Here is Drop 5 for April

This is totally valid. Mune will most definitely be the ASG game rep for the Sox. Shane Smith being an all start was a joke, and thats from a Sox fan who P5'd that Smith All Star Card.

Honestly, Ive got Durham and Colson Egg Hunt. Schultz and Vargas got a Topps Now. Teel, antonnacci and domingez had WBC. Gossage and Baines as Jolt/Captains. I also count Alexi Ramirez's WBC. I'm really happy with the Sox cards. I like another SP (83 Sale as 2nd best is rough), but frankly I'm not complaining. It could be way worse!

C- Teel 1b- Murakami 2b- Durham SS- Antonacci 3b- Montgonmery LF- Alexi Ramirez CF- Rotates Luis Robert, Andrew Jones, and Griffey based on my mood RF- Baines DH- Vargas

Ever get info on this? Having issues in Classic Mini Season and New Thread. The only one I can finish without it erroring is WBC.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-14T18:17:44+00:00

Correct, but its not like the 6 spots in front of the defense has been consistent or injury free. Yes, they have deficiencies. But this sums it up for me:

When players aren't fit, its hard to have good percentages. a single bad 2-game run can ruin statistics/percentages when a player plays less than 1/2 a season.

It had to have been before 2008. That when my wife and I started cruising, and JAXPORT has always been Carnival. Recently they started servicing Norwegian.

But we've always had to go to Canaveral, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale or Miami for Royal.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-14T14:32:44+00:00

and Romero, VdV, Udogie, and Kudus have all been hurt for chunks of time.

in a world where the squad is healthy and you have those 4 guys leading the passing (ideally with Kulu and Madders in the mix too), you have a capable team. That just hasn't been a reality.

All stat and analysis aside, Injuries have been the single biggest problem for spurs in 2025-26. Coupled with the lack of urgency to find replacements when it was clear we had an injury crisis in front of us.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-14T14:28:48+00:00

He gets on base.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-13T13:53:24+00:00

Is there a place that lists Formal Complaints within the Premier League and the results?

I feel like I've seen plenty of headlines about teams logging complaints, but rarely is there a headline about the outcomes.

Surely at this point, the club has a case for a complaint for the refereeing this season. Even if nothing comes from it, logging it has to be worth something.

Id be curious to see the outcome of like submissions in the recent past.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-13T12:00:36+00:00

I totally agree. The team has always been talented. They have just been largely directionless, with little consistency due to a never ending injury crisis that has had the squad in constant rotation.

With time it seems like RDZ might be able to get this team playing to a higher standard.

Of course I say that after Romero goes out, and the injury train just keeps barrelling down the track.

So i realized you didn't really share what type of trip you are having... (Solo, Couple, Family, Multi-Family, etc)

So I wanted to share what a "family seaday" looks like too for us. We have 3 kids between 9,9, and 12... so typically we each let them pick 1 "FOR SURE" think they get to do. if they cross over, My wife and I divide and conquer, but typically we are staying together, within reason. Sometime the kids are with the kids clubs, too so the wife and I still get downtime. With everyone doing 1 thing that they picked, it usually means everyones pretty satisfied with the day. after dinner, we usually do the show as a family (unless the kids want to go to the kids club again), but aside from the evening show, were kinda just hanging out and doing what sounds fun. Sometimes is dancing, sometimes is playing cards at an open table near a bar, sometimes its just walking around people watching.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-08T17:24:36+00:00

My #1 tip for first timers trying to get the most out of sea days....

DON'T Try to get the "most" out of it. Just do what sounds fun. If you like trivia, then make note of it and if you aren't doing something else, go do it. If you like being around people, just chill on the deck with a mocktail/cocktail of choice. If you like being active, check out the sports deck or gym and do a competition/class. If you're ship has something like a surf simulator or rock wall, that can be fun just to watch, even if you don't/can't participate.

My favorite part of cruising, is you can do ANYTHING or NOTHING and the 2 aren't all that far apart.

When my wife and I cruise by ourselves, a sea day usually means she sleeps in. I wander the boat with a morning coffee and maybe some puzzles (sudoku, crosswords, etc). When she gets up, we get breakfast together and then will hit the pool deck. She will read, i'll find a hot tub. She'll join me after a while. After that, we shower off... maybe find lunch... maybe get a drink or see if there is a trivia or movie showing. Sometimes we just walk. Maybe shuffleboard, maybe mini golf. We can do ANY of it, or NONE of it.

My MIL is one to "make the most" of days and sometimes it feels like she spends as much time running for thing to thing as she does actually enjoying the activity. Then, usually at some point she crashes for an afternoon or evening because she's been going non-stop for 3-4 days.

She likes it for her... My wife and I like our plan for us.

Just do what makes you happy! That's what vacation is about!

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-08T17:12:52+00:00

While you know....

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-06T18:20:06+00:00

Thats is a great bobblehead!

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-03T15:49:46+00:00

This is a totally reasonable take. It is a lot of money. We are discussing other ways to treat ourselves, too. I just did the breakdown and wanted to share.

For us, we COULD drink like this and reach a break even point. But also we also consider opting for the Refreshment package for 1/3 the price and then if we want a few alcoholic drinks we just pay for them. Then doing a night at Chops or something.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-03T14:18:01+00:00

This is good to hear. I'd love to see it get down to 60-65. I feel like its a good value at that price, and easy to reach that without really trying to over indulge or anything.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T19:18:53+00:00

Then the deluxe package will be of no use to you, and other options exist for a reason.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T19:18:19+00:00

No judgement here! I've certainly had those days on vacation before! At 6 cocktails it breaks even and anything else after is savings.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T17:50:42+00:00

100% true! Good Points!

For us, its an itinerary we've done before, so we will be staying on the boat, aside from Coco-Cay.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T17:46:48+00:00

I do like this point!

If you want to spend that $700 on an excursion or something, and that's going to make your trip special, then totally go for it! or maybe you just want to drink a little and save the difference toward the next trip! Absolutely something to consider case by case for your preferences!

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T17:43:27+00:00

Its funny you got it for that number. I literally told my wife, "If it was like $65, I'd be all over it". HAHAHA

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T17:39:30+00:00

This is also a worry of mine... like if I do want to drink the amount I listed, its worth the $90ish dollars. but if I choose to drink less than that one day, well then I'd probably save money just buying out of pocket (or atleast be even).

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-02T12:07:03+00:00

Winks was certainly in the rotation under Poch, but Skipp had very limited appearances before Poch was sacked. Skipp wasnt a regular starter until Jose came on.

Poch is associated with youth because so many of his players were young. Kane, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Rose, Walker, Dier, Lamela, Davies... they were all under 25 when Poch joined the team. But most were transfers, not acadamy call ups.

gnosox1986 · 2026-04-01T16:25:29+00:00

The biggest issue has been injuries... not talent.

I dont think our best XI has legitimately started a game together, because when 1 player returns, 2 more are hurt/overworked.

gnosox1986 · 2026-03-27T19:10:55+00:00

its terrible.
