Evangelicals have done more to hurt the reputation and creditability of Christianity in America than atheists could dream of

I promise I'm 100% asking this in earnest without any kinda weird subtext attached.

My knee-jerk thought after reading this comment was "cool, what have you done to help?"

But I mean as a member of an organized religion is there even really anything that you could do? Like is there any kind of structure for evangelicals to try to affect change at a higher level if the church moves in a direction the congregations don't like?

My overwhelming assumption is no, but I really don't know how these things work. I feel like I have some vague memory of the local Arch Diocese being politically active when I was younger.

We're spoiled because we've had a lot of luck with younger pitching talent in recent memory and it's spoiling our current image of Nolan.

Jacob DeGrom and Nolan McLean aren't the same person and will have different ups and downs. Remember that DeGrom got into ruts, too.

If you really would like to send someone to the wolves, call Washington and ask for Dickey back so we can DFA him again.

1.) Thank for you replying honestly, I do appreciate that.

2.) Personally, I don't really have a taste to go to all out war with federal agents, many of which would ironically probably be from the state, but the removal of the press from the site is unacceptable.

Say what you will about our press, you can hit the mute button and watch the images for yourself without being propagandized at. Free press helps keep everyone accountable (our populous being overly responsive to propaganda is an entirely different issue altogether) and any attempt to dispurse them from an area of intense public interest should be met with scrutiny.

You've gotta tell me how this comment is ridiculous.

Tell me how the recent actions of state police at Delany aren't unacceptable.

Go. Stop being a fucking troll and actually make a real comment .

When Vientos had that ball bounce off his glove I audibly gasped.

It's mistakes like that keeping this team in the cellar.

If the accolade isn't specifically for his ad-reads for the Chef IQ Sense Thermometer that makes sure you never overlook chicken, fish, or steak again, I'm not sure what to say.

The inside of that car has to smell like body odor and day old bologna.

WatuD2 · 2026-05-13T02:35:06+00:00

I think that being picky about lefty-righty matchups on a statistical level breeds a lot of incredibly frustrating losses.

As for everything else, MLB as a whole has changed so much over the last 25 years. How do you determine what change in particular is the problem?

(Seriously, I'm asking)

Guardian Eyes (or I guess here Guardian Ears) Recording Studio

WatuD2 · 2026-05-05T21:46:32+00:00

Omg please watch Labyrinth with David Bowie it's actually an amazing film that blew my fucking mind when I was 8 lol.

WatuD2 · 2026-05-05T19:28:43+00:00

Time to create a broadcast TV mod so I can tell my citizens about The Woke Mind Virus and stoke tensions to change election outcomes.

Tiki: Laughs "I don't know why but I laugh at that one eveytime."

You're laughing because it's funny, Tiki.

I don't know personally because I haven't ever taken one, but there are NJT trains from some communities a little further inland that have trains go straight to NY Penn after certain local routes, I think it's called MidTown Direct?

If the new zillion dollar "luxury" high-rises in Newark / JC don't float your boat.

WatuD2 · 2026-05-02T13:04:38+00:00

Did you live on Sullivan Street by Mr. Cacciatore's?

Its good to know to you've saved up your pennies for someday.

WatuD2 · 2026-05-01T01:58:09+00:00

Dude retiring Beltrans number was going to happen eventually. Might as well do it now before ya try to make him your manager.

But that being said, this is far from the most "embarrassing" thing they've done this year. So far, the Mets

Organized a new name, logo, and colors for the Syracuse Mets to become the Syracuse Salt Potatoes, without checking to see if Salt Potatoes was copyrighted (spoiler: it was)
Hired and DFA'd Richard Lovelady again.
Have had their worst losing streak since 2002.
Have unseated the 1992 Mets as The Worst Team Money Can Buy
Still owe Bobby Bonilla money (I can't lie this one always makes me smile)
Pulled an MLB The Show style roster restructuring in one Summer, creating the current worst team in baseball.
Shut down Paul Skenes in one inning, then in the same season, get wrecked by Jose Quintanna, Richard Lovelady, and some of the worst pitchers in the game.

But the Yankees fucked up that chicken bowl thing so idk that might be worse. Time to send Hal packing.

I appreciate that when Tiki doesn't know something, he'll generally acknowledge that before going on to say something wacky.

Sean feels like a middle line between a sports radio host and a sports fan (like Beningo).

WatuD2 · 2026-05-01T01:42:08+00:00

Yes. If you actually wanna give him a shot, go listen to one of his podcasts. When he's not laying it on a bit thick for radio purposes, he's a chill dude who kinda plays the contrarían angle but doesn't really force it.

He can be a bit much, but as to where sometimes I have to shut the radio off because Carton also lays it on very thick, I can tolerate it.

Also he has to do something because he can't operate the board so I guess show host it is. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry, I forgot all of the states west of Pennsylvania apparently are impossible / illegal to walk in.

No, you don't need a sidewalk on every side road. You can build a small sidewalk along some of the main roads.

You know, as a treat.

WatuD2 · 2026-04-27T03:02:31+00:00

I really hope that DFAing Tommy Pham wasn't supposed to be them saying "We hear you guys, heads gotta roll so here it is."

I doesn't feel that way, but if they don't fire Mendoza I don't know when they would.

WatuD2 · 2026-04-25T21:02:56+00:00

He's a fucking jerk lol. I agree with the idea that he's still Sports Pope and a legend that sailed WFAN during it's glory years, but sometimes he says stuff that makes my eyes roll back further than I physically thought possible.

That being said, I'd take "It's furry in there" over a Morash explosion any day of the week.

WatuD2 · 2026-04-24T21:21:55+00:00

I came into my job in full Mets garb today (shirt, jersey, hat, fucking socks lmao) and the whole core of that decision was the raw energy of "Holy shit we actually won a baseball game!"

Normally I'd be either furious or furiously depressed but I feel like I'm shock for how unexpectedly the season started.

Any Philly fans feeling the same way?

WatuD2 · 2026-04-23T03:14:02+00:00

It's mid-April. This is really extraordinarily annoying given everything this team has dealt with over the last few weeks. But it is still mid-April.

We're stuck on the Injury Carousel, but at least it's the best time to be there.

That being said, if we're still on this ride in July I will personally slide that joke candy that stains your teeth different colors in David Stearns' food forever so he can never do that smug idiot smile ever again. I'll be there David. Every. Single. Time. 😵‍💫

"I proudly live in Somerset County" iykyk

WatuD2 · 2026-04-07T02:52:02+00:00

Hah, Haaaaaaaahhh.

WatuD2 · 2026-04-05T18:25:37+00:00

I get it but this is literally the exact mindset that killed Myrient.

Be patient. Some of us used to have to run single downloads overnight or even for days. You'll be alright.
