Honestly, much as I’d love him to do it, I hope he feels no pressure on that front, same as if the Vikings or Falcons win a title. Of course if Stieb gets into the HOF I would personally demand he does an epilogue to Captain Ahab

people talk about the 2006 Cardinals as an all time backing into a title team, but the 2000 Yankees are probably even more annoying as such because, after all, they’re the fucking Yankees bsky.app/profile/schm...

They did also win the first game in the 2000 ALCS for the record!

Oh I don’t think the point is that winning is bad either, I’m more against the idea that them winning the title would somehow be a beautiful capper to the whole thing as opposed to an incidental moment in the enjoyment of fandom

A small thing that keeps me going is the tiny but not impossible chance Jon and Alex are front row at Stieb’s HOF speech

oh sure I’m not saying I wouldn’t want to see Jon and Alex do a fun video about it

The ironic thing is that the Mariners winning the title would actually not make for a good epilogue for The History of the Seattle Mariners because it runs entirely counter to the point of the entire documentary

The Jays have taken about as much time at bat as the average Motown single the last three innings, seems bad

Yeah, I dig that show. Utterly outrageous Who Are The Brain Police?. That’s one thing I think 70 has over 71, the 71 band changed the Brain Police arrangement for the worse

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 7h

yeah I’m more or less the same, any King Kong from ‘71 is as worth hearing as a ‘68 version and the instrumental stuff is wonderful. Aynsley Dunbar is my favorite FZ drummer, bar none

Pretty much, although I do have a soft spot for Napoleon Murphy Brock (although when he was bad, he was AWFUL)

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 7h

That said, the best parts of this album - the instrumental stuff, the unbelievably slick segue into Willie the Pimp, the punchline to Do You Like My New Car? - are all up there with the best of FZ’s oeuvre, there’s a reason this was a top 40 album

Kinda wild that the Lions are now a team where they’re down 2 scores and you still don’t feel like they’re out of it

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 7h

maybe I should’ve bet on it?

Arozarena got two straight “is this guy tipping his pitches” jumps

It’s very funny to me that Zappa took two solid years of his life to tour with a crack band that could jam like nobody’s business and most of their shows was dedicated to gross and puerile jokes about banging roadies and doing drugs

lmao just offering the neutral’s perspective here

This would be a really, *really* rough one for Toronto to lose

You cannot place a pitch there and expect a lot of dudes to miss it, but especially not this guy bsky.app/profile/cjze...

Sliver might be the prototypical Nirvana song, a very catchy song with big loud guitars and lyrics full of achingly vulnerable angst. Aneurysm is one of their five best songs. Everything else is either a fun goof, a cool cover, a good song, or sometimes all three at once

Now playing: Incesticide, Nirvana’s odds and sods collection and the bridge between the indie darlings from Seattle and The Band of Its Generation

The cover of Nirvana’s Incesticide, featuring an original painting by Kurt Cobain of a weird looking skinny figure with a little devil type figure on its right shoulder and two roses or something tied to its right wrist

Any time Mahomes displays anything less than perfect pocket awareness is like seeing a turtle stand up on its hind legs
