Definitely not. That’s why it was pretty easy to just unplug from the thread. I still play the hell out of the game tho.

Soccer video game.

Hey Derka. Show me ONE fucking neg I’ve given your loony toon ass. Guess what, you fucking can’t. I’ve NEVER negged anyone on here. Anyone want to take a guess at where all 12 of mine came from?

Here’s a thought for you....I actively avoid any thread or topic that you choose to participate in. I used to post a lot about FIFA, until you Derka’ed the shit out of the thread with your inane rants about the AI. Through that annoying fucking experience, I learned that the best way to handle you is to fucking avoid your psychotic ass. You want to know why I don’t post about the basketball team? It’s because of your crazy ass. I tried to share some insight about Shaka that came straight from the mouth of an ex-Barnes player and you went off because you didn’t like it/believe it and I wasn’t willing to burn said player in public. That’s your fucking issue, not mine. And btw, the fact that you use internet points to justify your jihad on me (because there is zero posting material to point to) really encapsulates the depths of your mental depravity. You’re bent the hell out of shape over the most simplistic community gamification structure out there and what some random 41 year old stranger thinks about the garbage you spew on the regular. Fucking pathetic.

Derka, you’re a mentally unstable child with a completely pathetic life. I didn’t address you in any way whatsoever. Keep my fucking name out of your fat fucking mouth.

This is Surly so people have to vent. It’s definitely a bad loss, but Shaka’s fate will be determined based on conference play and the tourney. End of story.

This is claimed.

Mahico has always been full of 100% grade A bullshit. Even if he knew Akina personally, what makes anyone think that Duane would feed him legit info so he can run and tell the world about it on the internet? He is a total mouthbreather that talks just to hear the sound of his own voice.

And now it's 2-0. Team looks like total shit.

Obvious penalty not given. Shocking.

Foul call was shit, but the ball in to the box was not. Not feeling good about this one.

Statement win tonight. It’s November so it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it’s bound to give the guys some much needed confidence.

On a somewhat related topic, does anyone have any experience smoking Duck? I know this is the Turkey thread, but birds of a feather and all of that. I have two 5-ish pounders and was going to smoke with Apple Wood. Any pointers on prep work (I know that I need to pierce the skin to help the fat render), cooking temp, etc. would be welcome.

Pulisic would make me a very happy Blues fan. Of course an honest to god striker would be even better.

I’ve got a sealed bottled of Black Maple Hill red label. Open to a trade for something similarly special. Also willing to consider selling outright.

Kersh will opt out, as he’d have a much harder time getting one last multi year mega deal at 33 years old vs 31 years old. Especially if stays on the downward trajectory he’s been on over the last couple of years. I am sure the Dodgers will stump up the cash but I think it’ll prove to be a bad investment over time.

Good to see players stepping up with Hazard out. Barkley is going to make it hard to take him off the pitch if his current form holds.

No salary cap, but there is a luxury tax and the Dodgers are always flirting with it. They were in the 50% penalty phase, which is why they dumped a shit load of players for old man Matt Kemp. They got back under it, but not by much. They have a lot of resources, but they can’t stay in the 50% penalty tier in perpetuity.

Look, I get it’s not going to happen. But the reality is that he’s at the point where is isn’t worth what he’s getting paid. He’s a power pitcher on the wrong side of the hill and he’s not going to turn into a guy that can paint the corners all of a sudden. People will argue that LA has to pay to keep him because of everything he’s done for the organization, but it’ll likely be a bad deal that will only hurt the team by tying up dollars in a figurehead instead of investing them in making the club better. If he’s serious about winning a ring he should take less money and let the club bring in more talent.

That fucking dickhead was blowing a bubble while he was running down the line.

Kersh should opt out and take a pay cut. He’s in the twilight of his career and I don’t remember the last season he was healthy. If he wants #1 starter money then he’s a bad investment.

Roberts is total fucking garbage. Madson has been fucking terrible pretty much since we traded for him. Jansen is not a 6 out pitcher, which you think he would have learned fucking yesterday. I am almost certain he’s actively trying to hand this series to his old ball club. Awful.

It’s in damn near every grocery store up here in Seattle. If it’s hard to find in spots it’s probably because people are hoarding because they have heard it’s getting hard to find. Bit of a self fulfilling prophecy in that sense.

Sweet Jesus

Loved that montage of Wood getting bent over this post season. As if us Dodger fans weren’t already aware.
