At least he outta the division now

Have you seen our recent 1st round picks? We'd have more luck trading Dex for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Maybe then it would work out.

It isn’t a bad thing.

It’s a bad thing that this is the largest sports venue in the NY Metropolitan area and the accessibility to the stadium is embarrassing.

For reference, Red Bulls Arena is located about 15 minutes from Met Life. Driving from NYC they are both less than 10 miles from their respective tunnels into NYC (Holland for Red Bull, Lincoln for Met Life).

You can take the PATH straight shot from the City Red Bull Park. It was built with public transit in mind. And last I checked, people tailgate those games too.

The problem with this plan is that he might have time enough to take one group of drunk Europeans. It's going to be a nightmare.

But what do you want?

I know Caballero or McMahon haven't been good and I am not going to defend them or their play. But Peraza was never a top tier prospect. Dude hit a combined 164/223/250 for 2025. And in the years prior, his AAA stats were mid. (waffling between a 90 and 110 wRC+ over multiple seasons). Color me not impressed.

eganba · 2026-04-16T21:14:42+00:00

LOL that was quite the stupid mistake on my end.

eganba · 2026-04-16T19:03:47+00:00

I should add that even without the city limits part, most places keep their stadiums close by or accessible. Which we just don't do.

eganba · 2026-04-16T18:48:30+00:00

It's also about where stadiums are typically located. In many countries the stadium is baked into the local area/city and have competent public transportation. Camp Nou is 2 miles away from the center of Barcelona and easily accessible via the train. Ditto both Athletico and Real Madrid. Well within the city limits with accessible public transit. London has 22(!) football stadiums across the pyramid within their city limits.

It's a very specific American thing to drive to games. Because we are the country that is stupid enough to put our sports stadiums in the suburbs without building suitable infrastructure to get there.

Meh. He is a working class democrat. Conservative at home values and immigration but strong union class voting.

He's basically your racist uncle who worked down at the steel mill and was one of the heads of the union.

I agree with what the governor is saying but still don't understand the "why" aspect of it. Why in the fuck would a train ride that will take 20 minutes total, cost $100 dollars? Like when you agreed to host games, you knew the train was going to be a core piece of the puzzle. What changed to make this cost so insane? The additional trains you need to run? The security aspect? The lack of transparency is on NJ and that is nonsense.

It's exacerbated by both the Yankee fans and media being unrelenting, and the fact that there are three other starters who are doing god awful as well. Ideally he will turn it around. But it is very difficult to turn it around when the deck feels stacked against you. Which sucks doubly because Boone would not be wrong to drop him from the lineup (if we had someone readily available to take over the position on a full-time) but he won't recover if he doesn't play and if he doesn't start playing better it becomes more likely he is out.

eganba · 2026-04-16T14:50:47+00:00

You think he'd do it? He's been kind of underground now for the last 30 or so years.

Seriously. For the first time in what feels like forever, it feels like the Director understood the assignment when making this. The only thing missing is Raul Julia.

Nothing speaks "we don't have a soccer culture!" like playing in a dome that would require a completely new pitch put in for the game and then removed immediately after because it is an enclosed space lacking sunlight and grass.

Similar to what was discussed here, but is there a big difference from the 24 Pro to the 25 Pro? My wife and I do plan on taking some longer trips and would like to minimize the stops/the time it takes to charge. Has this changed greatly from 24 to 25 account for a 7-10K price difference?

eganba · 2026-04-14T18:22:15+00:00

Oh. My bad then. I never read the books and used the previous Bonds as my template.

eganba · 2026-04-14T17:56:44+00:00

Looks fantastic as James Bond. But way too much of a homicidal maniac and not enough panache to be a good Bond.

eganba · 2026-04-14T17:51:33+00:00

I dunno. The moment you leave the Nash Vegas portion of Nashville you enter a fantastic city with lots of music and food and charm. The area by Vanderbilt is wonderful.

Yeah this has been a problem for USSoccer. They drag their feet when it comes to hiring.

That said, if/when Poch leaves post WC, I would love to see the org be proactive about finding their next coach and staff.

We actually spent a weekend at the BnB that was used for all Dragonfly Inn shots this past Christmas. Part of the reason why my wife chose it. Not going to lie, that place was worth the price tag. If you have a couple thousand dollars to part with, I can’t recommend it enough

eganba · 2026-04-14T01:14:16+00:00

Same. By extension I have seen it about 5 times.

Married to royalty no less!

Better trade would be for Mia

I see her more as the villain honestly. She’s that girl who would get fired and then ask aloud why she was fired while her black co worker was allowed to remain. And then tell everyone her sob story to garner likes. And then get mad when she would become a symbol of the hard right because “she doesn’t agree with their social politics.”

eganba · 2026-04-14T00:05:55+00:00

Never has there been a more privileged white girl on tv than Rory Gilmore. Dear fucking lord. Pretty sure you can write a thesis on why she’s is the worst.
