2022 MLB thread
I went last night to try to see this giant mother fucker hit 61. 0-2 with 3 Walks, and one pop out to dead center in the 9th that fell 3 feet short of 61 and clinching a playoff spot with one swing. Place was electric by Yankee game standards.

The movie you just watched
Saint Maude. Slow burn, psychological thriller/horror movie. Fucked up. Available on Prime.

@UpperWestside I need to take a client out to dinner in October, and she specifically requested Upper West Side or Harlem (I think she lives in Westchester or something like that). Needs to be nice but not like 2/3 star Michelin nice necessarily. The only suggestion I've gotten is Sushi Ishikawa, but not sure if counter seat is the best option. Do you happen to have any suggestions that come to mind? I'm so out of the loop on uptown happenings.- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
All things people have mentioned previously, the first two of which are brought on by the fact that I had to fly economy last minute on an international flight the other day: People who stand up/hang around the gate before your boarding group is called: eat a bullet. People who listen to videos out loud/talk on speaker phones in public places: literally fuck your own face** People who whisper/talk to each other during a movie: go play in traffic. **caveat posed as a question to Surly dads, since I am about to join that group: is there a reason why so many people let their kids listen to shit out loud on iPads and iPhones vs. plugging in headphones and fixing the volume? I assume there has to be an actual reason vs. every living parent being inconsiderate.- The movie you just watched
Pearl. Not as great as X, but still pretty good. Mia Goth was terrific. this one is on my list. I’ve heard it’s brutal.- Hastag Menswear - Win Instagram or Die Trying
Piggy backing on the above, does anyone have a go to for quality sweaters (maybe a step below BC) for the colder months? I gave up on retail button downs in favor of a local shirt maker for the warm weather months (excellent decision), but I haven’t made a similar break through on sweaters.- Tell me about New York City
I think at least me, Penelope, UpperWestSide and nychorn, and maybe Stunn? There used to be others on the old site. It’s a long walk across town for me, but I’ve spent way too much money at A-1 Records, Discovery Wine and Mast Books in your neck of the woods.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
I knew we had a bunch of Lake Travis and Westlake honks on here, but I didn’t realize Gilmer inspired such devoted group think.- The movie you just watched
Barbarian. Not giving any commentary, as it’s best to go in blind. Glad i saw it. Seeing Pearl tomorrow night. X has been either my first or second favorite movie of the year, so can’t wait to see this.- Hastag Menswear - Win Instagram or Die Trying
You answered your question in my opinion. Just go the next time you are in New York. I’ve used both Midtown and Soho locations. The former will be less crowded and will likely have an older salesman (for better or worse).- Hastag Menswear - Win Instagram or Die Trying
I got some C&J loafers earlier this year for the first time. Hard not to wear these into the ground. So great.- Jimbo 2022: Balls To The Face
These are pretty great back to back. It was the O Line!! Wait, wut?- Jean Luc Godard Repozes en paix
RIP to one of the greatest.- Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
@Burt Macklin you may have already addressed elsewhere, but curious what you are seeing as the reason(s) for the dramatic change in defensive results through 2 games. Better effort, better execution, changes in scheme, a combination? Or is this just a small sample size and there are red flag warnings?- Tell me about New York City
Yes, currently sitting by a pool in Aix a bottle deep, but that isn’t going to stop me from stalking Surly in my down time!- Tell me about New York City
That looks really fucking good. I haven’t been, and looks like I need to change that- Monte Carlo
I’m currently in Aix En Provence having just come from the Riviera. Assuming you are going before the end of September, as others have said, given the amount of time probably best to just bounce around between Antibes and Menton. A great train connects each of the beach towns. You would need a rent car to really explore deeper than the immediate surrounding areas, but I’ll say that parking in the actual beach town areas really sucks. A few thoughts: From the Eze Sur Mer train station, you can hike up the Nietzche path to the old preserved village of Eze. It’s touristy to be sure, but still pretty cool and the views of the Riviera from the very top of the garden are great. The hike requires shoes and water and you to be in decent shape; it’s not a leisurely stroll but tourists do it every day. Menton is much lower key with an Italian vibe. Cool town. St Jean Cap Ferrat is beautiful and has the Rothschild grounds. The Four Seasons on the tip the peninsula is stunning, but hits the wallet fucking hard. Villa French Sur Mer is right there and also cool. Le Sentier du Littoral is a nice little walk along the coast of Antibes. Need a car for access. A bit further inland, but St Paul de Vence is a cool preserved village to walk around. Cannes is a dump.- Tell me about New York City
I finally went to Laser Wolf last week. It continues to blow me away that a place with that vibe exists in Williamsburg, but it was awesome and the view is incredible.- The movie you just watched
Watched Memoria last night in 35mm. I was honestly a little bored for the first hour or so, but the last 25 minutes were pretty mesmerizing. If this kind of deliberate, unique film is your cup of tea, worth seeing the next time it is showing in your hometown.- Tell me about New York City
I spent a lot of late nights at the Mirage, Elsewhere and Nowadays in my younger days (i.e., 3 years ago). Great venues to let loose. A terrific afternoon.- The movie you just watched
Bodies Bodies Bodies. Outside of a few really bad dialogue scenes, I thought it was pretty fucking fun. C+ movie that I had an A- time watching.- 2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
Guys, have not read the last few pages, but just wanted to post the latest from IT. These guys are dialed in so time to light the cigarettes.- 2022 Fall Camp: Drippin'
