Japan defeating Russia was utterly shocking to the racists (most people) at the time. I’m sure there was decades of soul searching before that poster came out .
Californian in New Hampshire. Very much a dad. Several seemingly unrelated topics! Data, analytics, SF Giants baseball, health care, econ. Occasional political outbursts. Sorry.

How many Giants on the MLB roster have been TJd in the last 5 years? Is Rodriguez the first?
My kids insisted I protect them by emptying this one into the sink
The ahi tuna salad I ordered has beets and feta on it? What are we even doing here, people.?
This is art #SFGiants
Unnecessarily big vehicles, sports collectibles, gambling, youth sports
The Cubs lost Devers’ scouting report
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
I mean how terrible WWI was a major causal link on how people kept talking themselves into letting Hitler get away with shit
I find his at bats distressing to watch
So basically all of the trade deadline relievers except Camilo Doval had a terrible night
Andrew Abbot ass film-makers
Coen brothers comedies are usually better on rewatch and that basically should never happen.
Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok
I’m pretty sure a lot of the motivation behind the All-In guys was trying to get Trump to implicitly recoup bad crypto investments
Against lefties he needs to have perfect location too
every swing Devers takes against a fastball makes me less sanguine about his future
I choose to believe it’s about throwing a killer changeup
They’re still bad though
Sometimes we can admit that bad people do good things! It happens all the time.
This isn’t hard!
Special Agent Jack Taschner
The highlight reel
A little more command, a little more velocity and a cutter
I think him sticking of a long shot than where Ramos was in 2023. Considerably less.
Would love to see Matos or Gilbert win a job
Here are the skulls of the last 12 who tried. Good luck !
*Devers hitting the ball in the strike zone *Birdsong throwing strikes with his fastball *Find some part of next year’s bullpen in Beck, Peguero, Seymour, Winn
I think their leadership basically thinks the worse the Israelis treat Palestinians the stronger Hamas will be. Provoking the worst response possible is a feature .
I think this Giants baseball season is now the one I would most like to erase with an amnesia ray.
People love to talk about the Nazi bar but that was a moment that I realized there were a lot of nazis in the bar I was in
I get it but really good framing also means making sure the ump doesn’t miss a strike
Patrick Bailey - WAR Theif
It is funny that that basically stopped happening during the statcast era
The old fashioned method of getting a defensive reputation: with his bat.
Kirk and Bailey seem to be pretty consistent at it
I thought you were saying he and Billy Ripken were of a kind. Ripken was a basically replacement lever player and a good example of nepotism. Bell peaked as an above average player on some of the best teams of the 00s.
Your last name will get you drafted but it won’t get you promoted past AA. See Darren Baker.
Whoa whoa whoa. David Bell wasn’t as good as his dad but he was a good player for the Phillies Giants and Mariners.
Devastating
You must be in Kensington
The people writing Star Trek seem to think even optimism about a future where society recovers and grows after a nuclear holocaust is too cringe
Their pistachio ricotta is also crazy good
That throw by Devers
Just Lowe and Seymour
My favorite thing about oracle is when AL right fielders come to town and are completely baffled by how to play it
Spurious. Not genuine.
Are the Giants allowed a second run? Is that automatically reviewable ?
Strange New Worlds: Spock Loves all The Lovely Ladies
I’m on episode 4, hoping there are some surprises coming
I liked the first two pretty well but the writers seem incredibly bored with Star Trek
This Strange New Worlds season is terrible?
I hate being this guy but that is a pretty old core for a team that misses the playoffs this year.
I had the same reaction
It’s at least as old as Mark Twain, though for him it was not (derogatory).
Had a discussion with two other adults about the rankings of Taylor Swift’s albums and found myself surprised to be the only one who had Reputation at the bottom.
Worth a shot but you knew what the answer was
2016 felt like asking dad for more ice cream after you just had a milkshake.
I keep having to fight the urge to say this is the worst collapse I’ve ever seen the Giants go through because 2022 was pretty bad
I don’t know if Bob Melvin should be fired but damn if this team doesn’t play like they want him to get fired
Just a perfect song
youtu.be/lf6vCjtaV1k?...
I really can’t say this enough: listen to R.E.M. more. You’ll feel better, those songs are fuckin great.
Right in the beans
It is tractable to a two hour podcast and nothing less
I think the sentiment being expressed is usually this bit:
It will take me years to surpass this take in utter wrongness.
A lot of these free agent built offenses seem to underperform initially , they either had a badly timed poor stretch or just asked too much of the pitching staff
I think this season is pretty much over
Thunderbolts is considered a flop? That was the best Marvel movie I’ve seen since Infinity War.
Yeah, Whisenhunt is not there yet
The criticism of this book is like 1% substantive (though with some actual hits) and 99% “we don’t like the people we think they are friends with”.
We need even more dads to listen to Dan Carlin
The change up and sinker look sharp tonight but his command is not great!
It wasn’t that brief!
Relievers!
Still not as frustrating as the 2022 team
Definitely the highlight of the second half has been Devers giggling to himself every time he makes a routine play at first
I like the Mets’ booth, it is absolutely essential that one guy be a little dim
Which is the collection with Rose for Ecclesiastes in it? Good story
I’m sympathetic, but I have a hard time seeing a gap between the two
What do they see in Koss that I don’t?
much dumber than Gabe Kapler's!
to Tyler Rogers, a man with truly stupid collection of haters
Tyler Rogers, not just a #goodgiant but one of the best.
🫡
Farhan probably never makes the Devers trade, but right now that in zone swing and miss is something I’m hoping gets better next year
The defense is better, but the base running is worse
I dunno feels pretty similar to the 2022 Giants
Just being sad in groups
If there’s any life lesson to take away from the American revolution it is that the war could not be won without George Washington being good at losing battles in ways that did destroy his ability to fight.
I think I have the order on that correct
He also correctly identified Han as the guy who least needed his protection, and that Han could forgive Lando for turning him over, but would not forgive him for Chewy or Leia coming to harm
My experience on social media is that if I say something critical of Israel’s treatment of Palestine , I’ll get some defensiveness from ideological supporters but by the 5th reply someone will have called for the destruction of Israel and by the 10th someone will say something deeply anti semitic
So no? They have fun with Orion culture in that one
Have you seen Lower Decks?
Devers is bad at 1B but in a very entertaining way
(he had the wrong foot on the bag I think)
