Foo Fighters >>>> any other 90’s band still around

Polls show they are considered the biggest (modern...still producing...) rock band still around. Honestly I don't have a better answer.

Perceive that as you will. I like them plenty, but this isn't the golden age either. Plenty of groups have gone into other genres so much, not many are straight up rock like in past decades.

Just a very limited genre these days compared to the likes of mixed genre heavyweights like Tame Impala, MMJ, Radiohead, King Gizzard, Khruangbin, Jungle, etc

Go shopping with her? Hell naw.

But she did want us to do a River Rave at 1. Was reluctant to go, but glad I did. I'm usually happy when I am forced to do things like that, once I'm doing it.

Are all those people there just sitting in the sun, and not moving? I could that, provided 0 social interaction is involved.

Someone described it as passive extroversion, extreme passive extroversion.

Because we only watch them every game. Every other team does it or worse.

Thank you. Availability bias.

This applies to so many things fans gripe about. They overapply things to their own team, because it's the only team they watch every single game of AND intently care about every play, every call, every decision, every article, etc.

Well........ Another update. Sometime between 12:30 and 4:00 this morning she had two more for a total of 6. Two ginger, two strawberry blonde, two gray all tabby.

She's very happy to have a safe, dry place out of the heat. Glad we brought her in...... Extremely rainy and wet day here. I'd have been worried sick about her if she didn't have them here.

June 2, 2010

It’s one of the most infamous mistakes in sports history.​




In a Major League Baseball game played on June 2, 2010 at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan, Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga nearly became the 21st pitcher in Major League history to throw a perfect game.

Galarraga instead finished with a one-hit shutout in a 3–0 victory. He faced 28 batters and threw 88 pitches (67 strikes and 21 balls), striking out three. The game is sometimes referred to as the "28-out perfect game", the "Almost Perfect" game, the "Extra Perfect Game", the "Imperfect Game" or simply the "Galarraga game."

The perfect game was ruined one out short when first-base umpire incorrectly ruled that Indians batter Jason Donald reached first base safely on a ground ball.

The umpire and the batter both admitted the call was wrong, but Major League Baseball’s commissioner refused to overturn the umpire’s decision and award Galarraga the 21st perfect game in the sport’s 134-year history. Support to overturn came from the White House, the governor of Michigan and all corners of the media.

MLB network had a good show on this. The next day the first base ump was behind the plate, and Galarraga brought out the lineup card as a way to show there were no hard feelings. The ump was so upset he blew the call. Was very emotional about it. Was still emotional about it years later when they put the show together.

I didnt realize era is that big of a metric. Why are some people crying about it so often? Seems like we've been pretty good at it all year.

Simply because we we don't have as "dominant" of a staff as we did 2 years ago....that team was LOADED with big talent and the team ERA was like 2.55 iirc...insane numher for CBB...and which is obviously 1.3 runs a game better than this year..but it is stupid to measure this year's team against a GREAT past staff like that.

This staff..despite what it looks like...still gets it done against the field...and that is a quantifiable fact...they are just barely higher than the #1 team ERA.

And as Marco said, there are only 8-9 teams in all of CBB with and ERA under 4.

We are "Dominant" against the field...and that is what matters and how this staff should be judged.

And that staff in 22...despite all it's talent and that ridiculous ERA..still lost to Notre Dame in the Supers because..

That's just baseball..
