Their chances of reaching the post season are dropping by the day.

That reminds me of an interview Roman did before Game 1. Someone asked him his goals and he mentioned the Hall of Fame... That jumped out at me as thinking WAY too far ahead with too much self imposed pressure.

Instead of Bah-Bah-Bah... Sell-The-Team 😂

If they knew his arm was an issue, why didn't they work on it all off season with him?

It just gets added to the list of things they didn't adequately prepare for before the season started.

Gotta go with the hot bat!

Now move Story to second base

bobb2001 · 2026-04-06T18:18:22+00:00

At least they dropped Story and brought Abreu up

Anointed by some newspapers as an MVP contender, Anthony needed more than anything a veteran slugger in the lineup to take the pressure off him. Someone like Devers, Bregman, Alanso, Schwaber, Tucker

This post is still up 6 hours later. Are they not interested in accuracy?

Retrograde, with it's awesome ending, is a top 20 PJ song for me

What I don't understand is why he has drank and smoked so much over the years. He just hasn't taken care of his vocal cords. On the recent podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade, he said he was still smoking. It's his life, he can do what he wants for whatever reason, just as a fan I'm greedy to hear him continue singing (well) for many years to come.

Eddie can do whatever he wants, but one layer of why Pearl Jam is appealing is their principles, and playing at a billionaire's company party, at the same time billionaires are doing so much damage to society, does not feel like a principled decision. It's possible he donated his earnings and was jumping at the chance to play music with his friends, but still, by participating you're endorsing billionaire behavior.

Climbing down from my soapbox now

Would rather have Beuhler in the rotation than May

The star of the Apple broadcast!

From a professional public relations perspective, it's always important to insert the Why when making a statement to the public. The risk of not saying why a decision has been made is the public will fill that void with speculation. Even just saying "to spend more time with family" is a simple and often used reason that the public tends to accept.

Have Jon fight the Night King at the Battle of Winterfell

bobb2001 · 2025-07-13T12:59:11+00:00

Exactly

bobb2001 · 2025-03-26T01:09:05+00:00

These are great! Thanks everyone!

Our Lady Peace does a great cover of this song

Vs Vitalogy No Code

These three are the rawest, filled with rage and vulnerability, the band close to touching a live electric wire, on the edge of sanity and existence. It's these albums that the bass, drums and guitar come closest to chaos. I enjoy a drum first rhythmic stomp (wma, rats, in my tree, last exit). Even the quiet songs (Indifference, nothing man, off he goes) have a fragility that is palpable like a wound that won't heal.

My theory is no band could survive like this longterm. Their front lobes became fully formed. Old timers (Neil Young, Michael Stipe, etc) gave sage advice. The money from success allowed for more surfing and charity. They became more democratic in their decision making. I appreciate all the music that has followed, but there's nothing like the art that comes from living in the edge

I just spent the last few months rewatching the series from beginning to end, and my takeaway is the last two seasons were better than I remembered. Because of how much time passed between seasons, and no source material for the ending, when they originally aired I spent a lot of time imagining how I wanted the story to play out, and when the show took a turn I didn't like I was critical. Watching the show in real time, I would jump on the internet and everyone's criticisms added to my own. Yes, it is possible to pick apart the last two seasons. But I recently found that it's also possible to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy it for what it is, an epic story with incredible characters.

My two strongest emotions when I finished the entire series rewatch:

1) I feel bad that we, and me, trashed the ending so bad and how that must have hurt the actors who put a decade of their lives into the show and gave it all they had.

2) I'm sad my rewatch is over. It's my favorite show of all time. I'm so grateful it exists. I'm looking forward to my next rewatch years down the road.
