I've been playing The Show 21 for a few days now and it's clear that I'm utter dog shit at hitting. I took batting practice for like an hour - Krusty Apr 25, 08:59 5
- I feel like I’ve legit taken about 14 pitches the entire time I’ve played it. You can throw me anything and I’m swinging. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 10:23
- I changed the hitting to Broadcast view instead of the hitters view and I'm doing better - Eag Apr 25, 09:12 1
  - I switched to the strike zone view which has helped with recognition but it's still difficult. And like you, I also suck at baserunning. -- (edited) - KrustyI Apr 25, 09:18
- The good news is, since you're playing as the Yankees, you're healthy. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 09:06 1
  - I have been wondering how realistic the game is and if there are injuries because I'm 10 games in and haven't lost a man yet which would be a miracle - Krusty Apr 25, 09:12

that McDonald's ice cream machine story is bizarre and hilarious -- nm - prayformojo Apr 25, 08:20 3
- Too lazy to read the article. I watched the video which seems to cover the same ground. Touches on something we talk about on SITV a lot. - Mop Apr 25, 09:19
- I was captivated. -- nm - David Apr 25, 08:37
- Very telling of the franchise experience. -- nm - budice Apr 25, 08:22

I genuinely don’t understand the fans reaction to the Super League. - Volnelk Apr 25, 07:49 14
- Lol. - znufrii Apr 25, 08:11 1
  - Completely not my point. Fine. Remove Leicester and replace them with Ajax. -- nm* - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:14
- Sure you can have it both ways. The clubs can afford the 100mil player because they are richer than god. This was about the rich - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:05 11
  - Do you feel the game as currently constructed has soul and football ethos? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:13 2
    - I think the idea that a random team can aspire to reach a higher station on merit is a great idea. I wish American sports would embrace some of it - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:21 1
      - There's also giant differences in the geography and infrastructure of the sport - Reagen Apr 25, 09:15
  - Also, potentially fewer games in the local stadium (and in general) to watch. All in name of a cup that has no historical value. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 25, 08:11 7
    - So nothing can change ever? Because anything new wouldn’t have historical value? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:15 5
      - Sure. For instance, the Toyota Cup evolving into its current format. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 25, 08:36
      - It does if it’s grounded in the traditions of its history. This, is not. - znufrii Apr 25, 08:20 3
        
        I get the flaws and I don’t want it to happen. My point was just that if it WAS going to happen then you’d rather be in it than not. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:39 2
        
        These fans don't think it merits being a part of. They realize how shameless a cash grab is by mostly foreign owners - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:59
        
        It was only going to happen because the owners wanted it to, they’re not passive actors here. It’s a bad faith argument. -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 08:44
    - there it is -- nm - mud Apr 25, 08:13
oh great. -- (link) - mud Apr 25, 07:32 5
- Too many reassurances. Don't believe them. When they say ingredients were conflated, does that mean I'm now immune from Anthrax? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 10:01
- Bit of a known quantity that AZ was the vaccine at the plant. Concern would be for the doses shipped and safety thereof -- nm - budice Apr 25, 07:37 3
  - you mean the one in me arm 9 days ago? swell -- nm - mud Apr 25, 07:39 2
    - or the AZ that bery got 3 days ago, or what the PM & his wife got? -- nm - mud Apr 25, 08:08 1
      - And my brother. -- nm - Meg Apr 25, 08:23
SNL May 8: Host: Elon Musk, Musical Act: Miley Cyrus -- nm - MDH Apr 25, 07:16 10
- Miley Cyrus had that thing with the shaved head... and the foam finger... and coming in like a wrecking ball. But besides that, she’s talented AF. - IAmQale Apr 25, 07:50 3
  - She should just host too. I think she’s done double duty on SNL before. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 07:51 2
    - I thought she was awesome, she can scale her presence to the audience...and she can sing, has a voice with character -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 14:46
    - Let Elon do the monologue and a Weekend Update guest spot. Miley in a few skits. Seems good. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 25, 07:53
- My issues with Musk aside, I just don't see him doing well. In interviews and talks I've seen he doesn't seem to have the right personality to do SNL. - Krusty Apr 25, 07:23 5
  - He was awkward on Big Bang Theory. That’s...amazing. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 07:39
  - Agreed. If I was making a list of non-comedians/actors to host SNL, he’d come to mind about 7000th. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 07:24 3
    - Glad it's not just me thinking this. I'm fine with non-actors/comedians hosting so it's not that. He just seems like a stiff and a poor choice. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 07:29 2
      - I've never understood why people fawn over him. That said, he has a huge following, and this likely is the biggest episode in years. -- nm - MDH Apr 25, 08:17 1
        
        Now’s our chance to round them up. “Did you watch SNL this week?” “Yes. Elon was on!” “Step into the van, please.” - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:26
I just read that Sammy The Bull Gravano has a podcast. *smh* Of course he does. For 30 years now he hasn't shut up. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 07:04 5
- amazing that he's survived the last 30 yrs w/o getting whacked -- nm - mud Apr 25, 07:09 4
  - Yup. I am really surprised he got out of prison alive. I would have guessed they'd get him in there. - Krusty Apr 25, 07:15 3
    - if Christopher Moltisanti hadn't been such a goddam junkie, their thing would be in much better shape! -- nm - mud Apr 25, 07:21 2
      - Fucking Christopher - Krusty Apr 25, 07:24 1
        
        ha! -- nm - mud Apr 25, 07:26
Some auto racing for this Sunday -- (link) - Dano Apr 25, 06:38 [youtube] 3

From B2 - I had 2nd Pfizer shot this Wed. No ill-after effects or anything. (But then again, I actually think I might have had COVID back in Jan 2020) - Diva Apr 25, 05:47 9
- No side effects from first Moderna; headache, body aches, and fatigue from the second. -- nm - mara Apr 25, 08:51
- I had no side effects from either Pfizer shot. - spamlet Apr 25, 07:20
- My boss had this theory as well. If you had it, the vaccine wasn’t as rough for you. -- nm - Tim Apr 25, 06:41
- I've had two shots of Pfizer (no chaser). No side effects either time. I'm someone who doesn't really get sick *knocks wood*. - zunk xometimes Apr 25, 06:21
- Moderna 2 side effects for me were sore arm, headache, insomnia, and "fever" of 99.5. I was fine within 24 hours except for the lack of sleep. -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 06:03 2
  - Pretty mild after 'derna #1, just tired. Slept well -- nm - budice Apr 25, 06:07 1
    - I would say for me, Moderna 2 had the same side effects as 1, but about 25% worse. -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 06:08
- Good to know. I have shot #2 of Pfizer this Wed. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 05:54 1
  - yay! -- nm - Diva Apr 25, 07:25
With the new number rules Dalvin Cook wanted to change his number from 33 to 4. It would cost him $1.5m as he'd have to buy out the stock - Krusty Apr 25, 05:44 3

  - They do that from time to time. I have a pair that's 1 of 20. :-) - Krusty Apr 25, 05:53 1
    - nice -- nm - mud Apr 25, 05:54
"Tatis' two homers -- on a chest-high cutter to lead off the game and on another cutter that tailed away from the strike zone in the sixth" -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 25, 05:15 4
- It’s what the tracking program called itZ -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 05:58 3
  - If only the sports writer had eyes and was watching the game he could see that the program is wrong. They're wrong all the time. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 06:17 2
    - They don’t watch, it’s a pool article written by a person not there. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 06:33 1
      - It's garbage to me and with all the writers actually watching that game they should get the info right and have it written by someone that -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 25, 06:35
