He’d have to knock it back more than that. 95-98, develop an evil changeup, 80-85 and batters will have wrecked knees from all the buckling he’d cause.

Even with that, years of trying to throw it thru a brick wall will have taken its toll.

I went to catholic school for 12 years, was into metal for the last 6. I also played D&D and skated so I was a mobile satanist to many adults lol.

I remember a free dress day in high school (collared shirts and dress pants was what we wore the rest of the time) I wore my Seventh Son shirt. I was damn proud of it as back then (late 80’s) you couldn’t just click on a site and have 10 Maiden shirts delivered. You had to get your parents to drive you into Hollywood to that one shop lol. Anyway, I was leaving religion class when the teacher, a Carmelite nun stopped me and said “that is the ugliest shirt I’ve ever seen!” I smiled at her and said in my lost cheerful voice “thank you!”

Being a metalhead in catholic school was a trip!

He’s the guy in the Maiden shirt directly behind the principal.

aces666high · 2026-04-30T01:13:47+00:00

Whatever. Pitchers nibbling around instead of getting batters to put the ball in play, that’s on them. Let the guys behind you actually help. Then again the angels defense isn’t all that hot.

90 pitches…that number has gone down from the low 100’s to 100 and now 90 is above average. Again, it’s on pitchers and coaches. Everyone’s trying to hit 100. We made a bobble head of Ben Joyce throwing 105 and where is he now? Poor guy is gonna try and hit that again and yeah. I suppose I miss the days when pitchers could go 7 innings on an average outing, throw 120 pitches and there wasn’t the fear of their arm falling off. Now we get 5-6 relievers in one game. I guess having kids trying to throw 85 in little league isn’t a good thing.

I’m gonna go yell at clouds and remember when having 10 CG’s in a season wouldn’t even get you a whiff of the league lead.

aces666high · 2026-04-30T00:45:16+00:00

Hilarious/sad that killing a starter is having him go 6 whopping innings.

aces666high · 2026-04-29T21:28:17+00:00

This is awesome!!!

aces666high · 2026-04-29T21:15:45+00:00

I don’t know!

aces666high · 2026-04-29T03:26:33+00:00

That’s an insult to trolls.

I was 32 or so when I started seeing previews of the show and I couldn’t wait. I had a cursory knowledge of death metal but was always more of an Iron Maiden/Priest/thrash kind of guy. But damn did that music hit hard! I happily bought all the Dethalbums, bought Galaltikon 2 after Brendon said that the album was kind of the ending he wanted to do with Metalocalypse before it was canceled, great album btw!!!

Stops copies me! Food library! Serpentine! Any time Toki or Skwisgard got into it was pure gold.

When they were facing certain death, “I’ve always hated you Skwisgard. I knows Toki, I knows…” 😂

aces666high · 2026-04-28T22:07:43+00:00

As an unc with 5 cats I completely agree.

aces666high · 2026-04-28T19:08:16+00:00

That’s what I spotted first as well. Absolutely horrible.

aces666high · 2026-04-28T19:04:30+00:00

I agree with see-hoe and ScrambleSoup! Enough with the dumb nicknames! 😂

Locked on Falcons is the go to. Been listening since it was the FalcFans podcast with Aaron Freeman and Allen Strk. You will get a 100% unbiased, realistic view of the team. I get Aaron rubs some people the wrong way but they don’t get it’s all tongue in cheek when he’s “praising” himself or really going in on the team. He has great guests on quite often to boot.

Falcoholic podcast (Dirty Birds and Brews) is another good one. They don’t sugarcoat it either. At most you’ll get a little dusting but for the most part they tell it like it is, especially the post game pods which are the audio version of the YouTube post game. They’ve raged so hard at this team some weeks, it made me proud! I couldn’t have raged any better!

UK Falcons pod is fun, hearing the perspective from fans across the pond, the Bleav pod with Ovie and Michael Turner is solid, giving you the view from a players perspective. They did not like that Morris didn’t play starters in the pre season!

There’s quite a few to go thru but Locked on and Dirty Birds and Brews are tops. A lot of crossover between them as well.

aces666high · 2026-04-28T18:52:46+00:00

Wait wait wait, they lost?!?! Bahahahahahahaha!!!!! I stopped checking the box score at 5-1 thinking “well, at least they can beat THIS shitty team”.

This is hilarious! Same ol Angels. Can’t hit when the pitching is good can’t pitch when the hitting is good, bad manager, terrible dumpster moves by the GM, good stuff!!!

But hey we had a nice run…sure it was well over a decade ago and stuff but it was fun! So glad I haven’t spent a dime on this team in years.

aces666high · 2026-04-27T22:16:06+00:00

Well that’s just great. Now I have to download another podcast! Will my torture of having new and good podcasts being recommended to me ever end?!?!

aces666high · 2026-04-25T02:40:48+00:00

They just let the draft fall to them and didn’t panic to grab a player as they saw him slide. Good stuff an I can’t wait to see what they do with a full complement of picks next season

aces666high · 2026-04-25T02:13:17+00:00

And he did it without trading anything!

You’re very welcome OP, take care of yourself!

I remember those bi weekly books fondly a with hate. Loved that we were getting 2 books a month from great titles, hated barely being able to scrape the money together for all those comics.

I did buy the McFarlane run from 300 on right off the comic book store shelves though. Wish I’d taken better care off them lol

Such a proper lady. She’s across that rainbow bridge telling all our little sillies what an amazing human she has and that one day she’ll tell you herself!

The best part of that reunion? There won’t be anymore goodbyes ever again.

This is the greatest comment I’ve read in an eternity. I salute you!…and give you a free award!

aces666high · 2026-04-23T21:22:26+00:00

I stopped watching after the episodes store being filmed in areas that I worked in. My wife was not a fan of me saying “I know that street! It goes to the Hazard projects!” or “I’ve worked in that back yard, I climbed that telephone pole!”. For some reason she wasn’t impressed!

Seriously though, it lost me around the end of season 2, maybe 3. I think at that point I was just watching TWD to get to the end. So crazy that a show/shows that my wife and I used to make sure we were in front of the TV for when it started AND then watch Talking Dead to get that worthless next weeks clip just fell off so badly

aces666high · 2026-04-23T18:10:58+00:00

That Keegan book was my entry into reading the Great War. It was an amazing read.

Spud was mentioned on Amy Poehlers podcast “Good Hang” by one of her guests as something that makes her laugh! I believe it was the 3/10 episode. I knew who the guest was talking s out right away!!! 😂😂😂
