  1. jazz chisholm through 152 games with the yankees: .253 avg, 140 h, 39 hr, 93 rbi, 96 r, 44 sb, .840 ops is he an mvp candidate? no. but he’s one of the top 2b in baseball, and he’s a helluva lot better than most people said he was, and that includes his peers who voted him the most overrated player in baseball. hate him for his antics if you’re old and out of touch, but his production is undeniable.
  2. its still wild to me how many people will watch shane gillis do his special, hear him talk about how we as a country do nothing to curb, much less try and eradicate our mass shooting problem, only to have him justify it by saying, “at least we aren’t gay”, and not understand who he’s making fun of, and in fact think that he is a part of the very group that he’s taking shots at. it’s like reading the gavin newsom tweets and not getting the joke. “shane gillis loves mass shootongs and hates gay people!”. lol ok.
  3. an 11 year old getting premeditatedly shot in the back by a man in his 40’s over a ding dong ditch is sadly 0% surprising in 2025. just another day in america.
  4. the grim reality is that we are far beyond the point of no return when it comes to using facts, stats, and truthful information like this to change anyone’s mind about anything. the identity politics has won out in such a landslide that information like this not only gets consumed exclusively by the people who already know this stuff and agree with it, but even if you were to force magats to watch this shit they would either not believe it or just not care. woke white lady using words above a fourth grade level = bad. that’s all they know, and all they will ever know. i’m not sure i’ll ever come to grips with how surreal it all is.
  5. i saw some film from arch’s senior year and it was shocking how bad his competition was. it looked like he was facing SPC competition (southwest preparatory conference, eg st.andrews, st.stephens, regents). you’d think that any team with him on it would sleepwalk to an undefeated season and state title. i couldn’t believe that his family didn’t have him facing better competition.
  6. your footwork can change in an attempt to take pressure off of a hurt shoulder, for example. it’s basically par for the course for one injured body part to lead to leaning on other parts more than you otherwise would. when you spend the entire offseason picturing a bigger, stronger, better version of the arch we saw last year and all of a sudden his throwing motion sucks and he looks like a totally different guy, you’re naturally going to wonder if he’s got some sort of injury.
  7. if he hadn’t recovered so well in the 4q i’d be really worried. that throwing motion he had going was awkward as hell, and the way that he under threw so many guys definitely warranted injury speculation.
  8. yeah, lots of people already saying that this will be a one-off and that we will batter the next several teams in front of us, but i’d be lying if i said that performance didn’t scare me. he did not look like the same arch that we saw last year, both in his throwing motion and in his overall performance. if he comes out and completes 75% of his passes and drops 330 on sjsu then that’ll go a long way towards making me feel better, but if he struggles again, and if that janky arm motion is back, this could be a nightmare season. trying to not to go full panic mode until we’ve got more evidence, but like you said, BLS is in full effect.
  9. lotta good points made here by ryan clark. the only thing he doesn’t touch, which we still can’t explain, is why arch looked so different with his throwing motion last weekend. is he hurt? we don’t know. but other than that, there’s a lot to marinate on in here:
  10. just woke up to a ton of notifications and was wracking my brain as to why that could be. turns out felix neg repped every single post that i’ve recently made in one particular thread, none of them insulting or incendiary, most of them responding to insulting and incendiary posts. i just re-read what i wrote up the thread about felix and i’ll reiterate it again: what kind of person comes here every day, never posts, just leaves thousands of neg reps everywhere, and then says, “yeah, it’s everyone else here who sucks.” lol. yeah he’s special.
  11. i can’t do tomorrow, i need it to be wednesday. of course if @henrygandorf is available then it’s a moo point.

  13. it’s like he’s playing career mode. insane.
  14. yeah i think her mom went into hospice and that’s when cara left the show. she said she got to spend 30 days either her mom before she passed, so that’s good to know.
  15. yep. also, re: that doc:
