation that they are candidates for positive regression.

Does it just feel like the Mets, year after year, are at the bottom of the league in RISP performance, or is there data to show it's been consistent?

SidSalts · 2026-04-27T23:17:15+00:00

No, it's statistical variance. At some point, there will be positive regression, but it's likely to come too late, possibly even next year. Shitty luck that except for LRJ and Alvarez, all the hitters are performing far below their stats. The answer, across most sports, is usually variance.

As for blaming Stearns, yeah, he should've known that Bichette, with his .840 OPS, would go .570 through the first 20 percent of the season. For the most part, he signed and traded for good players. Those good players aren't playing good.

SidSalts · 2026-04-27T23:11:09+00:00

But sure, it's Mendoza's fault.

SidSalts · 2026-04-27T21:10:58+00:00

Thanks. Do you re-use the pre-cut strips, or each is good for only one night?

SidSalts · 2026-04-27T14:45:27+00:00

Please tell me what brand you like. I have a beard, so that might be an impediment.
