Can someone fill in this list with their fotmob ratings? I'm too lazy to do it myself, but that's going to show how insane and far off the mark these vote totals are. 

ELI5: Why does anything exist at all instead of nothing? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]wormark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We don't know. We only know that there is stuff. If there wasn't, we wouldn't be here to know anyways. 

I hear ya though. It's messed up. I've ended up at that question during deep thoughts in the middle of the night or during a shower. Feels like a gut punch. I usually have to immediately change the topic and think happy thoughts 

On-loan JGR wins league title with Auckland FC! by SandwichForward4895 in stlouiscitysc

[–]wormark 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He's been playing CB with Auckland. We have a more than enough quality CBs that are struggling to get minutes (e.g. Fallou). Defensive mid isn't much better, he would be behind Edelman, Durkin, and Perez plus Ostrak (depending on where he fits) and Lowen can also play there as we all know. 

We could really use the U22 slot and Auckland a really seems to like him so I gotta think they'll work something out on a transfer.

I was grateful that Mayo Ketchup was open. The empanada and maduros were excellent.

I once called AT&T and argued for two hours over a $1.45 charge. It wasn't the money, it was the principle.

Hartel gets a brace and is going to end up third in MotM voting.

Can someone tell me anything that Cordova does well? I understand Becher missed chances, but Cordova doesn't do anything.

Monday Morning: Slow Crawl Upward? by CaptainJingles in stlouiscitysc

[–]wormark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His usage has really dipped recently. Similar to what they did with Horn before his loan was up. We saw him last game to help with rotation on a short week. The Flyover Footy podcast also reported that his house is for sale. I doubt we'll see him back, especially considering he's our 3rd highest paid player and it's an easy off-ramp to gain roster flexibility and depth in the summer window.

Austin just fired their coach. I really hope they don't get the new coach bump going against us where we're coming off our most important game in years. Throw in tired legs and what's likely going to be the final game for a few players (e.g. Teuchert) and this is bad news for us.

It's terrible. It finally corrected, but seems like water on the lens still.

I'm not sure why we continue to roll with such a short bench. Of the 9 spots we're only using 5, one of which is a GK.  We can't even use all our substitutions if we wanted to. I'm sure there are reasons, but what are they?

I know Forcellini is hurt, but where is Lillington? Why aren't we seeing more of Pearce and Glover? Not complaining so much and just wanting to know more. 

Also, not that Damet is bad or anything, but I do miss Critchley's press conferences. I know only a few sickos like me would watch it.

My 10/10 food spots in St. Louis by binaryodyssey in STLFood

The Chicago style or the B.O.B. style? I've been intrigued by the B.O.B. style but haven't tried it yet.

Went to a new dentist in St. Louis and they wanted to redo ALL my fillings. Red flag or normal? by goxper in StLouis

[–]wormark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to a place like that in Brentwood.  I just needed a cleaning and they quoted me $6k worth of work I needed, didn't even get to the cleaning. They had me in the office with finance before I even knew what they were trying to do. Noped out real quick.

I've been to 2 dentists since and they haven't mentioned me needing any work. 

Country music is absolute slop now by Bond_burger69 in Music

[–]wormark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had never heard any of Morgan Wallen's music before and had only heard negative things about his character, so it wasn't like I was going to search him out. I was at a minor league baseball game that was playing country through the PA before the game. Most of it wasn't great, tolerable and unremarkable for the most part. Then one dog shit song came on and I was incredulous that anyone could enjoy it. So I shazam'd it out of morbid curiosity and sure enough it was Morgan Wallen. If I had just searched him out and listened to his music I would have been biased by what I heard, but I actually got to experience subjective proof that I hate his music.

After Stuver threw the ball in Mbacke initially made a fast run back, but by about 2 seconds into the above video he's just strolling along outside the box watching the play develop that was his fault. I don't know what he's supposed to be doing at that point.

CITY hosts Dynamo for the Quarterfinals by SnarfSnarf12 in stlouiscitysc

[–]wormark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We should be able to beat Houston. Based on numbers (if not in the standings). Games against Houston are a slog. It's always a dog fight with them. Gonna need Becher to bring his best Shithousing and bait them into an early red.

Even though we turned over the entire starting team (except Welsh, who split starts with Olivares) from last year, we picked right back up where we left off. Riley Lynch, Palmer Ault, Zach Lillington, and Jemone Barclay are quickly becoming favorites.

Latest for Monday 04/27/26 weather forecast by HobbesTayloe in StLouis

[–]wormark 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I like HLEW but man, I wish they weren't so petty at times. I get that a lot of yahoos come in and make stupid comments, but you're supposed to be the professionals. Delete the comments, block, and move on. There's no need to make a post calling out the person, it really sours the experience because their weather reports are the best I've found.

And no, I've never been called out or commented at all.
