  1. You've crossed the line. Even the hate thread has limits.
  2. Someone tell Bruce this wasn't a challenge. Blowouts are fine.
  3. That's much better than last season's 15-35 record. Interestingly, as well as we are playing this season, we are still struggling in one-run games, currently sitting at 4-7. This projects to 11-20 for the season, or roughly wining 1/3 of them. Let's just keep winning 12-2 type games so we don't have to worry about it.
  4. Great human being, but his shtick is annoying as fuck.
  5. It seems to me that the best option is to simply not lose any games. I think we should try to do that.
  6. It really is amazing. You have to think Seager would be on that list without missing so many games.
  7. Can't Arsenal just show him Chelsea highlights from last year to demonstrate how effectively he will be used? Oh wait, there were no Chelsea highlights. Have him talk to Mudryk about how nice it is to play for a team that is willing to overpay.
  8. You "tee hee" and "heavy duty" too, don't you?
  9. I feel more confident with Bochy in the dugout than I otherwise would, but the magic number is 103. Get back to us when it is zero, or at least under 20. I won't speak for other Rangers fans, but right now, I'm happy enjoying the ride. We have not been competitive in years, and this team is putting up some crazy stats. It's nice.
  10. Well shit, we apparently spent all our money on NIL, and now can't pay the electric bill.
  11. Unconventional, but why not?
  12. Yes, it is too early to write off RT. It is also too early to claim that he is going to be successful in all facets. If you evaluate what he has done month-to-month instead of minute-by-minute, what we have seen so far is encouraging.
  13. Perhaps I am being naive, but I do not see Michigan hiring Beard for the same reasons we could not possibly keep him here. Kentucky? Sure. Kansas? Probably, but I think they would exhaust all other options first.
  14. I see what you are saying. My cut and paste, but not my math. Regardless, 5 championships is considerably fewer than the 19 required for Helobious to be correct.
  15. How so? Or are you responding to the "nailed it?" If the latter, your sarcasm meter is off.
  16. What do you mean? We've been assured that he won't and is already failing.
  17. NCAA tournament results The Huskies have appeared in the NCAA tournament 36 times. Their combined record is 65–32. They have been to six Final Fours and are five time National Champions (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014, 2023). 5 out of 36. Yep. Nailed it.
  18. I assume Wes and Matt were not allowed to officially work as a team, but I wonder if the rules prevented them from building adjacent camps and sharing some tasks? Some people aren't wired to be alone. Wes lost all motivation when Amber was tapped. He's always been a team guy.
  19. He won, so the jury obviously agreed with you.
  20. Yam Yam made a better case to the jury. That doesn't mean Carolyn wasn't a threat to win. Carson and Yam Yam considered voting her out multiple times down the stretch because they thought she was a threat.
  21. Count me with those surprised by the lack of any votes for Carolyn. Carolyn being Carolyn meant it was harder for others to trust her, made her annoying to be around, and after playing her idol for Carson, made her a huge target, even within her Tika alliance. Usually, people with her personality get voted out early, or if they survive to the end, they are the "they'll never win" person you want in final tribal. She was a legitimate threat to win. Danny giving the credit to Heidi for voting him out was pure Soka homerism. Tika engineered that move. Heidi deserves credit for doing everything she possibly could, but it was way too little way too late for me. Yam Yam was likeable and persuasive. He gets no credit from me for being a "you write my name down you go home" player. That is almost always a losing strategy. I do feel that Carson steered most of the Tika voting strategy, but since Carson voted for Yam Yam, I guess it wasn't a big deal. I do feel Yam Yam's skill set was easier to win with than Carolyn's. Having seen Carolyn's and Yam Yam's final tribal, I think Carson easily wins if he makes it there. In hindsight, Tika should have targeted Heidi instead of Lauren at the final 5. I don't think Lauren wins the ball challenge, and I suspect her fire skills are not incendiary. That said, Carson had two chances to get into final tribal, and didn't get it done. Yam yam and Carolyn "earned" their way by being less of a threat to earn votes and more of a threat at fire. It appears that the fire challenge to earn final tribal is here to stay. I was surprised that Carson was not better prepared for that, considering he practiced so many of the other challenges. Still, he had to face the fastest ever, so preparation may never have been enough. Weeding out the strong fire makers needs to figure in to end game strategy.
  22. Your mom posts here? What's her handle?
  23. I was a little surprised at how low key Stacey's reaction to the tap suggestion was. I wanted her to have more of a "fuck off, I'm in it to win it" attitude toward Gary. She should absolutely still manipulate Jeff with threats to tap, regardless of if she's seriously considering it.
  24. I don't want to continue derailing the thread, but will make one more post and leave it. You can't control what other people post. I would normally follow that statement with "but you can control how you react to it," but clearly this is where you struggle. Everyone knows this, including you. Some of what you describe probably is personal and malicious, but most of it isn't. People disagreeing with you is simply a difference of opinion. You won't want to hear this, but more often than not you are the first to riddle your retorts with personal insults and condescension. That typically escalates to the back and forth shit that we often see, people stating that the thread has been derka'd, and you going into victim mode. Once that happens, some people are better at disengaging than others, and again you know that you struggle with that. People who are aware of, and sympathetic to your personal struggles may back away at that point, but expecting or relying on it is not a strategy for success. If you feel there are specific people following you around and trying to goad you into becoming the worst version of yourself, do what many have done with you and put them on ignore.
