1. Please don’t retire, Joe. The last of a very particular Twins roster. 2. Maximum chaos ball hopes: A’s-Brewers World Series. Make it happen boys.

Today was my first game at Wrigley. It was cool that Maddon was in on the whole Maximum Chaosball mindset. Baez, too, for hacking strikeouts when he was the tying (winning? i don't remember) run. Rizzo's homer was loving beautiful. I mean that. It was a thing of beauty. As a third party observer, the respective fandoms were decent until the 8th, at which point every Brewers fan in the upper deck decided to stand. But whatever, I just stood up, too. Quality booing for Braun, Hader, and Murphy. Dueling MVP chants for Baez and Yelich. Didn't get anything fancy, just a good hot dog and some nachos and a Goose Island. 10/10 would recommend Wrigley Chaosball. (Maybe would not recommend non-Chaos as the seats are loving expensive and The Troughs are still somehow a thing that exist.)

beejay posted:Disliking Ryan Braun takes as much effort as liking him and I see no reason to like him so... I mean being a sports fan is at its core irrational and petty. I can have just as many "legitimate" reasons to dislike a player as "illegitimate" so long as all I do is boo the everloving gently caress out of them.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:and knowing how to use the left lane properly makes you a "FIB." Jesus goddamn CHRIST I hate I90 in wisconsin because no one EVER passes, they all just speed up and slow down in unison and it's the WORST GODDAMN THING. Getting to Tomah driving north is glorious because whichever branch you take is immediately better because you only have to deal with half as many assholes the rest of the way to Minnesota.

Infidel Castro posted:I don't have any hard numbers to prove it, but if someone blasts past me going 90 mph+ on 90/94 it's pretty much 50/50 odds that they have Illinois plates. Even a nice healthy 75 would be nice, but my options are usually 68 or 70.5mph and that's it. Sometimes we'll all drop down to 59 or so for no apparent reason, if we're lucky.

Spoeank posted:this is why I laugh out loud when people talk about professional sports unions and their negotiations as having any bearing on any sort of collective bargaining that happens anywhere else in the world ever. The fact that they won't do poo poo for minor leaguers is the most egregious part for me.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Yikes, my education in suburban boston just completely ignored the labor movement and unions as a whole. In fact our history coursework terminated around the new deal probably because going much further risked getting some angry letters. Where I grew up they ended there because everything after that was the last 10 or so pages of the book and we never got that far. My government class as a senior did manage to get up to Kennedy's assassination, but anything after that was just... not a big deal? I mean I vaguely remember Reagan's presidency, and apparently that's enough.
