  1. He embraces the big moments. Some guys can handle it while others never will. He and Stanton both showed up when it mattered most. If they stay hot and Judge gets rolling I think they win four more games. I think Soto has at least one game changing homer coming up in the Fall Classic. He will be worth every single dollar he gets paid this off-season.
  2. You are just incredible in the worst sense of the word. Once again, you third grade reading level clown show, I said injuries were the reason I thought the Phils would do better during the regular season. You are just such a beating to read. You are somehow less intelligent than the people hawking cryptocurrency on this site.
  3. This is awesome! Was talking with my mom on FaceTime while she watched the last three outs. Seeing her face light up like a kid while watching a team she’s been a fan of since the 1950’s get back to the World Series is just so freaking cool. Glad to see my mom happy like that after all she has been through the last ten years health wise. I could not be happier for her. She’s 75 and I just want her to enjoy this run as much as she possibly can. I have maintained all season that Soto is the engine that makes this team go and Good Lord did he come through tonight. They win four more games and he’s getting some Ohtani type money. The Yanks would already have gone home without him. He clearly loves the pressure of playing in The Bronx. Hal better open the checkbook in the off-season.
  4. When Jerome is out there Lampasas moves the football because of their size up front and ability to get yards on the ground with him. University’s front was getting gashed right up until Jerome got injured. The game plan changes with the WR having to play QB. Defensively Lampasas is still not up to snuff and just won’t be, but they would have gone well north of 40 on offense in that game with how limited the Trojans are in the defensive line. Jerome is a faster version of Stoever for Wimberley. Not amazingly accurate passing, but good enough.
  5. Lampasas gets their big rival in Burnet tonight. Comes in 6-1 and would be 7-0 had QB Reed Jerome not gotten injured in the 2nd quarter against University. They lost that one 28-21 in the last 10 seconds on a TD pass for the Trojans. They would’ve boat raced University with Jerome out there. Burnet is 5-2 and all I will say for them is it’s about to be 5-3 with another home loss to the Badgers.
  6. No Benito fits. Hirohito could speak in complete sentences.
  7. The honking is, well, maybe the absolute hardest thing for me to deal with here since I have issues with really loud noises like that. Just honking for no reason. A large truck was honking at cars to move on a side street a few days ago. The reason the street was backed up was kids getting on their school bus. Sometimes I’d be okay with some dumb rednecks living here for awhile and getting honked at just to watch what happens to the driver that does it.
  8. That’s just amazing right there. Why Brisket if you join that guy you’re making a 100 grand today! Despite all evidence showing crypto is a scam we still have people here propping this clown show up as being legitimate. It really is incredible what people will do to make a dishonest dollar. The love of money is not the root of all evil, but man it’s a heckuva drug for a whole lot of people.
  9. I will never get this. The entire thing is a scam, but there are always willing participants on this kind of stuff. All you have to do is sing the siren song of “come here and get rich quick” and before long you have people handing over money they don’t have to spare. The sooner this stuff is outright banned by the government the better.
  10. UNC is getting what they deserve on this deal. Mack will not go quietly and there will be more comical losses before this season ends. He does not have the ability to just step away and retire. We just saw this with Francona going to the Reds to manage them. It’s kinda sad to see guys not know when enough is enough, especially Francona because his health isn’t the greatest.
  11. The biggest thing I took away from watching this game was the talent gap that exists. The Horns were just so much faster on defense. OU’s offense looked like it belonged in the SunBelt. They are going to have a rough few years ahead of them trying to make up that large a talent disparity. Also I saw a graphic that said Helm is only the 9th rated TE prospect for next year’s draft. There are not 8 better players at that position. Just laughable to even think he is rated that low.
  12. It will never make sense to me that a single veteran or active member of our military will vote for this literal piece of human garbage when he has nothing but awful things to say about the military. This coward shirked duty in Vietnam by faking an injury while people who weren’t privileged had to go over there. Many of us here have dads and other relatives who went over when their number came up, but not this shrinking violet. It’s just incredible the cognitive dissonance on display.
  13. Well yeah that seems fairly reckless there to do that. I know here in NYC that if a motorist hits me they have to pay me. It doesn’t mean I am going to attempt to throw myself out into traffic though. Between the cars here and the scourge of e-bikes I have just had my fill of reckless drivers. These clowns on e-bikes will ride them on the sidewalk. It takes a lot to not just want to plow one of them over for doing that regularly.
  14. That’s steeper than the annual aggy October rollercoaster ride.
  15. Crossing the street when the light is green and having impatient cars trying to cut me off. Even the bus drivers pull this garbage on green lights for pedestrians. Today I got surly and smacked the vehicle with my hand. It was pretty loud. Guy got pissed, but I didn’t stop to look. Felt good to make one of these horrifically bad NYC drivers have to stop. I will not miss this about living here when I leave in January.
  16. The no Caitlin Clark in the WNBA Finals effect can be seen by the ticket prices. You can sit a few rows from the floor tonight for what many of us make in a few hours or you can sit in the mezzanine for between 30-40 a ticket.
  17. Someone I work with went to watch it and enjoyed it. He went to a restaurant to eat afterwards with a friend and neither of them had any appetite after seeing it. The Dennis Quaid restaurant scene really sticks with you.
  18. I do not trust the bullpen for the Yanks as a whole, but they held on in this one. Still gotta get another one. It’d be nice if Judge would decide to show up. Soto has done his part thus far getting on base to give Judge plenty of chances.
  19. I never had a Twitter account. I do support anyone leaving the platform, especially in light of the owner being a world class piece of trash.
  20. If you are a Republican you will not get my vote EVER again. The damage these clowns have done to our country and world as a whole is something I will never forget. I’d cast a vote for CHAIRMAN MAO or Prime Minister Tojo before I would ever vote for a Republican again.
  21. This is my school now so I’m going to have to say I saw none of the game because I was working. The ASU fans who did I see it got on social media and overwhelmingly said that they couldn’t believe there was a conference that had worse officiating than the PAC-12. Even the new guys know this conference has horrific game officials. That said, Fork ‘Em Devils! 4-1!
  22. I was looking at the score for UND-NDSU and wanted to see the top 25 for FCS. I looked it up and saw that 6 of the top 8 are the schools from North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Honestly that’s pretty impressive. UND will drop after their loss, but that’s still pretty cool.
  23. I saw it this week. This was a beautiful film! I hope they have at least one more Wild Robot movie. The story was cool and it really drove home some positive things for both kids and adults to take from it. The animation was just ridiculously good as well. If you have kids definitely take them to watch this.
  24. Now make yourself expire congressman. These people are complete morons. Couldn’t run a night shift at McDonald’s, but gets a little under 200k and lifetime health plan benefits to do absolutely nothing except be a person with an IQ south of 30 asking insanely stupid questions.
  25. Gritty showed up and showed out in that sentencing. That’s some amazing F around and find out justice.
