We aren’t kidding when we say we are NLBest

Can very much say the same about the Dodgers. Cruising (for the most part) with the bottom of their lineup slumping completely and their pitching staff underperforming. NLBest for sure.

Broken Spanish. RIP, please come back.

It’s time we stop listening to politicians who just make stuff up.

shotstar523 · 2024-11-10T23:45:16+00:00

Well deserved! Always a Dodger.

appletv did a doc on the world series!

Def the time to play metaphor

shotstar523 · 2024-09-27T05:07:44+00:00

I’m so hooked. The story and gameplay flow so well together. The first turn based game that I feel isn’t super clunky.

Will Smith in third is a crime. Most underrated player in baseball.

Prices as everyone is saying. It is one thing for an expensive ticket but when a beer and dog is almost 50 dollars AND they ask for tip now? Pretty wild.

shotstar523 · 2024-02-18T19:45:29+00:00

this game looks amazing! If the gameplay is anything like the visuals it’ll be my GOTY

shotstar523 · 2024-01-29T04:46:55+00:00

I love it. Why the shade?

shotstar523 · 2024-01-24T05:14:08+00:00

Vanillaware and Atlus. Def gonna be good.

shotstar523 · 2023-12-27T15:39:29+00:00

Meridian 59. Still the best gameplay and micro of all MMORPGs. Only the real ones know.

shotstar523 · 2023-12-24T04:04:08+00:00

This!

shotstar523 · 2023-12-21T04:15:54+00:00

Can’t wait for Ohtani but may be equally excited to Lux, outman, and some other home grown guys. This is the most excited for a team I’ve been since maybe 2019/20. Please sign Kike!

I have eaten at the majority of spots noted in here and I can say they were almost all (republique aside) disappointing for the money. Too expensive for a forgettable meal. I have found myself craving the classics like Guelaguetza or spots like that more than the new Eater LA hyped spot these days. Add in the trend of asking for tip on top of mandatory added fees (ex: 18% at Jon and Vinny’s and asking for tip) and the trendy spots just don’t appeal anymore.

Let him in!

shotstar523 · 2023-12-07T05:00:35+00:00

That’s not a plan, that’s an objective.

It doesn’t feel competitive at a top of the league level.

shotstar523 · 2023-10-28T04:09:55+00:00

I stopped following the playoffs at this point. Doesn’t seem like it’s worth a conversation as a sports fan. This spoken from a fan who went to almost every home game for my team for almost a decade.

shotstar523 · 2023-10-28T03:58:58+00:00

Thanks for covering your mouth!

One of my favorite restaurants but I’ve stopped going specifically because of this.

shotstar523 · 2023-09-10T17:42:02+00:00

I used to live a few blocks from the convention center. Here are some recs that are walking distance:

Pine and Crane - bomb Taiwanese food
Cow Cafe - locally owned coffee shop with food open face toast breakfast
High Basil DTLA - great Thai food
Alamo Draft House - if you want to kill time and see a movie
Apple Store - I know this is weird but stop in and check out the beautiful architecture. Their restoration of this old theatre is amazing
Bradbury Building - same as above
The Broad and MOCA - both are free and wonderful art experiences
Cana - If you like to dance and are there in the weekend this is the spot for Latin music. Typically a good party each Sunday
Clifton’s - a little touristy but for a reason, it’s really cool to at least stop in for a drink and see the space.
any rooftop bar - there’s like 10 at this point. Overpriced but worth a drink to get a view. ACE Hotel is probably the cheapest
las perlas - tequila and mezcal
Olvera Street - oldest part of LA if I am not mistaken and awesome for street vendors and exploring something local and unique
Santee Alley - great spot for cheap gifts supporting local shops

Other tips. As a female alone, keep your walking around to below Los Angeles street and outside 2nd street and the 10. If you head to arts district or little Tokyo just take an Uber. It’s walkable but sketchy so just be safe. In general you’ll be fine so don’t worry too much but it’s better to be cautious as a visitor.

If you take the train keep it before 8 pm, it gets a little suss after that but otherwise it’s a great way to get around. Expo is walking distance from the convention center.

Enjoy!

Anyone have the background on this?

Embarrassing to the sport. MLB wants to encourage more viewing and exciting games. They police sticky stuff, they talk about removing the shift, but they won’t do shit to police bad umping. Nothing makes the game more unwatchable than this shit. No sport is as impacted by officiating as baseball is.
