YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  How's this guy doing?

LOL - still alive!

I got a Ticketmaster refund email this morning and was panicking it was my Baltimore tixx - but no it was a Decemberists concert that had been rescheduled for August (not sure why they canceled). PJ Baltimore still says "Postponed" not "Canceled".

Someone said they are postponing US until 2022? Why can't they play in the fall, at least in states that allow "vaccine passports"? Screw you Texas & Florida.

Did anyone talk about Res Ipsa closing last year? Brutal blow.

Yeah I feel like the longer no announcement goes, the more likely it is something happens this year. 

Definitely a bummer about res ipsa and all the others that closed. Shitty situation to say the least. Most bummed about mama’s probably since it was 2 feet from my work. Serpico, continental...all bummers 

Hope all is well

This is practically a full house in Atlanta right? And absolutely none of these knuckle draggers are wearing masks.

Hope they at least win this game tonight so they won't get swept.

I think Bohm got his foot in there but either way it was fun to watch all those Braves fans be sad and upset. They are just the worst.

Absolutely. And I'm not gonna have an inferiority complex of ESPN trotting out the Philly Fan trope after Atlanta fans threw trash on the field, and how the night before that Philly dad and son gave Freeman's home run ball to a littler kid in a Freeman jersey. Nope, not gonna do it!

Also, I couldn't tell - I still don't know if he even tagged him. Regardless, the replay was definitely inconclusive enough to not overturn the call. 

I wonder if the whole time Snitker was yelling that the ump is like "ya might wanna keep that mask on instead of getting fined." I really love all the coaches in every sport that pull down the mask to yell. It's great, real dumb dumb meathead shit.

Seriously. Like - "we can hear you speaking or yelling with your mask on you dunderhead!"

Announcers were so bad - "Braves players are all leaving the field, the fans think he's out" - so the f*** what! They aren't the damn umpires. I mean that umpire was *right there*. I'm dreading ESPN getting hockey back cuz I can't stand that network. Gary Thorne and whoever just inanely chatting about Crosby & Ovechkin or whoever (neither of their teams are even playing!) and suddenly - SCORE! Not even paying attention to the game.

F Me In The Brain

Reason 1108 why Philly fans are the best.

(What happened last night and the reactions here.)

I'm happy for NHL to be back on ESPN because I think it will bring more eyes back to the great sport...and it needs it.

Unhappy for the ESPN hacks to have at the sport again.

eeriepadave

Caught the highlights. I couldn't tell if his foot was in, didn't look like it but i'll take it. Stay classy Atlanta Braves fan

The Juggler

He was out...but fuck it, we'll take it. 

Matt Vasgersian is a douchebag on top of being a mediocre announcer. I despise the Sunday Nigh crew.

Bring back Jon Miller and Joe Morgan!

I think it's time to just bring Moniak up. CF is so fucked right now. They literally have two automatic outs in the lineup right now.

Yeah what are they waiting for here? Give the kid a chance.

I mean I know it's only April, but I think the Roman Quinn Experiment is over (he's less valuable as only a RH batter), and Haseley is messing up even defensively (real, real bad), and I'm not sure there are any other reasonable options. Unless you put Harper in center more often, but doesn't seem worth it. They have nothing else.

And just to give Moniak a chance. He played a little at the end of last season, and had a pretty good spring this year. Let's get him up there and see what he can do on the regular. 

The Juggler

Can't hit and now they can't seem to play the field. Yeah, bring the kid up. Or at least bring Kingery back.

You mean we are going to actually play our #1 overall pick?!?!?

Well this is nice to hear. It's refreshing to want you team to make an obvious move, and then they do it.

Yeah looks like it's due to Haseley taking leave for "personal reasons", whatever that means.

That's great cause we definitely need a solid CF

hopefully they get their shit together soon. Harper and Hoskins need to start hitting better. Pitching is hit or miss with them

I am irrationally excited about this show 'Mare of Easttown' due to nothing else but the Delco/Philly accent finally getting the limelight it deserves, instead of being substituted with some dumb New York/Jersey accent.

I can't wait to see it. Wish we could binge it though. 

F Me In The Brain

Pretty much through with watching things one episode per week.  I'll watch the first and see...I used to love HBO shows but they have a lot of stuff I don't much care about on now.  Hopefully this will grab me.

Yeah I got Showtime again just to binge that Your Honor show in a week or so instead of waiting for weekly shows...which reminds me I need to cancel it.

I agree with the current HBO lineup. Succession is fucking awesome though. I do love Hbo Max in general though.

I need a weekly show again, need to get back to something like that as opposed to binge consuming. Showtime is a value buy at $8/mo for their app - lots of good shit on there, too. 'The Reagans' doc series was really good.

HBO Max as a whole is really, really good - probably the best platform for everything you get.

Overall, I'm disappointed by all the new content by all platforms right now tbh, though. It's just information overload that just paralyzes me from searching Netflix/HBO/Showtime/Prime/etc etc. Plus, there just seems to be nothing good on and I can't dedicate more than 30 minutes (an hour at best) of my time and attention.

Been on a Danny McBride kick of late - went back and watched Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down. Just starting Righteous Gemstones for the first time.

Also really like Raoul Peck's 'Exterminate The Brutes' because of the fucking YES of it all, but at the same time it can put me to sleep like Ken Burns.

Also watched this Concrete Cowboy movie on Netflix. NOT BAD.

What I really want to see is a new sketch show, along the lines of Kids in the Hall or Mr. Show.

There just seems to not be any decent original content right now.

The Juggler

Oh man, you're gonna love Righteous Gemstones. I forgot about that one. Fucking pandemic probably put a pause on second season production. 

Yeah I understand what you mean by info overload. It reminds me of going to Blockbuster twenty years ago and just walking around for an hour without being able to make a decision. So many choices.

I'm currently watching Larry Sanders. Never saw it. Really enjoying it. I also am jonsing to watch The Wire again. But I did that last year. I just can't decide what new shows to watch....
