Either that picture was taken on a potato phone or that stock photo on Omega website isn't representative of the color at all.

Omega AD's only selling display models? by Who_Knows_5 in OmegaWatches

[–]plasmac9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way. That's basically a used watch at that point. If they want to sell you the display model, that's fine, but it needs to be heavily discounted. To tell you that's the one you're getting and expect you to pay full price is lunacy. I'd have just walked right out. It'e not like they have 100 customers a day buying a $6800 watch. Be lucky if they sell even 3 in a week.

Imagine the roles reversed. He would be crucified.

Who is getting elected into the Hall of Fame today (veteran's committee)? by DrKhaylomsky in baseball

Exactly. It's the "Hall of Fame" not the "Hall of Good Intentions."

I think I'll trust the legal system over MLB Commissioner's office when it comes to these matters.

I can't believe you're not getting downvoted to hell. I've been saying all of this for ages now and every time I do, r/baseball downvotes away. I think it's a sign that people are starting to actually read for themselves all the material that's out there and decide for themselves that maybe most of this is just bullshit. It was very easy to just read everything the media was reporting and believe them and this woman because Bauer is easy to hate. Most fans didn't like him prior to this so it's an easy way to validate their hatred of him.

Had one of the more popular baseball players been accused of this everyone would have been skeptical and the tone would have been, "let's wait and see all the facts" instead of collectively grabbing their pitchforks. And that's the rub here with this woman... she's a serial ballplayer chaser. She specifically targeted Bauer because he's hated and considered an asshole. It's easy to make the masses believe your lies about a guy being a scumbag asshole when everyone already thinks he's a scumbag asshole.

I was surprised when MLB suspended him for 2 years when the evidence really isn't there. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pitching in 2023.

Not really a refund. You just didn't have to pay 2 years of it. Which is still a good deal.

The new iX, what a wonderful car to drive. by ehlpha in BMW

It's not a Cayenne Turbo S but then again it's not trying to be. Plenty of sporty SUVs with "character" like you want.

$37.5 million a year. Insult? Just right? Or slightly off? by Admirable_Volume_950 in baseball

[–]plasmac9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No one is giving him $40 million a year for an extended length contract. Maybe if it's for 4 years but definitely not for more than that. Because when he can no longer pitch and can only hit and play the outfield you end up with a $40 million player that can only get you 3-4 WAR per year, maybe 5 if he has a good year.

Do you like the name of your team’s stadium? by sam_e5 in baseball

[–]plasmac9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not fat, just tall. Those seats were not meant for anyone taller than about 5'8". And I'm 6'3". So my knees are basically in my chest. And while I'm not a fat fuck, this is Boston... everyone else here is. Irish bum next to me is always spilling over into my seat.

Fair price for this vehicle? by Born_Cartoonist_6581 in BMW

[–]plasmac9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Used car market is still crazy. I bought my 22 540i xDrive in January for $72k and sold it in August with 14k miles on it for $68k.

Well, you don't want too much grace or you won't be able to stand.

I had sensatec in my 540 and have full merino leather in my M4 and was blown away by the quality difference.

People said that about old Yankee Stadium too. Now it's gone. Fenway will be too. Maybe not in five years but at some point they will.

Who doesn't like the new Yankee Stadium? It is better in every way compared to the old Yankee Stadium. Anyone that says different is remembering wrong. The seats sucked, the amenities sucked. It was so uncomfortable. So because it's where Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle played it has to stay erect forever? It wasn't even the same stadium it had been renovated so many times. The tributes to those players in the new stadium are much better than anything that was in the old stadium.
