I’ve been active here since about 2010. Had some early run-ins with Beerball around that time, but in hindsight that was all on me. Jack (who is a nice guy), had me in his sights after Beerball stopped modding. After Jack was dethroned, Hapless was nothing short of a f*cking nightmare. Especially after Covid hit. Once in awhile, I’ll post a ill-placed political comment and Simon has simply deleted them and occasionally PMd me to say, “dude, come on,” and leave it at that. No stupid suspensions or warnings. I think this place is at the point where only the egregious a-holes are getting suspended and/or banned.

Well… I got all excited that he was playing a very small venue in Schenectady (less than an hour from me), but just saw that it sold out almost instantly. Face value tix ranged $63-$533, so the aftermarket prices will be nuts. There goes that!! EDIT: I just checked TickPick … cheapest resale ticket is $875.

I actually think this site is more self-policed than it’s been in years. Hapless was censoring every 5th post, it seemed, at one point. She gave me a couple warnings (and some obnoxious PMs) a month. Before that, Jack would ban me for 10-20 days at a time for nonsense. I haven’t had any of those issues since Hap stepped down. Right now, it’s pretty much just Simon and I think he gives 99% of users a lot of slack. The other 1% are as.sholes who deserve what they get. Just my observation.

I’ve been beating the retaliation drum for years … even before Buck. This dates back to when that pedophile scumbag Clemens hit Piazza on the NY of his strong helmet. Who the f*ck waits a year to retaliate?? I am not one who likes a lot of skirmishes or fights in baseball. But there is a right time. There have been DOZENS of right times in the past two years, alone. There’s a reason the Mets batters get hit so much. It’s because they have a history of turning the other cheek. Among many other things, that is something that needs to change early and often next season.

Great thread, thank you. Not sure how often you’re on or how closely you’re following cuts, but updating your original post as more cuts are announced would be FANTASTIC, if feasible. Thanks again! 👍🏼

I believe I heard on last night’s Mets game broadcast that August 26th is the latest point in any season in which the Mets and Yankees both held the bottom spot in their respective divisions. Top two payrolls in MLB.

That you, Sea Bizkit??

When I say “excuse me,” to a stranger in a grocery store/any public place because I was briefly in their way or maybe had a near collision at the fault of no one … and their response is … ”You’re good.” Instantly raises my blood pressure.

See what I’m sayin’ ?

“I can’t”

“It’s been a minute …”

This is the only chapter I put myself through.

I just want to know who was stupid enough to get on a plane with him.

Bruce played in 14+ games in 16 of his 19 seasons. That is remarkable.

SILENCE(r) !!

NFL players have transitioned from coke and amphetamines to the grass. Unless that trend does a 180 … no effin’ way.

Looney Tunes Tom and Jerry He-Man

I think he’s pissed that they let Jeff Saturday go.

Sounds like a badly torn UCL.

Brady. And he’d probably win, since the team would be good enough to get to the Super Bowl.

I think breaking up with the Virgin Mary would be justified. “Pregnant, you say? Yeah … so … you haven’t put out ONCE, so tell me … how you got a bun in the oven?” Then she ends up naming the baby after the effin’ lawn guy? Who the hell WOULDN’T dump her??

I don’t need no sugar. I’m already sweet enough!!

This could be a fun game! Play along!! How old were you when the first game was played? What was you best friend’s name in high school? What was your first pet’s name? What is your mother’s maiden name? BONUS: What are the last 4 digits of your social security number? Post your answers here so we can have some off-season fun!!!
