    Seriously this board’s lovefest with the O’s is hilarious to me. I’m going to take great joy in watching that “young, exciting core” live in 80-85 win purgatory until they can’t afford their stars anymore.

    I mean, they won 101 last season and added the best pitcher in the NL in the offseason, so...

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Alcoholics thread or here...

    Summer of 2022, the bloodwork on my annual physical showed really elevated liver enzymes, which was absolutely not a surprise given how much gin I drank for years.  PCP referred me to specialists, who diagnosed a fatty liver.  I quit drinking cold turkey, and a friend had recently told me that he had started using Delta-8, so I ordered some gummies and started taking one every evening.  

    Quitting booze was amazingly easy, and the gummies have made me sleep perfectly nearly every night, helped with back pain, and generally make me feel like what I had thought anti-depression drugs were supposed to make me feel like.  I also lost about 30 pounds...

    Went back to the Texas Liver Institute last week and new tests showed "completely healthy liver" in the doctors' words.  Some of you probably understand this better than I do, but from what I understand, this test shows the level of liver fattiness, with 300 = 100% fatty, 200 = 0% fatty, and "anything under 230 is 'good'":

    Doctor going over all of the tests with me kept using the words "amazing" and "phenomenal." 

    It is absolutely fucking ridiculous that alcohol is legal and cannabis is not.  

    BTW, these are the gummies I've settled on:

    I hate that they are not all day. One at a time. Fuck this staggering shit in the Sweet 16.

    Today is fucking Christmas Day as it is.  Regionals and MLB opening day.

    And I've already dragged out the backup TV and have the D2 Final Four and NCAA hockey regionals on right now. 

    And I can't believe no D1 school has hired Nova Southeastern's coach: https://nsusharks.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/jim-crutchfield/3174

    Enjoy Fanatics shit quality and overpricing for pressed on quality and not stitched.

    I started getting my jerseys from a Chinese place a couple of years ago.  Their quality is way better than Fanatics, and it's usually 3 jerseys for $100.

    App hasn't been too bad for me this year.  Way better than expected considering I had heard a lot of people have had issues.  I've needed to reset a couple of times and did have some freezing one game but overall has worked well.  I strongly prefer it to what I did last year (cancelling YTTV and going with FUBO).  I thought Fubo was god awful but stuck through it through end of Rangers season.   I don't know WTF I'm going to do for the rangers this year. I'll probably end up just paying for both at some point.

    I miss YTTV, but Fubo is at least better than Sling.  I got Sling for this month and it is amazingly bad.

    If I had similar issues with other streaming services I would think so too, nope just this POS. I think we know why they no longer play the schedule conflict games on the alt channel. Bally's managed to make us hate them even harder by forcing this half-assed attempt at an app. 

    You hang on to that Bally's app now!  It will get you all of the Dallas WNBA team's games this summer!  No Rangers games, but all the Dallas WNBA you can watch!
