People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

On Tuesday, June 3rd I heard my AC unit making a helicopter sound so I went and looked and sure enough, a fan blade had broke. I shut it off and called for next day service. Guy comes out and suggest we change the housing unit too because of rust. My AC unit is ten years old but has a life expectancy of 15 so I went for the maintenance repair. Turns out none of the parts were in town and they had to order them from Canada. They said maybe Friday. Get a call Saturday morning and they tell me that the parts didn't arrive, maybe Monday or Tuesday. My wife is at Fan Fusion this weekend and she's staying at the Hyatt, so she's good. She suggested that I find a place but I have stubbornly waited it out. After two rough nights of heavy sweating I've properly hydrated myself and have acclimated to the higher temperatures. I always had my thermostat set at 75 so to think now I'm existing in temperatures of 90+ degrees and feel perfectly comfortable it reminds of who the body adapts and how mental toughness can get you through trying times.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Boob Salsa and his merry idiots today are are telling the DFBIA that no leaks = good news for scUM :lol:

A lie that only the DFBIA could believe
They're gonna pump that sunshine as long as they can. Subscriptions are higher when things are going well, they drop when things get worse. They're trying to keep the simps on the line as long as they can.

2026 OH RB Favour Akih is a Buckeye!!!

Best comparison I’ve seen is from @RB07OSU , he sees Trey Sermon in his game. And I’d tend to agree.
And it’s being said that the staff knew that this commitment was coming and they highly encouraged Carsyn Baker to reconsider his OV. Lock preferred Akih over Baker, that speaks very highly.
Sold. Love me some Sermon

Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

The contrast when they lost Hayes to that foot injury was pretty obvious. He's expected back in a couple games, so we'll keep seeing more effective hitting going forward.

If CES can hit a pitch like that out of the park, how do opposing pitchers of the future propose to pitch to him? He'll start seeing crap out of the strike zone now, even if Hayes hits behind him, and they'll be happy with giving him free passes to first base. Question is, will he lay of the crap that's so far out of the strike zone he can't hit it. Or not and they'll just keep pitching to him, lol.

McClain's homer - that was a batting practice pitch if I've ever seen one. Most managers would have had a reliever in there by then.

Professional Tennis (official thread)

One of the top-5 matches I’ve ever seen.

I remember waking up early in Vegas to watch the Borg-McEnroe Wimbledon Final in 1980, which had an epic 18-16 tiebreaker won by McEnroe in the 4th set. Borg then won the final set 8-6 since they didn’t play final set tiebreakers back then. It was also a high quality match, with guys hitting winners on most of the critical points.

The classics:

Borg over McEnroe 8-6 in the 5th at the Wimbledon Final in 1980 with the 18-16 4th set tiebreak;
Nadal over Federer 9-7 in the 5th set at the Wimbledon Final in 2007;
Djokovic over Nadal 7-5 in the 5th set at the Aussie Final in 2012 (longest major final at 5h 53 min);
Djokovic over Federer 13-12, a 5th set breaker after Fed was up 8-7, 40-15 with 2 pts on his serve 2019 Wimb Final;
Alcaraz over Sinner 7-6 in the 5th set, 2025 French Final after Alcatraz saved 3 match points at 3-5 0-40 in the 4th set.

Honorable mention:

Federer over Nadal 6-3 in the 5th at the 2017 Aussie Final after being down 1-3 in the 5th set. Cuz I really wanted that win.
