A decent portion of New York enjoyed a feel good moment at the end of that World Series, I’ll tell you what. We were pretty happy in my house, having lost to those fucking juicebags the year before.

Yankees fans don’t have souls, so you’re good.

Yogi Berra doesn’t shit the bed with the Mets rotation in ‘73 against the As. He pitches Gentry in Game 6, and let’s say they lose - Seaver goes on regular rest in Game 7, and the Mets win it late on a Willie Mays pinch-hit HR. Our last memory of Willie is a massive triumph, not an old guy falling down in the outfield.

Well, the Phillies play the Mets 13 more times, so that’s 20 or so more homers for him.

What’s an “alter boy”? Sounds like a new variety of trans person.

Maybe The Ringer will be the sports and entertainment news site that doesn’t beat you over the head relentlessly with left-wing politics that a lot of us have been looking for. I think I shall find out.

You’re starting to sound a lot like the guys yelling at the ballpark.

I usually do stand up out of respect and because it’s the 7th inning, and I don’t generally wear hats because I’m not a 9-year-old boy. But if I’m eating or something, people need to mind their own damn business.

The Soft Serve machines are never cleaned. (My wife worked for a fast-food joint, and said every day they’d just add more mix.) They are chockablock with mold.

Ha! Thought of that. But we didn’t buy any, she was just saying.

I am guessing you’re a lady, so at least it’s limited to snide remarks.. Us guys get raged at by the (usually shitfaced) Patriotism Police: “Hey, asshole! Stand up! Stand the fuck up!!” It’s amazing how many near-altercations I’ve gotten into over what other fans decide I need to be doing at the ballpark.

People already do that. They don’t get that God Bless America is not the National Anthem: standing, hat removal, and paying attention are optional.

I go antique-shopping pretty regularly with the Missus, and she regularly carries on about the spectacular deals on vintage jewelry, compared to what things go for new at a store. I mean, shit costs less than half. She was eyeing a $4000 bracelet (!) that she said would easily retail for $12,000 in a department store…

That was probably right after the BLM leaders apologized for the shitheads cheering about killing cops.

Let’s face it, Facebook and LinkedIn are just schadenfreude apps that exist solely to laugh at “Ha, look how fat my ex got” and “Ha, that asshole from college lost his job again”, respectively.

Lupica has somehow become even worse than ever. He really doesn’t “do” sports much anymore - just his Sunday random observations column, half of which are movie and book recommendations and birthday wishes/other tributes to various family members. He also gets a couple of columns a week on the other side of the paper,…

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the pissing away money part.

“intended humorous or rhetorical effect”

Are we still supposed to take women’s sports seriously? Because apparently, even the players don’t.

Where I live, every time one pops up, the idiots get it shut right back down. Burnouts in the parking lot, racing in the street... though the worst of it is the motorcycle riders who inevitably show up. Noisy, smelly pieces of shit that absolutely no one is interested in or impressed by. The dime-a-dozen assembly line…
