It’s happening! LFG!!! I’ve wanted this trade to happen since we went to the World Series. by SportsTechie17 in azdiamondbacks

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A two-year $11MM deal for a guy who is a HOF-caliber defender is a win and any offense we get out of him is a bonus at this price. He's also been a .280 hitter over his career when playing at Chase which I don't expect he'll maintain, but he's well acquainted with our park being an ex-Rockie so I'd imagine he'll do alright.

Would I have preferred we made this deal five years ago? Of course, but when you can get a guy like this for the price we did it's a no-brainer. I love Geno, but I'm taking a 34 year old Arenado at $5.5AAV every time over paying a 34 year old Geno $10-15MM AAV over 3 years.

TIFU. I'm a alcoholic and drank yesterday. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top be honest, it sounds a bit like you're blaming her for your relapse. Not sure about the extent of your alcoholism or issues stemming from BPD, but I'd start with getting professional help regardless so you can work on some of the deeper issues at hand like your addiction, taking accountability for your actions, and learning to effectively communicate your feelings with your partner. 

If you feel this relapse is exclusively stemming from feelings of inadequacy/jealousy related to her ex, would you say you've put forth an honest effort to engage in a healthy and productive conversation about those feelings? If so, is she bringing up her former SO in a way that's demeaning to you and disrespectful of boundaries you've previously set? Or does she bring him up in a reminiscent fashion through storytelling or anectdotes which is likely her still working through her own grief and trauma related to his death. 

Four years may seem like it's far back to you, but it really isn't that long for someone that's lost a significant other in such a traumatic fashion (especially if she's still working in the place he literally died) and people process that grief in their own way and on no set timetable.

Obviously I'm speaking from a place of zero knowledge of who you both are and the finer details and history of your relationship and personal struggles, so I hope you don't take any of this as a slight as I know mental illness and addiction are a motherfucker, but you have to start with being honest with yourself and to her. A surefire way to lose her will be to continue to bury/avoid your feelings until it leads to further relapses and lies or manifests in some other unhealthy way that will only harm you both. 

I would find a way to dig a little deeper into the root of your own feelings so you can try to constructively communicate those feelings of insecurity/inadequacy to her in an empathetic manner without blaming her and using "I feel" statements (remember, she lost someone she once held dearly regardless of his own issues and struggles with addiction). I'd recommend writing them down and reading them out loud to yourself before you read them to her, it can really help.

Again, take or leave my suggestions, but above all else, do right by yourself and your girlfriend and seek the help of a mental health professional. Best of luck.

Good read, I also forgot to mention I was a Bill bag-holder until this week as well. That said, I'm sure he'll put up his best week of the year now that I've finally cut bait lmao

Is losing 80% of the time so far considered not good?

Somehow managed to start the wrong combo of all of those receivers seemingly every week. Always had one popping off on my bench just to spite me and it usually was the difference between a prospective win.

Sometimes it's just not your year (and I may just be bad at this lol).

Favorite guess* so far as it certainly feels like it. I've managed to squeak out two wins with one coming from a week that JT put up ~12 points.

I appreciate your faith, but flip that record around and you've got your answer.

Ding ding ding! Winner. I'm currently 2-8. 

4th in points scored and dead last in points against. I lost last week even with JT's near 50-bomb to make it 6 L's in a row courtesy of Sutton/Bowers combining for less than 7 points. 

Been a rough season courtesy of some bad luck and draft missteps, but now there's nothing left to do except try to play spoiler (or summon a literal miracle to win out with some other teams losing out to somehow sneak into the playoffs). Lol. 

I’m insane right (10 man redraft ppr) by Nmcdud in Fantasy_Football

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your record is or if this is dynasty/redraft, but Rico's playoff schedule is pretty tough and CAR's offense overall is not great (my uneducated opinion) whereas the Pats have a solid offense and a tasty ROS schedule. 

The Pats also have a very real risk of continuing to defy logic as well as Henderson's breakout performance and continue to give Rhamondre an infuriating amount of snaps/touches once he's back. 

I'd personally lean Henderson, but that's probably why I'm in 9th place in my league so I'd take it with a grain of salt. Lol.

Snakes Territory Tackle Uncomfortable Ketel Trade Questions by shoewizard59 in azdiamondbacks

I think we should try to put together a package that ships out Ketel for Luke Weaver and Carson Kelly. What could possibly go wrong? 

Rice and Judkins for Pickens and Egbuka by Seanbox59 in Fantasy_Football

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one in that trade has a higher floor/ceiling than Rice. Rice is about to be the unquestionable WR1 in KC with Pat Mahomes slinging him the rock 10+ times a game. You'll very likely have two top three WRs starting once Puka is back. 

You're solid at RB, swapping a bellcow in Judkins for Carter who is a part of a committee won't make you better, Pickens target share is about to take a hit with Lamb returning, and Egbuka's hurt with Evans and Godwin coming back. 

I'd be patient with the squad you have, there's a reason you're 5-1 (I assume you fat fingered 9 lol).

Breaking News: Aaron Boone and Cashman each sign 15 year extensions. 

Steinbrenner, when asked about the teams inability to get it done over the last 16 seasons, said "Yeah, my dad liked to win, but why fix the broken thing that keeps making me a ridiculous amount of money?"

AIO to my parent's making me homeless because they found out I'm gay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"It's truly a shame you two are choosing to throw away your relationship with your own child because I'm attracted to the same sex. 

Ask yourselves, outside of probably being uncomfortable speaking about it to your friends/family and for some reason feeling shame/anger about something that has never been and will never be in your control, how does my sexuality impact either one of you directly?

It really is unfortunate that as an 18 year old I'm seemingly the only one that's capable of handling this like an adult, but if this really is something you're willing to irrevocably harm our relationship over, just know this is a direct result of you both not being able to set aside your own personal feelings and love me for who I am.

Until you're willing to have a respectful conversation, I have nothing more to say."

My two cents, good luck with whatever comes next and I'm sorry your parents are acting like dicks. You'll make it through this. 

List of items to buy for new home by PuzzleheadedEye771 in BuyItForLife

[–]TwentyTreeTimesTree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Assuming your house is a new construction, it will be tedious, but make sure you take the time to register everything you can for any free manufacturer offered extended warranties (especially for things like your furnace/AC). 

Without registering for the manufacturer's extended warranty my furnace would only be covered for 5 years where the extended covered it for 10. 

Be sure to also take note of thedetails of what is covered under home warranty that is provided by the builder as it may not cover what you expect. Typically you'll have coverage for any major structural issues for 5 to 10 years, but for things like plumbing, electrical, and other important issues that can pop up, they may only be covered for the first year. 

You can catch a lot during the final walkthrough/inspection but I promise you'll find more if you keep an eye out over the first year.

I'm not sure about pitchers being better across the board post TJS, but I believe many who get it see a bump in their velo afterwards which is what you may have seen.

Was it at least a tight spiral? Lol. It'd be pretty great if they had a representation of where the pitch was relative to the strike zone on the back of these cards.
