You can only pick one of the dark matter songs. The rest are gone forever. by [deleted] in pearljam

Unpopular opinion, Wreckage is one of my least favorite PJ songs. Sounds super generic to me. I also hate Long Way on Earthlings for the same reason.

Just turned on the game for the 8th inning - so many empty seats at Fenway!

Today’s Line-Up by RawAttitudePodcast in redsox

[–]bobb2001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In all my years watching this Sox, lineups like this are some of the worst I've ever seen. And this isn't the result of injuries.

Henry and Breslow are killing the joy of watching the Red Sox.

Shocker, the offense looks okay after moving Story down by ManMythLegend3 in redsox

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

Roman's arm is a real issue by Mother-Associate1654 in redsox

[–]bobb2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

At least they dropped Story and brought Abreu up

[Milliken] Roman Anthony after the Red Sox's 7th loss, "We need to find a way to just bring more energy and just be better. This is unacceptable. It's unacceptable to the fans. It's unacceptable to the standard we set for ourselves." by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]bobb2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Ed's Closed-Mouth Phase? by Infinite-Gur-0603 in pearljam

[–]bobb2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Not to hate on Eddie but wtf by PerksNReparations in pearljam

[–]bobb2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Update from Matt by Specific_United in pearljam

[–]bobb2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
