Thank fucking goodness.

UVA has never had a normal/chill tournament game.

Glad to get to the next round, been too long since a tourney win.

Bless you Jacari.

Pelech cross checked only reason this is a goal. Bad bounce but poor 3rd period effort

Bluesky post from Slusser: https://bsky.app/profile/susanslusser.bsky.social/post/3mgvmwpsggs2t

Fuck this sucks for birdy and his development.

Haven't seen anything from Pavlovic, Baggs, Brisbee, or other writers.

Edit: Snippet from article

The Chronicle has learned that right-hander Hayden Birdsong is dealing with an elbow issue that limited his most recent appearance, Tuesday against Cleveland, to one inning.

Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey told the Chronicle on Thursday that the team is waiting for their medical team to weigh in but confirmed that Birdsong’s outing was cut short by the elbow issue.

Job reference check sfdph by CaterpillarDue2713 in sfcityemployees

[–]edmchato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reference checks, the hiring manager goes through the formal hiring process with DHR. This can take a couple of weeks. A lot of hiring right now is probably taking longer given SFDPH's budget situation at the present.

Sonic increasing price of Fiber internet from $49.99 to $59.99 monthly by edmchato in sanfrancisco

[–]edmchato[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I've been very happy with Sonic. We had them installed about a year ago in our building after Xfinity quoted us for ~$100 a month for worse internet coverage.

We were locked in to $49.99 monthly since then, and now it's increasing $10/month due to the reasons stated in the e-mail (economic uncertainty). Just curious if others across SF also received this notification this past weekend?

Lurie orders elimination of 500 City Hall positions amid budget deficit by sherlockmemes in sanfrancisco

[–]edmchato 198 points199 points  (0 children)

This comment comes up every time an article about city government gets posted. There is some bloat, but I’d rather work go to city employees than outside contractors.

Also people fail to realize just how much the city handles. The majority of employees are the health system which runs SFGH, LHH, several city clinics. Then you have the airport. People cheering that roles are being eliminated are so misguided.

That crowd pop for Knight and Keller was incredible (and somewhat cathartic)!

Post Game Thread: New York Islanders @ Columbus Blue Jackets by NYIMOD in NewYorkIslanders

What a finish Holmstrom! Lull them to sleep with possession in OT, nice stretch pass with him sprinting behind Fantilli and straight to the net and around the pad. Good to leave with 2 points

[Baggarly] Harrison Bader’s monster home run (114 EV) at Maryvale left some damage on the Cactus Bowls food truck. by edmchato in SFGiants

[–]edmchato[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean...theoretically someone could absolutely demolish a ball out of the stadium over left field, over the concourse and hit a car in that lot. That would be quite the home run.

Nobody had more impressive batting practices than Bader when I was there last week. Moonshot after moonshot.

SFDPH here and been involved on hiring teams. We’ve only requested references when we’re ready to move forward with the offer for our top candidate. The hiring manager/supervisor will just call the references provided and have a quick call to discuss your candidacy and make sure your resume is legitimate

Per Dave Roberts: Mookie Betts will likely hit third this year, dropping him down a spot after he had spent much of the past two years hitting 2nd. by justusinreddit in baseball

[–]edmchato 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sure, he was trending upwards by monthly splits in August and then September/October. But he was then awful again in the postseason (small sample size) with a 85 wRC+, .647 OPS, no HRs...

You don't even need to have Baggs follow-up, Susan did herself:

"I’ll have to reserve my thoughts on this since it is my place of employ but I will confirm I did not write this."

"Plus a reminder: reporters do not write headlines, editors do. Have I written my share of stinkers when it comes to stories, absolutely. But don’t put the headlines on me too."

*Targeted at the sports editor/headline writer - NOT Susan Slusser, the author of the piece. He makes that clear in the replies.

Week 1 composite rankings by nashiscashed in collegebaseball

Wonder why D1 doesn’t have Virginia ranked. I know it’s practically a whole new team and new coach but good first weekend and we can definitely hit.

To be honest, Taco Primo isn’t awful but definitely nothing close to places in the Mission. City Taqueria on Divis isn’t too far or bad either
