    2022 World Series: Houston Astros vs. Philadelphia Phillies

    in Off the Wall

    There's already a separate grateful dead thread but this is relevant.  Hopefully fans of the Dead and other bands have noticed the Dead songs playing as they go to commercials during these sporting events.  Here's a cool article from a couple years ago explaining why!  Weir everywhere

    I noticed a couple weeks ago that our local cinema was going to show the GD Meetup.  I had no idea what it was, so looked it up.

    It was a pretty cool idea, so I mentioned it to my wife.

     

    She reminded me that in the 17 years we've lived in NZ, we haven't met any Deadheads.  Any!

    I'm sure they exist, but not close to the numbers back in the US of A.  (They're probably all nice and snug in their Hobbit-holes.)

     

    That said, we decided to just stay at home.

     

    Pooj... what was it like where you went?

    How big was the crowd?  Was there anything else on offer apart from the concert movie?

     

     

    The crowd was decent but not packed, Phillies were playing so understandable.  It was fun.  There was clapping between songs just like a concert.  The movie itself was not the full show, but that was fine.  The Tivoli show was definitely a fun show, so seeing most of it on the screen was awesome.  The camera shots and audio were stellar.  It was very much like back in the day when there were simulcast events in theaters.  Well worth the night out

    I like the 76ers, they are the old syracuse nationals, so i have that connection, but i will NEVER jump on a teams bandwagon just because i happen to live there.  I see too many people who have no issue acting as if they are life long fans just because they are in post season.

    Interesting strategy by boeheim, using the entire bench in the first half then a more traditional lineup in the second.

    Looks like they are pulling away, from looking at the live box score. Do I really need to get ESPN+ to Watch these Games?!

    Hulu has it for me

    New York Yankees 2022....Aaron Judge sets AL record with HR #62

    in Off the Wall

    there is zero reason for the Yankees to not have these types of players every year.  Sucks for other teams, but like you said, there is really no salary cap, and the yankees have never been shy about spending money to build a dynasty.  recently that money spent has been in the wrong spots.  Let's not forget though that not having DJ and Bennetendi really hurt this team down the stretch, and as f***ed up as it may sound, losing Aaron Hicks actually hurt in terms of depth and positioning of players, not necessarily in terms of production.  Not knowing who is playing SS or who is leading off is a Boone thing, not sure he can be the future, despite his winning %age.  Things need to happen

    Bryce Harper should be on the team.   Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander should have finished their careers as Yankees.

    Snagged two tickets to the final two shows, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, and two tickets to both nights at the Gorge, which is such an awesome venue.

    Looking forward to one more Saturday night with the Dead (err...two more?)

    Now everybody's dancin' down the local armory
    With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
    Temperature keeps risin', everybody gettin' high
    Come the rockin' stroke of midnight, the place is gonna fly

     

    I got the final night at Oracle, also grabbed the Sunday boulder show and 2 Philly Tix.  Tried to get gorge but got timed out of lawn seats.  Now I've got a few months to figure out how I'm gonna get to the west coast shows

    The Ripoff Report - Week 2

    thanks for stepping up for these weekly narratives, missed it last week.  I know these are very time consuming, but as a schlub who doesn't have the energy or desire to scrutinize games as closely as others, the recaps are greatly appreciated.  I look forward to them every week!

    Maybe that was the best actor for the job and no one else thought the race of a fictional being was so critical to their portrayal of an elf or hobbit?  Maybe you reach a broader audience when your cast isn't 100% white or the bad guys?  Maybe one day I won't have to read the rants of grown men losing their ***** because black people are eating cheerios in a commercial or Captain America is black or a dwarf is black?  Not holding my breath on the last one.  (No one tell Bandito about Hamilton)

     

    Seeing everything through the lens of wokeness (nobody has actually used that term in years) is no way to go through life.
