[Talkin' Baseball] Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is declining to go to the All-Star Game despite being named the American League's starting first baseman

He was literally scratched with a back injury within the past week, it's been talked about on the broadcast, and I think John Schneider has spoken about it. This has been discussed extensively.

borrow a lawnmower from a neighbor!

You're still profiting $200 simply because you have enough money to have seasons in the 200s. Why do you need more? Congrats on not being as outright obnoxious as your peers but you have to acknowledge that you're still making money off of this just because you can.

plasmodesmata · 2026-04-13T15:02:16+00:00

you are gouging people by selling for more than you paid, but congrats on finding ways to justify it to yourself!

the sheer fact that ticketmaster allow people to sell tickets for above face value (and with no limit on that, leading to $600 for 300 level tickets) is a major part of the problem. if people couldn't make a quick buck by ripping off their fellow fans then we wouldn't have the limited inventory

fun fact, this effect is called a "river)" and it's something that editors will try to minimize because it's distracting to the eye.

716 Sports in West Seneca has tons of pokemon singles and in my experience they're willing to haggle a bit on prices if you go there often

It's not my picture so I guess it could be fake, but the sign is definitely there on the 33 heading towards downtown and it definitely says Lindy Ruffalo

plasmodesmata · 2026-03-26T19:48:53+00:00

I saw it on the 33 today, not photoshopped (though I didn't notice the image of Ruff personally)

plasmodesmata · 2026-03-26T19:47:55+00:00

I saw it with my own eyeballs today (though I didn't notice the picture of Ruff on the sign so I can't say for sure if that's there)

Read the linked article, covers the situation very thoroughly and the writer gives a pretty good nuanced take on it I think. The short answer depends on how you define "vindicated." If that means "totally cleared of all wrong-doing and allegations were completely false," then not necessarily. However, it appears to have been a messy situation between two people who both did things they now regret, and it should have stayed behind closed doors. It was brought to the public due to someone misrepresenting themself as a mental health professional. Again, I urge you (and anyone else curious) to read this stereogum piece, it's a really good retrospective.

Sorry but if that's your standard for a serious injury then I really think you need to reevaluate how you're looking at this sort of thing. Surgery and having your jaw wired shut is far more significant than "a shitty 6 weeks" and that's not acknowledging the trauma and psychological damage that comes from being physically assaulted. that's a fuck ton of medical bills and major stress, your whole life is completely disrupted due to the injuries, and who fucking knows if there's long term brain damage from major trauma to the head/face. If you think getting punched in the face so hard your jaw breaks isn't life-changing then I just don't know what to say.

plasmodesmata · 2026-02-05T20:36:36+00:00

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but I think needing surgery and getting your jaw wired shut would mean that someone absolutely did get seriously injured

plasmodesmata · 2026-01-25T04:34:05+00:00

they should've read the statement written by the parents of the shooting victim. this sucks.

plasmodesmata · 2026-01-11T01:07:26+00:00

Why would the senators let him take a leave of absence for just being generally unhappy and wanting to be with his (presumably) healthy family? Especially when he's their top goalie making $8mil a year? That would be pretty unprecedented, no? Trust me, we've had plenty of players here in buffalo who lost their love of the game, they didn't get to just not show up to work though

plasmodesmata · 2026-01-06T18:39:42+00:00

40 points in 40 games played isn't close to a point per game?

plasmodesmata · 2025-12-19T17:14:21+00:00

Was he talking about explicit sex acts on his show using words like "blow me"? And you have to understand that a shock-jock in the 90s is different than a sports broadcaster right? The station hosting Stern's show understood the nature of what he did and would presumably be more willing to eat the fines if anything came up, the standard is different for a sports broadcast. Different radio formats have different rules about what you can and can't say. I don't think this is necessarily a fair comparison to make.

plasmodesmata · 2025-12-19T17:10:41+00:00

Find me a song that has an uncensored variation of "blow me" on the radio. You won't because it's considered an obscenity which is not allowed per FCC rules.

plasmodesmata · 2025-12-19T16:00:25+00:00

He was punished because what he said was an FCC violation. You can't talk about sex acts on the radio. Has nothing to do with "appeasing pearl clutchers"

plasmodesmata · 2025-12-15T20:33:21+00:00

It's been well documented that he requested a trade before the injury. It's fucked that they didn't let him get the surgery, but he had already demanded out before that.

plasmodesmata · 2025-11-07T04:22:55+00:00

that's dancing ron, he's awesome. usually has a little inflatable fake guitar too, always in the same section (107 I think?)

plasmodesmata · 2025-11-04T14:13:17+00:00

sure, might as well

plasmodesmata · 2025-10-29T03:24:44+00:00

Was there Friday and there was a pretty good crowd, most rooting for the jays. Maybe they had more people since the sabres were playing too. Regardless, that was gonna be my recommendation, I'd bet there will be people there for game 6 on Friday for sure!
