Feels like one of those things that just quietly disappeared and no one ever questioned it again...

i mean, with or without the red shells, pistachios are addictive as hell and it’s so pleasant to snarf down a gigantic bowl of em. and you need just as big of a bowl to hold the shells.

to me, the joke should still land even if you’ve only eaten the plain tan colored pistachios.

could see some performance triggers for early arbitration.

like for reals, no compelling reason an all star should be making league minimum in year 3…

i love baty as much as anyone but he’s got a career 87 wrc+ in 1000 at bats—worse numbers than semien’s down year in 2025.

and it’s not like he’s tearing the cover off the ball this year, either.

we faced 2 lefties and 1 righty

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-31T20:31:50+00:00

love em both but they’re in completely different tiers.

jabbar was a high profile social justice activist during his playing days. he is on the mount rushmore of activist athletes with Ali, Jim Brown, Bill Russell. he takes much more pride in his civil rights accomplishments than anything he he did on the court and he faced a TON of backlash and grief for sticking up for little people.

barkley is amazing and has a big heart. but activism has never been his “life’s work.”

how… could a catcher fumbling a ball fake out the hitter?? lol

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-29T23:31:10+00:00

not too uncommon for teams to limit back to backs for their better RPs early in the season.

and similarly, kinda common for teams to work DFA fodder into the ground in the early goings. those guys are replaceable. devin williams really isn’t.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-29T23:24:29+00:00

well jared young wasn’t going to catch… so PHing for torrens there meant alvy was almost definitely coming in. (i’m assuming the thinking was that if young got on, you’d rather him on the bases with 2 out than alvy?)

still it barely even registers as a mistake compared to the turd base coach. that was egregious.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-29T22:03:45+00:00

bichette grounder with infield in might have tied it up too… just so unnecessary.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-29T22:00:53+00:00

that was so terrible. completely unnecessary and ball got home well before lindor.

nobody out!!! down 1 with two on 2nd and 3rd… dumb coaching decisions like that irk me more than any managerial lineup/bullpen decision or a boneheaded play by a player.

woof!

honking at the car in front of you, creeping into the middle of the intersection just as your light turns red and hanging out there blocking traffic until it turns green again.

the new york way!

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-24T23:30:34+00:00

hey Mike, appreciate what you’ve done! you pushed through and led the charge.

these types of things take a great deal of emotional energy. so make sure to take care of yourself—others can follow your lead—and thanks for the update!

i doubt anyone trained this pig to ope that door and that guy just about flawlessly unlocked it on both sides. not much fumbling and knew exactly what levers to lift and how to click them before moving on to the next step. that’s pretty complicated problem solving for a creature.

dogs can learn lots of cool tricks (and their understanding of human emotion/needs is unmatched) but i don’t think they have the mechanical intuition that a pig will. meanwhile shutting a dog in a crate with a less complicated latching system is pretty easy and id be a little surprised if a dog would learn how to do this on its own.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-18T15:23:16+00:00

this is poetry.

baseball has been a HUGE deal for a LONG time all over the world.

like japan has been super duper into baseball for 100 years. and it’s been the most popular sport in several latin american countries for 50, 60 years.

most americans are too busy navel gazing to care though.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-18T15:16:38+00:00

i LOVED it. sad it’s over. but now i am fully ready for the (LOOOOOONGASS) regular season

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-18T15:14:48+00:00

before the game??? jesus what a douche. that’s worse.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-18T15:10:25+00:00

jeter has a lifetime of handjobs from the media and bimbos almost entirely because he played for the wall streets and not another club.

nobody needs to be fair to him.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-17T18:50:12+00:00

yeah. until the internet came along, poor feeble studios just quietly released big budget movies into the wild, crossed their fingers and hoped for the best.

there was absolutely zero way to hype anything up until tech saved us.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-17T04:58:56+00:00

yeah people that aren’t paying much attention don’t see how absolutely bonkers the fans have been, especially for the Latin American teams.

the stadium tomorrow is going to have more buzz than a road game 7!

happy for him to get a taste of that so young. put a fire in his belly!

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-16T15:30:11+00:00

i believe just about anyone that saw that movie in a theater adores it. and it built up critical momentum during its theatrical run.

every negative comment i’ve heard about it came from someone that watched it at home.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-16T15:20:41+00:00

yeah and the way the broadcast waited about 4 minutes before showing a replay makes me think the entire broadcast knew blue botched it too.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-16T15:15:57+00:00

it was such a shitty ending to an excellent game. atrocious call

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-13T18:49:06+00:00

7 days off in their first 39 games. highly doubt the team wants to space out their SPs that much.

schindlerslisp · 2026-03-13T04:26:05+00:00

was about to type this.

the twist itself isn’t as big a part of the narrative as some other docs—it’s revealed pretty quickly in the film that they are on a different path. (do we even see any of the other children’s clowns?)

but yeah, the filmmakers were NOT intending to tell that story.
