Have we ever debated this or have I just said I’d gladly take him back? And my how in the heavens did you ever survive such a meh season where he had a whole 6 blown saves and put up more fWAR than all but 8 relievers in the league and was the 3rd most valuable pitcher on the Mets? Also he...

Nah, just one bad season.

I’m still waiting for you to drive him to the airport and send him back to Seattle. He’s looking like he did in 2018. When he’s on, he’s one of the best.

Maybe the war made it a little longer, but vinyl pressing has had extremely long wait times since the beginning of covid. I remember looking into small batch vinyl when I was gearing up to put my record out a few months prior to its release in December 2020 and wound up deciding against it...

This is exactly why no one should give a shit that people in Seattle and San Diego call our season series the Vedder Cup.

Blame a bunch of sportswriters from like 25 years ago. And all the ones who continue it. And will continue it. It’s the only thing Seattle and San Diego can fight over since it’s a stupidly forced rivalry.

It’s not about what team he roots for. It’s pretty easy to see that it’s based on places he lived during significant moments in his life, made up because neither the Mariners or Padres have natural rivalries, and were paired up as interleague rivals when interleague play began. Just because...

Nah.

That’s been what we’ve called it on lookoutlanding dating back to like 15 years ago when Jeff Sullivan ran the site before Fangraphs and then the Rays lured him away. Also, The Athletic calls it that, urban dictionary has an entry about it, pitcherlist, there’s a Twitter account based around...

Mariners and Padres.

I’m obviously team Vedder Cup.

I’d rather be a Nationals fan today than a fan of the Los Angeles Brandon Woods Of Anaheim.

Yay! Glad at least one person on here digs it! Thanks for listening!

Oof. I had it. It hit hard. I tested positive on the 8th and I was barely out of bed until the 15th. Thankfully I quarantined in our master suite and mrs. tourist was excellent at cleaning surfaces so no one else in the family caught it. By about the 18th I felt fairly normal again. Now all...

I’m back in a Cure phase. I haven’t really left it for long in… about the last 4 years. Keep coming back to it. Also, in personal news, I have a single coming out on Saturday on all the streaming platforms. It’s a song about hope that I wrote in early 2016. And I felt like I had to shelve it...

At a grocery store today a guy took his full cart through a 15-or-less express line. He had “TRUMP” tattooed across the back of his neck.

I was playing MLB The Show the other day and played the Liechtenstein Whalers and couldn’t not think of interference.

Rainouts suck.

Thankfully no one in my family has tested positive, now 72 hours after my positive test. I’ve been isolated in the master bedroom so I’m going a bit stir crazy and also feel like shit still. A day before I tested positive, my work team had a lunch meeting at a local restaurant. Usually we all...

It definitely wasn’t mild yesterday. Went from feeling perfectly fine to migraine, fever, back pain, alternating hot flashes and chills, dizziness/brain fog, nausea, achy joints, and cough within a 2 hour span. Barely slept last night because my head felt like it was boiling but my body was...

And there it is. First positive covid test. Early thoughts from my fuzzy brain are that this is slightly worse than the second vaccination shot. Not doing so hot and it really just came on out of nowhere about 4 hours ago.

Bullet doesn’t surprise me. That bass line is killer.

I’d be a lot more happy with this whole concept if they used Bono’s original vocals. But they won’t. So I’m resigned to the fact that I will not like a single one of these new versions better than the originals since Bono’s voice from like 1980-1995 is what made me really love the band originally.

Listening to October on cream vinyl while I work today and I know this is a wildly unpopular opinion among U2 fans, but Is That All? might be my favorite song on this album. The guitar on the chorus is one of my favorite simple Edge riffs.

I remember an acquaintance of mine bought some I think in either 2020 or 2021 and then made a post that God told him in a dream that it would get up to $100k in 2022 and to sell then. It never did. So he didn’t sell. And now he’s lost a ton of money.
