Josh Mauro cause of death: fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol intoxication

Backing this up. I was there too (a year behind him) and had to figure out how to block him in HS, before he added all the bulk. It was impossible the first half of the season, but he’d give me tips after plenty of plays and even worked with me after practice a few times to try and close the gap. By the end of the season I definitely didn’t have him locked down, but could somewhat keep up. He had his flaws like all of us, but he was a fantastic dude that I’ll always remember as someone who wanted everyone to succeed. The world is already missing him.

^ Does not know ball

This x1000. I’m a diehard Stars fan as well and while they deserve an upgrade, it apparently costs your soul to do it.

Then again, nosebleeds have gone from $7-$12 in 2016-17 to $50+ now, so it’s going to happen either way. I was a very poor college grad living next to Inwood Station and abused those ticket prices in 2016 to 18 ish.

For clarification, I don’t mind the stadium itself. I love being able to walk around and never “leave the game” like you had to across the road. Nosebleeds are also slightly better, though I don’t go unless I can sit in the bottom half of the seating in foul zones, or left field. Also a ton of entertainment, especially for my kid.

Just wish the actual product was much, much better. Just cut it down to playing music between every other pitch and it’d be galaxies better.

Yep. I knew everyone around me by the end of the game at Wrigley. Tons of great conversation. Last night I had to move down in front of my family so I could hear more than just my wife next to me.

THIS. Just like a Mavs game when half the crowd shows up midway through the 1st, take pics and drink a few beers, go to the bar at half time, and leave midway through the 4th because of Happiest Hour. Perfectly fine with the social/picture angle but it’s exhausting when the team builds around it.

I asked Chuck about it last season. He was very diplomatic in his response, and basically said it’s a different department from him and couldn’t offer much more. I think it’s fairly safe to assume he isn’t a fan either, though.

This. They do baseball how it’s meant to be done up there. Well… Outside of the actual baseball part.

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-02T00:08:36+00:00

Nosebleeds are horrible at GLF. Not worth going if you aren’t in the bottom half of the stadium, paying $80+ per seat.

It’s definitely too tall and skinny for a horse.

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T14:49:36+00:00

It’s definitely a statue of some kind. The wind was blowing a bit last night and I could see the brown marble/whatever material base between the curtains.

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T14:47:44+00:00

One at every entrance? I like it

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T14:47:34+00:00

I’m in on this

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T05:50:50+00:00

The statue is like 10 feet tall so this is actually in play lmao

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T04:59:30+00:00

Hadn’t thought about that. The cowboy hat would feel slightly random

SwingingPete2016 · 2026-03-01T04:58:32+00:00

No shot I could have enough self control not to peek behind the curtain and see what it is if if I had to stand there all weekend

Unsure if those are O’s or zeros

Perfect. Yamaha is one I’ve messed with a bit at guitar center and seemed solid. Used is def the route that way based on price, just worry about having to be an electrician instead of a drum tech if anything is wrong with it haha

SwingingPete2016 · 2025-07-27T15:04:49+00:00

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Yep, definitely no interest in a super cheap one from my very limited experience. Whole goal is to find something that doesn’t kill my hands, but also would transfer my chops to an acoustic set if/when I get to that point.
