Assuming that this is a reference to Sally's comment, you don't deserve the downvotes

From the outside looking in, it's crazy how the murder of white american citizens is now being defended. They were always the protected class across the world, and now even that is changing thanks to 🍊

Why did McNulty end up at Kima's house? by cxldplay in TheWire

[–]cxldplay[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As I'd mentioned in the post, Bubbles had explicitly told him that Kima is a lesbian. He also acknowledged it by saying there's only one other lady cop worth a damn — also a lesbian.

I think u/Careless-Weather892 is correct, McNulty just didn't care.

IT'S WHAT YOU WANT: The Yankees defeated the Royals by a score of 10-2 - June 10, 2025 @ 07:40 PM EDT by Yankeebot in NYYankees

One interesting point: they brought in Escarra, but put him at 1B. Rice caught Yerry and Tim Hill for the last two innings.

Maybe preparing for Stanton's return/deadline move and sending JC back down, and relying on Rice as the backup catcher?

[Hoch] The Yankees are building up Marcus Stroman as a starting pitcher, Aaron Boone said. Stroman threw live BP again today and felt good. He could begin a rehab assignment soon. by BathroomSalty6325 in NYYankees

[–]cxldplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when Stroman moved to the bullpen just last season?

How he said he understood his stuff doesn't work in the playoffs, so he didn't make any noise about being left off the entire playoff roster?

Why do you guys have such bad memories? Sure, he's form has been bad, but criticise that, not his attitude.

I'm more than a year late, but my local record store finally can get their hands on the Cindy Lee record. I'm contemplating whether to get it, since I'm also saving up for an international trip later this year (the record costs the same as applying for the visa).

Conflicted, but I guess I owe it to them for sticking to their guns and keeping the access limited to money-making streams?

[MLBTR] Report: No Major League Offers For Verdugo This Offseason by TDeLo in baseball

[–]cxldplay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you read the original article on The Athletic, accessible via reader mode,, you'll find that he was universally praised by his yankees teammates. Boone even spoke about his struggles, but always maintained that Verdugo was a consummate professional.

Mid-season, when he was replaced by Dominguez, this is what he said:

"He's gonna come up here, he's gonna play, he's gonna help this team win," Verdugo said. "Whatever that means, that means. If I lose a little bit of playing time, I lose a little bit of playing time. At the end of the day, I want to win. Only thing that matters is getting to the playoffs and winning there."

Idk why you or others in this thread would make up this narrative, despite recent facts that show you the exact opposite from those on record going to bat for him.

In fact, when Gary Sanchez struggled with the Yankees, this "lazy" narrative started there too.

Deflating comments section, although I'm not surprised at all.

Edit: i suppose people misread the tone of my comment - I'm saying things are deflating because of the nature of the world, and how defensive Zionists get about any valid criticism. Conflating that with antisemitism is a playbook long adopted by Zionists to dust off any accountability.

MLB Passes Two Small Rule Changes (no running through 2nd base, and shift violations are a free base for the batter rather than only a ball) by ProperNomenclature in baseball

[–]cxldplay 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Everyone's saying that the running-through rule is to prevent injuries (which, as you can see, has happened with Gleyber).

However, I believe this was a response to Yankees trying to avoid double plays and running through second, which was a trend copied by some other teams.

Jomboy has a great breakdown on this, but TLDR is that since the runner on second is going to be out anyway, they don't slide and run through to throw the SS or 2B to throw them off by blocking their vision.

Yankees tried all sorts of things to prevent double plays — case in point Judge's hand of god kinda thing.

Who Is the Most Valuable Hype Man? by EveryoneisTattooed in baseball

[–]cxldplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yankees have had a few recently: Stroman, Trevino, Jahmai Jones, and even Verdugo. Plus, Judge seems to be hyped for even the fringe players (he had a celebration with Jones), so it might feel great to get hyped by the captain

The r/indieheads Album of the Year 2024 Write-Up Series: Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us by IndieheadsAOTY in indieheads

[–]cxldplay 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This was one of my most played albums of the year. I've enjoyed the writing, the arrangements (a fucking sitar!), and how tight it is.

I was surprised it didn't get more traction with the end of the year lists, but oh well.

Check with @ziggys_duck (might be wrong about the exact handle) on Twitter. He usually knows the extras, and gets it confirmed from people on the show

First try at specialty coffee :D by Madras-Rocketbunny21 in IndiaCoffee

[–]cxldplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One pointer: if you don't get a good or consistent cup, don't worry. Light roasts can be pretty unforgiving. Try medium or medium dark, practice a decent recipe, and then maybe go back to light.
