The great thing about baseball is there are those old gems still left.

Sadly, I never got to go to Tigers Stadium or Yankee Stadium (the og).

I've been to Wrigley and Fenway. I don't know which one I prefer. Both cities are phenomenal. The ghosts of the past in both though.

Yup...that's the thing we would lose if we ever tore down Wrigley and made something new. First, how many baseball parks are just in the middle of a residential/light commercial district? Well...now getting a bit more densely commercial since the Ricketts' moved in.

It's something the younger teams just don't have....Tampa Bay, Arizona Diamondbacks, Florida Marlins....these new stadiums built as cheaply as possible on the cheapest possible land usually in the middle of nowhere fringes of the city limits.

I cry like a bitch at various points watching Field of Dreams, no matter how many times I see it. Baseball was my first love as a kid and I remember fondly going to many games at Fenway Park.

Oh god same...I don't know how they do it. How do they make such a fictional movie seem so real?

'Hey Dad....wanna have a catch?' - That one gets me every time. But the reality is he's having catch with his Dad who is now younger than him...doesn't make a bit of difference does it?

This is one of those movies that I haven't watched in decades and is long overdue for a rewatch.

It would be like watching a new film...and might be better from an adult perspective.

Having said that...never really been into baseball movies.

Yea...I'm not sure about what your relationship was with your dad...this movie has a way of romanticizing the past. The older you get, the more it punches you...

It's not really about baseball if you ask me. Although it has a lot to do with the backdrop of the movie.

Mitch, I don't want to see you go the way of buzz. You know that's not what we've been discussing, it's purely about the execution of the pullout. If we went by this, we could never talk about anything

I'm serious though...what are talking about for real? Is this the whole Nixon 'respect us as we leave' thing? We're embarrassed as a country. Rightfully so...but you have to admit this whole thing was a house of cards to begin with....

haha...I still don't get all the outrage...what do you think has been happening there for 20 years while our government sold out to contractors? How many innocent people died in Syria? in Iraq? in Vietnam? In Korea?

All the sudden the cameras are back on and people are outraged again. Afghanistan didn't even make the back page of the local newspaper for years.

There was a nasty flu variant going around last year because I had it, so I find it funny that they were so brazen to call this excersize in tyranny not after a flu virus, but the common cold. Quickly they changed the name to Covid to not make it so obvious but the fact remains they claim this menace is a mere corona virus. We are being told to fear a sore throat. Restrictions not seen since the Hitler War are being imposed on their subjects based on essentially nothing at all. The respect for my cousing doctor plummeted when I saw their whole family wrapped up in useless masks to preserve the image of outer party status. The champagne consumption at Waldorf Astoria must be through the roof. It's the roaring twenties again!

What does your profile photo even mean? I don't get it.

CM PUNK debuted in AEW just now, and I haven't seen a pop like that in a decade. WWE should be nervous. This is a 1997 type crowd.

My love for wrestling died when punk left....holy shit...if he's really back...it's liek 1996 when scott hall and kevin nash did their thing...

None of these countries are "the same bullshit". You write the dumbest shit in all these threads.

You've admitted that you 1) are not informed 2) don't care to be and 3) don't care about any of this.

If that's the case you basically don't have an opinion or insight on any of this that's worth a damn. Now just got to wait for you to reply with some post that completely misses the point.

You're engaging in hysteria....that's it...

This is funny coming from someone who spent four years foaming at the mouth over Donald Trump.


You basically admitted that you're just trolling now.

I'd suggest staying out of this thread from this point forward.

Trump is an indefensible moron...and here is just another situation where he'll not be held accountable...

anyway...the trump era hardened me...all these people so sad about Afghanistan...I tear up when I see a dead baby rabbit in the back yard...

my faith in my fellow American couldn't be lower, and I deeply distrust you all now in moments like these.

Who hell is Ricky Rattman anyway and why does he know so much about Guns N’ Roses all the time?

Oh is twitter now a news source?


Yes, Twitter is a news source. Depending on the poster on twitter depends on how reliable it is.

The ability for news and information to spread rapidly on social media in the early 10s is part of what allowed the Arab Spring to happen.

Not sure why you are dismissing it.

Also, not sure why you are bringing it up when all Id was doing was observing what was happening on the platform. Your post doesn't even make sense.

He's trolling at this point. His post at me was just him trying to antagonize an argument.  He's still pushing the spin/talking points about the war and not the exit.

I mean...you're right to a certain extent...it's hard to watch this conversation...ohhh the outrage...

Anyway, I gotta run...I got tickets on the left wing of a jet....
