Not going to lie, it's pretty fun being excited for new music.

Ticked off Fantano didn't review the Dry Cleaning debut.  His opinion carries a lot of weight and could have helped their push into this market.

I was always into 20's, 30's Blues. Some classical. Wagner is a fav....

Funny thing, as I've gotten older I've started posting more modern stuff.

No less than four albums coming out this year I'm excited for.

I think the pandemic helped.

I think I would have been ever so slightly behind the curve on the two albums that have dropped this year if it wasn't for Covid.  Both were supposed to drop in 2020.

Was it.... Foo Fighters? Had an album and BIG tour planned for their 20th anniversary. In 2020...... ?

I hate when that happens!

It’s one of those curious stat games. It’s not a perfect game, and yet he faced only 27 batters. I think that’s happened only once before

Means was the 12th pitcher since at least 1901 to face 27 batters (the minimum) in a nine-inning no-hitter without throwing a perfect game. The last to do it was the Marlins’ Edinson Vólquez on June 3, 2017, against Arizona. Vólquez walked two batters in that game but erased both on double plays.

    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
    • Before Elias.  They generally haven’t missed on a 1st round or 1st round comp pick with the position players.   I trust they’ll make a good decision at #22 and #32.   Their track record in rounds 2-4, particularly on college position players and specifically the last three drafts is suspect.
