  1. “We’Re HumAn BeiNgS ToO!!!!” cry more, dumb cunt.
  2. gotta be honest- there’s a bunch of y’all who desperately need pitching, and we keep offering you andrew abbott, devin williams, and one of our hitters for one of your hitters, and literally dozens of these offers have just sat there and then expired. no response, no counter offer. the league is basically sitting static. it’s not very fun when nobody participates. with that said, mine and hg’s team is doing great in pitching and only so-so in hitting, and we are trying to remedy that by trading pitching for hitting. if anyone out there could use some pitching, holler at us.
  3. alcaraz is easily bigger than timber lol. always kinda shocking how small soccer players are.
  4. devers seems wildly and blatantly unlikable. not sure how/why teams decide to drop such huge money on low/no-chatacter people.
  5. two honest questions from someone who hasn’t been to the theater in over a decade: 1)how do you sit through 3+ hours of previews + a movie? 2)why don’t they have intermissions? 90% of the movies i watch at home are from the 90’s, back when keeping it a tight 90-100 minutes was SOP. movies have been so goddamn long in run time since that titanic movie that i just can’t even get up to spend 4-5 hours of my life + an exorbitant amount of money to go watch a 3 hour movie that absolutely does not need to be 3 hours long. seriously- how do y’all do it?
  6. reaves. i love herro, he’s awesome, but reaves has that “takeover gene” where he can turn it on and just run the game for an entire quarter and change or cement the outcome of a game. so for as awesome as herro is, i see him as the more ancillary of the two. i’m admittedly a big time reaves fan (he’s one of my fantasy keepers in our league), but it’s only because i’ve watched him so much from him being on my team the last two years. he can really take over a game in a way that not a lot of third options can. when ad or bron is out reaves plays like a legit no.2. he’s bout it bout it.
  7. the only real reason i’m posting this is to say that our listed “potential backup xi” is equal to/greater than the teams that wenger was taking to the ucl knockout stages every single year when i first became a supporter. two takeaways: 1)What Arsene Wenger did here was incredible. I cannot imagine another manager taking this club to 19 straight ucl ko stages with the asinine budgets he was given to work with. incredible. 2)the pressure is really on this year. i have been openly and extremely pleased with the job arteta has done. for us to beat City 5-1, and to dominate the defending champion madrid team 5-2 with an injury crisis and merino at striker? i could never have dreamed of arsenal doing these things before arteta. not even close. those teams used to do that to us, regularly. now we’ve done it to them. it shouldn’t be glossed over or unappreciated. and look, trophies are the ultimate goal, but finishing in the top 2 three consecutive seasons with best defense in the league and squad full of guys mostly entering (or still years away from) their primes is straight up badass. that’s on par with what sark has done at Texas, so i’ve really never understood how underwhelmed so many fans have been. this is by far the strongest the club has been during my time as a supporter. that said, we really do need to take the final step and win something this year. we’re going to have the squad depth, we’re finally going to have the striker we’ve been missing, and we’re still going to have the best defense in england and possibly all of europe. it’s got to materialize with a trophy and a parade this year. if not, then for the first time since he took over, arteta will have his most staunch advocates (me) no longer being satisfied with clear but trophyless growth. this year has got to be the breakthrough.
  8. we’re not gonna let nwaneri leave. we’re gonna lock that down. he wants to be here, he just wants to play. we simply need to use him off the bench with some regularity this year. i believe that will happen.
  9. pretty goddamn sick of my phone giving me google updates that i didn’t ask for that are full of fake news.
  10. guess it’s just the phillies in general:
  11. yeah i mean seriously, when i was growing up that pitch would be considered one of the best 2-seam or sinkers in the league. i couldn’t even believe it was a changeup until the first time i saw the slow-mo of his grip and release. just unreal how far athletes have come in ~20-25 years.
