  1. we? you mean you, me, and uncle mike? we've been off for months.
  2. so uh, not on freevee anymore. cool cool.
  3. no, i don't believe so. it's a weird year, but not sure it's that weird.
  4. i'm not sure i'm happy with one aspect of our team right now (sp, rp, offense) and we're 10 games over, 3 games back and currently in the playoffs. the offense gets solved by yainer playing over maldy, and altuve/pena/yordan coming back. adding someone is gravy. if abreu can just be average the rest of the way, we're fine on offense. the sp gets better when urquidy gets back and javier gets his shit right. not sure what's going on with him, but he's not his usual self. framber is great, france has been solid. otherwise, we're all over the place. need hb to get his head out of his ass. rp - i have no idea. i think we need to add 1-2 arms just because, but there's no guarantee that anyone is better than who we have if who we have get their shit together. we used to have 5 guys i trusted and maton wasn't one of them. i'll settle for 3 + pressly but it would be nice to know who those 3 are. need abreu to get back to being abreu. need to go 5-1 this week. i can't decide if i'm happy or pissed we went 2-1 over the weekend.
  5. also the schedule really works out this season. big-o, derka, and i are in a virtual 3-way tie for 1st place in the east, where the records have generally been shittier than the west. which means if the season ended last night, by percentage points, i would be the 7 seed and miss the playoffs. but i play both of them in the final 6 weeks, along with the disgusting brothers. time to take ph down a peg.
  6. -ok i went and skimmed the first 4-5 pages. july 31st was agreed upon for the trade deadline, so that's that. -it's always been 6 playoff teams. two division winners get byes. 2nd place in each division get in. next two best records get in after that. -fawesome is correct (felt weird to type that). aug 28th-sept 3rd is the wild card matchup. there are six regular season matchups left, including the one that starts today. let's gooooooooooo.
  7. well it sounds like some actors and writers might be selling their houses soon, so maybe there's some synergy.
  8. i haven't listened to the podcast, but from what i am hearing, the "novelty" of the actors and writers being on strike at the same time is something that will be milked a bit, and won't help resolve it anytime soon. that's two months from now and definitely possible. mid sept is about when viewers are going to start asking, "where is abbott, ghosts, and insert popular broadcast network show here".
  9. sure, but it comes off especially tone deaf when the ceo's are telling the press "sorry, there just isn't any money to go around, we're basically going broke over here." netflix specifically (and this is about the 5th time i've mentioned it, so apologies) went out of their way to create their own content in order to replace the successful content they were no longer going to license from other networks. they foolishly spent over a billion dollars on a few high-profile showrunners and accomplished pretty much zero of what they set out to do. so yeah, decisions were made from high places and that money could've certainly been useful elsewhere.
  10. mike pence pees sitting down. facing the toilet.
  11. production is not the issue, it's distribution. nobody wants to shoot a movie or tv series and upload it to youtube or tiktok. it's basically self-publishing a book.
  12. i didn't follow that closely this year, but were we able to take advantage of signing anyone under slot? did we money-whip anyone away from college? truly amazing that we did that for several years before every other team was like, wait, this might work. all those charts and graphs exist for a reason.
  13. haven’t read this thread, but here’s one i skimmed. 🧵 so does buying a ticket for this count as a charitable/political donation? about to do my taxes and such.
  14. gotta give him credit, he says all the right things.
  15. this strike is way more about television production than film production, and the bolded is a shitty take.
  16. yeah, turns out you can ditch produced material, never release it, fuck over the people who worked on it, and then claim hundreds of millions in impairment charges to avoid paying taxes, before you cry poverty to the media. (cusack covered a lot of ground on twitter today, this was just part of it)
  17. *the republican nomination yes, i agree with everything you're saying about the general.
  18. everybody plays fast when they drive their cart onto the green.
  19. so many words to say, "this is probably a fair solution, but i'm going to make sure all y'all feel like you're getting fucked."
  20. yeah, there's a lot of low cards in that hand.
