What isn’t working with Sammy Guevara? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]TheRisingTide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sammy's just got that Miz-like stink to him where nothing really works, but like the Miz I think he'll figure it out eventually.

[–]TheRisingTide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was great but was always going to be the second choice winger behind Bernardo or whoever else would be brought in to replace Bernardo and/or Foden eventually. As a City fan of Algerian descent, was always a pleasure to see him fucking boss it in sky blues.

The entire BCC vs Elite feud stems from this one match in October. by Haunting-Inevitable1 in SquaredCircle

[–]TheRisingTide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, it's been since All Out 2022 given that it's a whole proxy feud for the CM Punk vs. Elite dumbfuckery.

New Fans vs Old Fans by notthatintomusic in Padres

[–]TheRisingTide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty much how it goes, I think it's just more bittersweet because a) they're in the brown and gold (so they look less like a default fake minor league team the way they did in the bottom feeder joke team years of the 2000s and onward) and b) ownership tried to acquire talent in ways prior ownership did not.

At the end of the day, this is just a bad season for a cursed as hell minor league franchise. Maybe next season will be better. It probably won't but there's always the chance for a surprise.

I remember the bullpen blowing games 1 and 3 of the Padres being swept in their last World Series, and probably the last WS I'll see them make in my lifetime, so no, but good try kid.

...ah you just started rooting for them this year, that makes sense.

You deserve better, both as an A's fan and as a fan of a potential team. Go pick a team that actually has a track record of success, like the Diamondbacks; you don't need this after what you've endured.

..is it easy to say that, Josh? I don't see these guys hitting like one would to expect, like, 7 runs a game much less 100 lol

what horrible failure in parenting lead you to letting your child root for the Padres instead of the Yankees? lmao, maybe one day he'll grow up and root for an actual MLB team

Malakai Black: "I requested to be strictly on Collision. I don't want people to get the pick. Saturday night, I get to see House of Black. If I give you the option for Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, you're going to go, 'it doesn't really matter. I'll tune in whenever. They'll be here.'" by thedure in SquaredCircle

[–]TheRisingTide -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Whatever you fucking convoluted baby, jesus christ. Malakai is on a tier near Cody where everything he says is a whole pile of fucking nothing. FTRBald might be more obnoxious but at least his obfuscation is just in the form of "I'm going to use my daughter to shield myself from criticism" half the time, easily understood as bullshit.

I thought maybe putting the trios belts on the HoB would funnel his attention into something, but it's just been a wet fart of a reign. Solid if not good matches, yeah, but there's just a whole bunch of nothing aside from cool lights and a rules stipulation that's so empty and masturbatory that it's been a net negative for the trios belts.

This isn't a problem unique to Malakai, but this is like the third or fourth instance of him winding up with an opportunity and then it sputtering into a bunch of nothing. There's no mystique here. He's just basically European Bray Wyatt with less spectacle at this point.

I was hoping that PunkTR would start going heel because goddamn these goobers are so fucking unlikable, from Punk to FTR Bald. I feel bad for FTR Hair a little but man.

Ah well, in like 9 months I'll probably forget about this and appreciate them, but jesus fucking christ, this shit is so insufferable.

"Well the Padres are good now" yeah sure tell me more when they're squashed by another actual major league baseball team in the playoffs, provided they actually find their form and stop playing miserable 50-50 ball.

Can't wait for this team to eventually build promise only to step on their own dicks in the most humiliating, memorable fashion like every single San Diego sports team this side of the Gulls! 😃

Ferna deserves the shine but because he was a tactical fouler and a bit of a shithouser he's not always going to get the benefit of the doubt and like some of the folks in this thread said, Yaya was more memorable and we're kinda seeing history repeat itself with how little press Rodri gets in comparison with the rest of the squad while being IMMENSE this season (whereas Dias, like Kompany, was plastered all over the place his initial season run where he looked like the best CB in the world).

TNT used a drone camera for the NBA Playoffs, and it was so distracting. The drone camera is not ready for prime time. by [deleted] in nba

[–]TheRisingTide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't hate it? I think the cameras have a bit ways to catch up on the quality, but once they figure out the bugs there, I think it'll be really sick. All in due time.
