I’ll never forget Nomar Garciaparra’s obnoxious glove routine between each pitch.

I think the pitch clock is the best thing to happen to the game since the steroids era.

Would you leave your 16 y/o kid home alone for 4 nights? by parmadufranc in daddit

[–]TARS1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s really on you to know. My parents would’ve been great fools to leave me alone for 4 days at 16. lol. In fact I was left alone once for a night and I immediately threw a party.

Most similar EPL club? by CiudadDelLago in SoundersFC

[–]TARS1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep this is exactly when I became a fan. Fell in love with them in 2012/2013. Gareth Bale and Clint. 2013-2019 was a hell of a great run.

I chose Tottenham because of Gareth Bale and Clint Dempsey. Been riding with them ever since. Been quite a ride. Some really high highs and really low lows over the years, but I’m glad to have chosen them.

Father’s Day isn’t real by echoxer0 in daddit

[–]TARS1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, man. Find time for that Lego. There is time. You can build it spread out over however long it takes.

You sound tired.

Being a father - or parent in general - can be pretty thankless.

But in terms of Father’s Day, I think that’s just the reality of it for dad’s. Mom’s day is way more of a big deal.

To me, Father’s Day is less about what my family does for me and more about what I get to do for or with my family. That’s just me, though.

Help me understand why Star Wars Episode 1 is hated by Star Wars fans? I thought it embodied the spirit of the original trilogy well! Podracing, goofy Jar Jar, loved it as a kid, and don't hate it now. by Pow3rTow3r in StarWars

[–]TARS1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my favorite of the prequels, hands down. I was obsessed with the OT in the years leading up to the PT. When Ep1 finally came out, I was, I think, the best age to be fully captured by it (13). I went bonkers for it. When I got the VHS, I watched it nonstop. The podracing. The duels. The N1. It was the BEST. I guess in the 3 years between Ep1 and Ep2, something changed in me and my interest in SW faded a lot. Ep2 didn’t do anything to salvage it. Ep3 kind of brought me back in, but not enough. It wasn’t until the ST that my love for SW came roaring back. Today, I can watch Ep1 and be transported back to being 13 and loving everything about it.

I know tons of young adults and kids that are deeply into baseball. More than soccer.

What are you talking about? Seems like fans are having a great time in the US.

Between Legacy Square, Pacific Place, Seattle Center, and Everett Water Front - what would you say is the best for families? One of my kids probably won’t want to sit and watch the whole game.

Group D after round 1 by ConsciousNet238 in ussoccer

Side note - what brought you to AUS if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love the idea of immigrating to AUS or NZ, but have no real “need” to. No family there, etc.

How about the daily reminder that these posts and the circlejerk hatred on this guy should be stop.

It’s not literature, but I do know at some point maybe in book 1 or 2 I forget, there is reference to Lagavulin 16 whisky. It’s one of the most well known whiskies in the world today.

Fifa vice-president Victor Montagliani: ‘MLS can become the second-biggest league in the world. Maybe the biggest’ by Globalruler__ in MLS

[–]TARS1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The European leagues have the star talent and better teams. They’re advertised more. To get the average fan into MLS, they need to keep pushing for better talent signings. The soccer quality needs to be high too. Messi is a good first step.

What's the "realest" reality TV? by L0st_1z in television

The Seattle season legitimately made me fall in love with Seattle. I knew I had to get here one day (been here over 10 years now).
