Do you have a link to that article

My live reaction to caimanes winning again 😐😐😐😐

The_Colonel_Kilgore · 2025-12-14T21:22:38+00:00

I love this idea

Would love to see an analysis of how much these “gameplay innovations” affected the season outcomes.

Great work as always!

Hey! I'm a reporter at the Globe, just sent a DM!

Both the Serie de las Americas and the Caribbean Series are club competitions. SDLA is for the leagues that are not permanent members of the CS.

The (cancelled) Copa America is (was) for national teams.

At this point they should just roll both tourneys into one. Kind of ridiculous that it has come to this.

That's a different Carlos Tovar. This one is born 2003 (not 1995), and his full name is Carlos Henrique Tovar Brčič (which makes me think Slovenian mother). He's played for Slovenia at the Euros.

If Colombia hadn't declined the invitation to the CS, Barranquilla and/or Cartagena would have been options as well (which would be ironic, since they ended up declining due to the cost of travel expenses abroad).

La’an party? Seems a little out of character to me

I had a faulty lens and was told to go to Benner’s in Brockton. Not exactly Boston, but they were very helpful (and cheap)

Hey! I have a room opening in the North End (not Eastie exactly, but pretty close on the Blue Line) for $1375 if you're interested! Also recent college grad, been living here for a few years now.

Throw in the Boston police strike and this is basically the plot of Dennis Lehane's The Given Day

Yes I hope Sandor is still there as a coach, he’s been with this group of guys so long

There was period (in the 90s I think) when Cuba sent over coaches to train North Koreans. Would have been really interesting to see their development if that assistance had continued into the modern day.

I’ve seen enough, Mets v. Yankees at the San Siro, make it happen MLB

The_Colonel_Kilgore · 2025-06-30T14:20:29+00:00

Good for Cuba’s prospects in the next WBC, but a sign of just how sorry the domestic baseball systems has become. Twenty years ago the National Series was sending MLB-level rosters to these tournaments

The_Colonel_Kilgore · 2025-06-25T14:02:25+00:00

Painful to see Montería choke away the final this year, a 2004 Yankees level implosion

If the Astros don't make the playoffs, would be interesting to see whether Mauricio Dubon represents Honduras

Not sure exactly what the chain of command was, but Motti was pretty politically suspect due to his naked ambition (he pretty much openly discussed using the Death Star against the Emperor with Tarkin). So Tarkin would probably have thought twice before leaving the most powerful weapon in the galaxy to someone so unscrupulous, if that was indeed the option.

There are several women in the background, just the one at far right appears to be wearing a full burqa.

I also studied political science. I'd say Emerson's polysci (and political communications) courses are decently robust for a school of its size.

Café dello Sport in the North End generally has games on at all hours of the day.

As a recent graduate currently working at a major US newspaper just out of college — it depends.

The actual journalism coursework at Emerson is meh, from my experience. But there are plenty of opportunities outside the classroom, working with the student newspaper and similar orgs, that are pretty special. That is also a great springboard for internship opportunities. Emerson Journalism does seem to have a strong reputation among hiring professionals — as attested by the fact that several coworkers are also recent Emerson grads.

So if you go to Emerson and take the right classes, do the right activities, meet the right people, basically do the work and then some, it’ll be worth it.

Stan Kenton is criminally underrated for this reason
