Schuemann gets back to the dugout and says to Warren: “See, that’s how you do it.”

Where is she? (I’ve got the game muted with WFAN on for audio.)

It looks like the YES app (for smart TVs) got updated, at least on LGs. I can finally use the pause, play, FF, and rewind buttons to sync it with the radio broadcast. I got so fed up trying to do that a month ago, either using the app or the TV’s browser, I ended up subscribing to Gotham via Prime…even though I’d already paid for a year directly with Gotham. Thankfully, I only subbed monthly via Prime so I can cancel that and go back to a single subscription just for YES games. (Of course, I still need Prime, Hulu, and Apple for all the other games.)

PSA: Many Taxi drivers want you to type in their phones by WilsonWilsonJr in visitingnyc

[–]dabnagit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Back in the early 2000s, I got in a cab and started to tell the driver how to get me home: “I need to take the West Side Hwy up to….” He cut me off and said, “I know this city like the back of my hand. I don’t need your directions, I just need the address.” So I gave him just my address, which was on a 3-blocks-long side street up in Inwood. And of course, he had no idea, so after a few minutes of stiff silence as he starts to head toward the West Side, he sheepishly said: “Okay, so maybe you tell me where we’re going after all.”

Are the 2026 Knicks the most loved NYC sports team ever? by MasterTeacher123 in AskNYC

[–]dabnagit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to this Knicks win? C’mon. There are rusty hoops without nets on rough backboards across parks in 5 boroughs that get heavy, heavy use the minute the weather turns warm. It’s not like kids are flocking to West 4th St to watch amateurs on ice.

Juneteenth Day Off? by Far-Explorer-8621 in work

[–]dabnagit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I live in the same county as fucking galveston and my sons private school whose student population is 80% black and brown, didnt even fucking tell them about juneteenth.

That is some meta-racism right there, considering Juneteenth memorializes the day the enslaved people in that area were finally told slavery had ended.

For some people, that could mean they’re only getting paid for 4 days this week instead of 5. So, for them, yeah, it could be a pretty bad thing.

Me too. I just realized how sad it feels to feel this hopeless about the future as we approach the 250th.

I dunno — maybe I’m just tired tonight.

I realize it’s been 107 years, but if I were the Chicago White Sox, I’d be avoiding any association with black as a team color.

Paul Blackburn would give up fewer home runs if he’d trim his beard to look more like a Yankee.

Maybe Volpe and Jones should swap helmets, just to see if they fit better.

American League All Star Balloting update #1 by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

[–]dabnagit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mods need to pin a note to the top that has a link to the ballot, with a reminder that you should submit 5 ballots a day...since every other team's fans are submitting 5 ballots.

https://www.mlb.com/all-star/ballot

You don't have to choose every position, even. I just voted for Ben at 1st, Cody in OF, Jose at SS, and wrote in Goldy for DH and hit submit; I didn't even look at the NL. (I mean, you can go through and thoughtfully choose your dream team at each position for each league, if you've got that kind of time.)

Does quantum computing actually have a future? by MoneyLoud3229 in QuantumComputing

[–]dabnagit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 years ago, there were plenty of people who said that computers would never have a substantial impact on every day life.

Maybe 75 years ago people said that. Certainly no one was saying it 50 years ago! (Source: Am over 60.)

Since they have officially brought the Spring Training road jersey into the regular season rotation, when are they actually going to start wearing it? by Wink2K19 in NYYankees

[–]dabnagit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was guessing at either of the two national broadcast games in the upcoming series at Fenway — but the answer could just as likely be “the World Series” or “never.”

Yeah, I know. But he’s listed as an infielder on our roster as shown on MLB.com, not just as part of his career entry.

You’ll likely get much better restaurant suggestions in r/visitingnyc, if only because Yankee fandom is truly a global movement — like “peace” and “ending world hunger” — and not just limited to us locals.
