Like when it became a thing humans do, rather than some weird othered abstraction, despite having played baseball as a kid.

Creed, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and all that other numetal poo poo was coming along right as I reached the age where I realized I didn't need to like what my friends liked just because we were friends. As bad as the '00s were for rock post-Napster whiny-rich-kid music, the late 90s were even worse.

She'd sing "With cheeks wide open / over the toilet." She thought it was hilarious (it was). But that's how you know you're hearing an all-time shitter of a band: when even your mom can tell they aren't cool.

See I think the Korn/Limp Bizkit rap-numetal hybrid bullshit was totally different from Creed, and also sucked way more. Creed is pretty singularly buttrock (with overtly Christian messaging that I choose to ignore) SilvergunSuperman posted:Hey sorry let me step in here and speak out for all the people that knew creed sucked gigantic rear end from the getgo and history proved correct Good job friend  Creed does suck rear end but they are also amazing, if you can't enjoy an over the top arena rock ballad from a guy who looks like Scott Stapp, ironically or otherwise, your loss IMO Seriously go watch that halftime show on YouTube, it's just tremendous content

Looking at the replay, the ball hung up there longer than it seemed like it would off the bat, but he probably should have stopped at second to see if it was going to be caught. However, if it wasn't caught Harper would have tied the game easily. Probably not the right decision but he's the best player on that team and was trying to make something happen.

Yeah he could have gotten to third with 1st and 3rd and one out. I don't know the run probability tables this year but it would have been a pretty good situation to be in. Stott was up next, too, and he's been hot. Either way what lost them the game was their defense and leaving Wheeler in too long, even though that was understandable.

Stott was up next, too, and he's been hot. Yeah that's totally fair. Off the bat though I didn't think it was getting caught either, and it still took 2 great plays to double him off so I don't think it counts as tootblan, and his dreamy hair only mildly influenced my argument.

AHEM. Creed's "Bullets" rips harder than it has any right to. Just, uh, don't watch the video. Scott Stapp is a ridiculous weirdo, but they had some great moments outside his Jesus complex. Korn's first 3 albums were amazing, and LB's first two could be condensed into one very good one. After the initial wave of numetal's popularity, it turned into a bunch of turgid poo poo for sure, but even the bands that people poo poo on the most had great first or second albums. They were absolutely one-trick ponies though.
