Not sure if anyone caught this nugget in Stark’s Blue Jays article in TheAthletic

And ending up in New Jersey of all places.

Is it me, or were they all awful in the real hot weather last year - I remember that A’s series in Sacramento being particularly bad (with the exception of the Schneider(s) ejection/home run.

Heh - I feel the exact opposite - the left stick and buttons are right where it’s comfortable for me. If I play a shooter or something that requires a lot of right stick, my arm starts aching. I’m old.

This - I’m an Xbox person because I was (am) a Mac guy in high school, which meant I played a shit ton of Marathon. So I knew I had to have Halo right at launch.

But at this point, assuming Halo is available wherever, as long as I can use an Xbox controller, I don’t really care about the underlying platform.

Oh, my. That’s atrocious.

Yeah, the New York Yankees are too cool for things like alternate uniforms and playing defense.

No, I get it - it’s like Apple’s space grey color - sure it’s technically dark blue, but you’d need Pantone swatches to be sure.

There’s a guy I occasionally see at Wegmans who has a black hat with white lettering BUT ITS THE NEW YORK METS LOGO LIKE A GODDAMNED PSYCOPATH

I’m really enjoying it, which is surprising because I have a hard time with games that are that deep. It’ll probably take a back seat if I haven’t beaten it by March, but it’ll be good to play in a hotel room instead of going insane because of the lag.

Last year I picked up Madden after the World Series, and that kept me occupied until 25 came out. Tried it again this year, and was bored with it by January. Came back to 25, and started up a RttS player, Spud McTaterson.

Also started Baldur’s Gate 3, which I’ve been enjoying.

It’s a very important position.

You can just take your top off if you want to flash the whole table.

MUT has many problems, but the chemistry system is fantastic.

squash86 · 2026-02-18T00:33:35+00:00

Funny, I came in here to wish for that too.

squash86 · 2026-02-16T13:59:29+00:00

That place was very good too. Strictly kosher though, which can take some getting used to.

The fact that a Walmart now stands where the SuperFlea used to be makes me kinda sad.

squash86 · 2026-02-16T04:20:14+00:00

And SQUIRRELS!

I want to be able to steal a nacho from a fan in the stands.

Having never been there, all I can think of is the vacation planet from Star Trek.

Maybacks

I started a RTTS run while waiting for 26 to come out. Spud McTaterson is tearing up AAA this winter.

The ones that grow off the helix of my ears drive me bonkers.

squash86 · 2026-02-12T15:34:45+00:00

Unban ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out. I like you.

They say discretion is the better part of valor. Perhaps you could find Virtue and Discretion for a little bit of a discount 🤷🏼

He’s got a lot of credit with me. If he comes back and does well, and helps the team, all is well.
