I can passively ignore a lot of noise (including all of my kids' friends and every show Fwife enjoys). But there's some things that I CANNOT MUTE FAST ENOUGH when it comes to TV advertisements. Some of these I've heard ten thousand times. Others just are terrible awful noise. Here's the short list right off the top of my head: 1. Pat Mahomes lamenting his mistake to a custodian while taking an ice bath 2. Aaron Rodgers and his stupid fake agent and his Allstate guy 3. Anything with Peyton Manning and a country star singing about Nationwide What do you all got?
I hate the 4th inning pitching changes. It didn't used to be like this. These managers are just plain dumb. Snell threw 48 pitches in 3 2/3 and gave up a single home run and you pull him? What's the fucking point of that?
The first rule of being an MLB manager is that you shouldn't be a clueless fuck on in-game decisions. I mean, go learn the trade in A ball somewhere, in Tulsa, in the heartlands, where you can't ruin my day with your oafish bumblings.
I'm trying to care and coming up short. A-Rod isn't helping. I tried the ESPN2 alternate broadcast which is supposed to be more 'stat cast' focused. Those guys are dull fuckers as well.

My favorite part of the Cabrera walk off win was that I very specifically called it that night in the IGT, told all y'all, hang on to your butts, we're gonna win this thing. AND I WAS FUCKING-A RIGHT.
We got butt fucked by Familia and Diaz. In other news, the sun is big and hot. Not trying to come down on your analysis, just expressing my frustration with these two pickleheads that blew up the 2019 Mets.
Fantastic way to end the year. Good for Dom to get a moment at the end there. Lots to like about this bunch and lots of reason for optimism about 2020.
Sure, why wouldn't Diaz give up another dinger? Ten 9th inning HR's this year and 15 overall. In 56 2/3 innings. Ridonk. Better get Jeurys up to let him come in and walk some guys.
Mets win. And get eliminated. And McNeil is done for 2019 with a broken bone in his arm/wrist. And so it goes. Rooting for HR's #52 and #53, now, and soaking up a few more days of precious Mets baseball.
