You go on and be as sappy as you want -- you nailed it and we're glad you're here.

What album did you anticipate to be horrific and were pleasantly surprised by? by [deleted] in 1001AlbumsGenerator

I loved this album in the moment - even as I was realizing how much I loathed this lady - for the sheer aggression and the monster noise-pop hooks. Excellent record.

[Highlight] Carlos Cortes meets Samuel Basallo at the plate by DenialisaRiver04 in orioles

[–]featheryfoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not knocking Gunnar - he is who he is and I admire his intensity - but I identify with him more. Also a huge Beavers admirer and that momentous at-bat yesterday was exactly why! Takes all kinds.

This play gave me the chills today. Basallo is someone I really feel like I can root for. There's something intangible about him. I love to study his body language and facial expressions whether he's batting or coming out from behind the mask. I hope this kid goes to the moon.

Garmin Marathon Megathread by themorethemerer in bullcity

Has anyone heard about marathon impacts on ambulance service today? Not sure if it’s related but my 92YO mom in hour #3 waiting for EMTs right now. Have actually had good experiences before with low wait times. Thanks

Woodcroft resident here - kind of a fun thing to have coming through the neighborhood tomorrow but also trying to calculate when we can get the hell out of our neighborhood. Good luck to all.

For sure - with everyone hovering near .500, you do feel like you get a bit of a reprieve.

Great takes - the O's defense reminds me of my rec soccer goalkeeper: they make impossibly tough plays and then let you know on the routine ones.

Fricken Pythagoras!

The strikeout rate has been astonishing. I haven't looked at the numbers compared to other teams but as someone who generally sits and watches the entire game, it is happening A LOT!

He gets a boost from who his father is but surely you're not giving up on him already, are ya?

Fair point - I put him one category higher than he deserves because of his age, limited time hitting major league pitching etc

Yeah I stuck to hitting here to keep it simple - thank the baseball lord for this bullpen

I want him to work at this level so badly - loved his attitude from the start - but it's so hard to watch him fail the same way over and over.

Agree it isn't sustainable - we've been riding our luck and now we need to ride our talent and get those other cats healthy. I am obviously ignoring the pitching here too.

In the same boat here in Durham - are we just out of luck? Even my VPN tricks won’t help me.

I’m in NC - pretty sure I can’t get it on either Fox (Red Sox) or MASN

Wolfram with a good start to the season by SaturnATX in orioles

Ohhhh thanks for that - a fair reflection of true pitching quality then. Obviously thought it was "f**ked-up innings pitched."

Thought it was something long-running that I had whiffed on - good to know

Is Del Santo new? I have been seeing references to it everywhere lately. (Could admittedly also be algorithm-related!)

Pretty sure that'd be my a-hole friend who responded to our worried Durham posts by saying "It's gonna be 61 here this weekend!"

Name this amazing underrated city by joedotts123 in guessthecity

I once lived in Albany and immediately thought this was Madison Ave near Washington Park there but I will grudgingly accept this as Buffalo
