  1. I don't think this is necessarily true as typically you are taxed based off where the money was EARNED, not based off WHERE you live once you're getting paid out, no matter how much later it is.
  2. Let's not kid ourselves...We are no "Nationals after Harper left" team...
  3. Panera sucks. Went there for a group meeting during college university and was like "wtf is this overpriced garbage?" after I got my food, and never went back. No clue why anyone would be a repeat customer at that place.
  4. Yup. Most important thing for me is they get the call right. Sick of umpires affecting the outcome of the game. There was a strike 3 call the ump missed last night, and wouldn't you know it, next pitch was a double starting a Rangers rally. Really just absurd at this point.
  5. "Erstad says he's got it!" Goddamn how do I still get goosebumps thinking about that night. Just absolutely amazing. Watched at a friend's house and we could hear the thundersticks roaring from the stadium when we stood on his front porch...
  6. Dude, what a tremendous bet. I wouldn't hedge anything.
  7. I'm reading this question as asking two different questions, possibly by missing a comma. Because they lost and the offense was overmatched by pitching and stellar defense after a walk-off the night before. I'd say so. By the way, I absolutely LOVE the way the DBacks are playing. 3 sacrifice bunts tonight, and they paid off. I think 8 for 8 in stolen bases so far this series? Then coming through clutch with 2 outs, 2 strikes, really just swinging at mistakes for hits, and fouling off the close ones. I think they only had 2 K's tonight, and one of them was not strike 3. Just an amazing lineup 1-9 with the exception of Walker and Longoria (who still got a clutch hit tonight, and also in the previous series) but they might heat up as the series goes on.
  8. DBACKS WIN PENNANT! TIME FOR THE WORLD SERIES BABY!!! BUH BYE HARPER!
  9. Imagine being Sewald. Coming over from the Mariners to DBacks, I bet he never thought he'd be in this situation.
  10. It's beyond stupid, it's straight up bum level gross.
  11. 3 OUTS TO GO! GINKEL K's THE SIDE! Schwarber and Harper may have had their last at bats of 2023.
  12. I actually live in Gilbert lol, right off the 60. I worked in Tempe for 5 years and watched the development of all the new high rise buildings, probably more than a half dozen. There were still empty lots around the area when I started, there are practically none now. One thing I love about this place is everything is literally 20-40 minutes away. Downtown Phoenix? 20 mins. Nature hike? 30 minutes. Desert to shoot some guns? 20 mins. Saguaro Lake? 40 mins. Place has really grown on me, when it's hot, I hibernate or only go out at night. And we had a phenomenal Winter last year from October to May.
  13. SIX MORE OUTS BABY!!!! DBacks still up by 2, time to get some insurance!
  14. It's so rare that whenever I run into an Arizona native I usually latch on to them to talk about how much the place has changed in the last 30 years lol. The stories are pretty phenomenal, one older gentleman was telling me how he remembers Rural being a dirt road LOL Even being here for 7 years I've seen dramatic changes, even just in Tempe and the surrounding rural areas.
  15. DBacks up 4-2 with clutch AB's! Fu*k yeah!!!! I might be over-guessing it, but I'd say almost 50% of Arizona's population is immigrants from other states, and most have moved here from California or Illinois, the mid-West, so it's tough to convert a fanbase. But with the way the Angels have been playing, it's been fun to go to games and watch them this season.
  16. @m0nkey Can't tell if sarcasm? If not, appreciate it. Honestly, besides the ugly roof (which any roof on a 25 year old indoor stadium looks ugly) I like it. Left field bleachers are fun. I like how when you walk in you're on the concourse, and it's a nice trip around the stadium. With the roof open those big square ads rotate open as well, and it's beautiful during a night game with the AZ sunset sky. And the DBacks get out of it! Biting my freakin nails over here.
