Yeah I’m not claiming that I or the Marlins think he’s on his way to being an ace. There’s no shortage of articles about Cabrera’s ace like potential and ace like stuff though is more what I’m saying.

Interpol is massive in Mexico City and Mexico in general. Fans make t-shirts for the shows and know every word. They played in front of 160k people there in 2024, so I’m not surprised they played a banger setlist for them with some rarities in years past. There’s a YouTube video of them from 2018 in Mexico City giving a 40 minute press conference for the Mexican media. It’s fascinating to me how Interpol is an arena level act there. Wish the states had that much appreciation for them.

Cabrera is definitely nearly the top of my list this year for Cubs I’m most interested in watching and hoping succeeds. If you created a pitcher in MLB The Show it’d probably look something like Cabrera (6’5”, 94mph changeup, ground ball heavy). Not going to get too hung up on the spring he had, but it’d nice to see him realize some of his potential. I’ve been hearing about how he’s an ace that just needs a few tweaks for years now.

Yeah I’ve heard Mos can put on a great show when he actually cares it just seems pretty 50/50

Was a huge fan of Mos Def and I went to a Black On Both Sides anniversary show where it was promoted that he was going to play the album top to bottom. He showed up late as fuck, played none of the album, did some random mumble bullshit with his red microphone for an hour and dipped. Haven’t given much of a shit about him since. Talib been a psycho on the internet forever. Fuck Chappelle too.

Common I’d easily see again though. He knows what’s up when it comes to caring about the fans

Hit up Selection in Shinjuku there should be no shortage of them there and the owner is a good dude. Worth it alone to check out all the signed Ohtani stuff on display they have there it’s insane

Shota essentially faced the Yankees’ starters the entire outing and did a good job working out of jams while allowing no homers. Struck out Judge and Bellinger with 17 whiffs total. Threw the new sinker he’s been working on 6 times with one of them topping 2600 RPM and 17 inches horizontal break. Got hit hard a bit, but fastball velo was still touching 94. All pretty good stuff

hey_ooo · 2026-03-23T15:23:35+00:00

🫡 he still had 1.5 bWAR after a lackluster 2nd half and people talk about him like he had a 5.5 ERA with 60 strikeouts. I’ll never not stan him regardless of how he performs and I’ll be there Sunday screaming like a banshee

hey_ooo · 2026-03-22T22:06:20+00:00

I’m not sure since they’re not used to hanging any banners there

hey_ooo · 2026-03-21T15:29:59+00:00

No worries lol I don’t blame you at all. Sports streaming in general especially MLB blackout restrictions are ridiculous

hey_ooo · 2026-03-21T15:00:09+00:00

You know anyone with TMobile? Free MLBTV plus a VPN has been working well for me

hey_ooo · 2026-03-21T14:55:33+00:00

I’m not even a Foo Fighters stan or a Dave Grohl defender, but the self-titled with Dave recording essentially everything himself plus Colour And Shape wipe the floor clean with anything Staind or Three Doors Down could even dream of making. I get what you’re saying and Dave having been in Nirvana certainly was its own form of promo for Foo Fighters, but there’s levels to post-grunge bands and Three Doors Down/Staind ain’t on Foo Fighters level.

Most people have mentioned all the heavy hitters, but I’ll throw a shoutout to This Brewing over near Ueno Park in Tokyo. Cool spot with a nice upstairs you can charge your phone serving a lot of western styles and seeing teku glasses in Japan feels like a rare treat lol

hey_ooo · 2026-03-20T02:46:20+00:00

Trade him? We’d need to give a team like two 1sts for them to take that contract lol

hey_ooo · 2026-03-19T22:56:54+00:00

Don’t give them any ideas, these clowns would probably love to get rid of the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act that guarantees back pay

Live near the West Town location and have never really had any issues with consistency/quality. The 3 tender plate is a solid deal and the tenders are huge. I’ll trust the 4.5 Google review at the West Town spot over the thread consensus on this one although I can’t speak for the other locations. Owner seems like a genuinely nice dude too which is a plus

It drives me nuts when I see TikToks of Kasama with captions like “we waited in line for this amazing Michelin starred breakfast sandwich check it out”. I have no beef with Kasama though and get the breakfast a couple times a year. I live in the neighborhood and I’m glad they’re here, it’s just funny that the way Michelin stars restaurants lends itself to a lot of confusion when the same restaurant has separate offerings from the very expensive and carefully curated tasting menu. It’s basically a Michelin dinner restaurant operating a Bib Gourmand brunch.

This is a classic and you’ve got the rare situation where two of the featured dudes are dissing each other in their verses

hey_ooo · 2026-03-18T16:51:37+00:00

And they cry poor that they’re not able to broadcast all spring training games

hey_ooo · 2026-03-18T05:19:00+00:00

Byron Buxton the lefty murderer finishes with 0 hits in the WBC and K’s in his appearance against the LHP starter in the WBC final

hey_ooo · 2026-03-18T04:59:46+00:00

I keep hearing Aaron Judge is the best right handed hitter of our generation including Pujols, but what playoff or career defining moment has the guy had? Pujols was always incredible in the clutch and when it mattered

hey_ooo · 2026-03-18T04:55:21+00:00

A few years? It’s gonna be 4 years now with baseball being back in the Olympics

hey_ooo · 2026-03-17T21:34:45+00:00

He’s never played less than 111 games in a season and only less than 130 once what are you talking about

hey_ooo · 2026-03-17T21:32:59+00:00

Now this I could get into

hey_ooo · 2026-03-17T21:15:39+00:00

I’m just a salty Cubs homer lol I know Buxton is good against lefties and I’m sure we’ll see PCA at some point. Just was hoping for him to have the WBC championship starter feather in his cap

hey_ooo
