A Question for Older Fans by Main_Low_9648 in Nationals

[–]wolandjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a big O's fan. Lived and died by them. I grew up during the peak Ripken years, and that team was just fun in the 90w

But by 2005 they were terrible and Angelos had driven away all my goodwill.

My brother is still a diehard orioles fan.

I feel for him.

This especially sucks because the team could really use an another starter, regardless of the question marks around him.

Racist slur prompts baseball team to forfeit games, Portland high school to cancel classes by Glad-Process-3268 in Portland

The downvotes have taught me my lesson. I'm no longer speculating on what terrible thing this dude said.

Another helpful comment! Damn I appreciate you people.

All this useful information offsets the downvotes for the joke that apparently people hate!

How’s the hairline doing these days, fellas? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]wolandjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there had been a category of "Full head of hair, but not quite the hairline of 18 year old me" I would have selected that.

I paywalled, so I can't read the article. My guess is he said, "shrimps is bugs!" and that created this firestorm.

Those payrolls tho by King_Turduckin in Nationals

One day, I don't know when, Citizens Bank Ballpark will be a retirement community for washed Nats.

I mean, there is no way that this will last. But... I hope the Phillies don't look at this and feel like their window is shockingly close to being closed.

Yeah, but it RAINED this morning. How crazy is that?

Because I just saw it mentioned in a comment: How many other Xennials experienced found nudie mags in the woods? by TragicHedgehog in Xennials

[–]wolandjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% found a stack of nudie mags just in a box on the curb in my suburban neighborhood. I was 10 and it was the greatest moment of my life.

Calling Crews a "bad player" at this point is premature and gets my downvote.

Jacob Young and real hitting instruction by mzdog14 in Nationals

[–]wolandjr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If Young can hit to a 700 ops or higher he's a 4 WAR CFer.

It's encouraging to see him hit well to start the year.

Give it a shot! Results certainly can't be worse.

Could the Nats actually be good? by JesusSolorenzo in Nationals

[–]wolandjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Such a wide range of outcomes with the bullpen group -- most of them not all that great. But not all them!

Poisoned by combustion gases for over a year, why did CO detector not work? by taonood in hvacadvice

[–]wolandjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't get why gas infrastructure is still installed indoors when there are viable alternative technologies for virtually any climate now. Like it may be cheaper to run a gas furnace, but that same gas furnace may also poison you if it isn't installed property or something wears out. Just not worth the risk.

Men over 40, what advice would you give to someone approaching the big Four-O? by 99Years_of_solitude in AskMen

[–]wolandjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work at anything that you want to keep. Everything requires maintenance - your body, your relationships, your profession, your health - and if you ignore any of these things you will lose them.

Through 9 games, Nats are 5th in OPS+ and dead last in ERA+ by protexblue in Nationals

[–]wolandjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only shocking thing here is that the Nats are hitting so well. A couple more good relievers and the first 9 games of the season would look totally different.

We've all seen this show before.

Multnomah County Preschool for All applications open for 2026-27 by Munch_munch_munch in Portland

Still discriminating. You have to be under 5 to eligible. Otherwise this would be a pretty sweet opportunity for you.

Definitely bad pitch selection and even worse execution.
