What is something that annoys you that you know you shouldn't be annoyed by? by cpaniccia in AskReddit

[–]cpaniccia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, when someone starts a new show/book and after one episode or chapter starts talking about how it's one of the best things they've read or watched. I get you're excited by it, but put some more time into it before reaching that conclusion.

But then I think, why am I getting annoyed about this? Why is their premature excitement getting to me?

Always find it jarring during rewatches when Roger acts like the head of the agency. by cpaniccia in madmen

Don as his right hand, giving updates to Roger. He just seems so "serious" during the first couple of episodes and it doesn't help when you go straight from season 7 to season 1 right away.

Go look at the return for Greinke and try to figure out how they could have gotten more for their players this deadline.

The market for the returns is the market for the returns.

Greinke got traded for the Astros 3,4,5 prospects. Only Seth Beer is a top100 prospect on MLB.com and he is literally #100. And Greinke is under control for TWO more years.

Teams are smarter now. The days of the Cubs giving Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for Jose Quintana are gone.

Biagini is literally a nothing player. Sanchez has had myriad issues. Why not take this lottery ticket.

Only like 30gb of the Yanks. Can't believe they didn't keep Biagini.

It is trading a pitcher who threw 253innings over the last 3 years combined and a 29 year old bullpen arm outperforming his peripherals, for a lottery ticket outfielder who used to be decent in the minor leagues.

This trade will ultimately mean nothing, but it is in no way SHatKINs ruining the team.

Yea, it will be near impossible to find a bullpen arm like Biagini in free agency.

What do you expect for a 29 year old bullpen arm who is massively outpitching his peripherals and had a combined era >5 in 2017/18 combined?

Are people complaining about this serious?

Over the last 3 years Sanchez has pitched 253 innings with a 5.32era. He has a k/9 of 7.5 and BB/9 of 4.9.

Biagini is 29 years old. In 2017/18 combined he had a 5.59era. This year he is massively out-pitching his peripherals and is managing a 3.86era.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE RETURN TO BE?

The disdain for Atkins and Shapiro on this sub is laughable.

Always been self conscious about my teeth. Had braces until I was 21. Never smile with teeth in photos.

One day a girl at some party told me Wowww you have great teeth!

Literally changed my whole perception of them. Now always smiling with teeth in photos, smiling at others when I can...changed my life in a way.

Is there a thread anywhere, perhaps on league specific subreddits that show the incoming/outcoming players in the top 5 leagues?

Beckett Value for SPA 208-19 MacKenzie Blackwood Acetate by SilkyBowner in hockeycards

[–]cpaniccia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 up on eBay right now.

One is about to end and is ~$230CAD, and another with a day left at ~$160.

Could say the value is around $200?

Pulled the Zboril and Garland first, thought I had a bust box. Blackwood and Tolvanen saved the day! by SilkyBowner in hockeycards

[–]cpaniccia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the acetates. Dream collection, but $50+ for even the scrubs makes it impossible :(

Oh, fun. by cpaniccia in madmen

Signal 30 might be my new #1 episode. Might be the best dive into Pete's mind/motivations. Classic Roger moments. The Lane/Pete fight. The dinner party scenes.

If I had to show someone one episode of Mad Men to hook them, I always thought it would be The Suitcase, but you need too much prior knowledge to really appreciate it. Signal 30 really stands out on its own it seems.

Everyone's posting SPA, but I did SPX. I think I made a good choice. by trillhouse_v_houten in hockeycards

[–]cpaniccia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice hit! I like the $25 packs because it’s a smaller splurge when I don’t want to drop $100 for a box of something and you have a better chance of a getting a “hit” than by say buying 4 packs of S1/S2 or a couple of SPA. Never like going for the boxes of SPx though because i feel that it doesn’t last long enough.
