I thank you for correcting the youth of this generation!

I should have known better. I'm 58, so thank you for referring to me as "youth".

I know, whom cares, right?

As a dedicated English teacher, I thank you for correcting the youth of this generation!

From one of my favorite scenes of The Office:

Ryan: What I really want, honestly, Michael is for you to know it so that you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, whomever.
Michael Scott: Oh okay.
Ryan: What?
Michael Scott: It's whoever, not whomever.
Ryan: It's whomever.
Michael Scott: No, whomever is never acutally right.
Jim Halpert: Nope, sometimes it's right.
Creed: Michael is right. It's a made up word used to trick students-
Andy: No. Actually, whomever is the formal version of the word--
Oscar: Obviously it's a real word- but I don't know how to use it correctly.
Michael Scott: [to camera] Not a native speaker.
Kevin: I know what's right. But I'm not gonna say. Because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night.
Ryan: Do you really know which one is correct?
Kevin: I don't know.
Pam Beesly: It's whom when it's the object of the sentence and who when as the subject.
Phyllis: That sounds right.
Michael Scott: Well it sounds right but is it?
Stanley: How did Ryan use it, as an object?
Ryan: As an object.
Kelly: Ryan used me as an object.
Oscar: Is he right about that--
Pam Beesly: How did he use it again?
Toby: It was, Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object--
Michael Scott: Thank you!
Toby: ...to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object. Which is the, the correct usage of the word.
Michael Scott: No one, uh asked you anything ever so whomever's name is Toby, why don't you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull?

You know if you don’t win in the next hour, some anonymous bronze added in the roster update is going to make you tear your hair out.

Very true! Which is why I grabbed the rest of the series while waiting for Tatis to clear waivers.

P.S. I learned this trick from you two years ago. So... thank you!

@samguenther1987 said in New Other program loaded with packs:

I only need DeGrom and Tatis to finish the LS collection at this point

I'm down to Trout and Ohtani. Yes please - flood the market with 90+ packs.

It's all about me...

I did this with MS Alonso last week. I won.

I won too! We're the best at the market.

Whatever it is, it drops tomorrow and they haven't given any Twitterbook or twitchtube hints.

Well you need to follow them on Instachats or Facespace if you want the real inside scoop. Everybody knows that.

Don't you mean 'MyFace' or the updated version of the EBDB?

My best friend Brian and Tall Guy have one of those I think. I should get one.

Want a pocket dog?

GATTACA!!!!!!!!!!

I will win. I will keep outbidding you by 1 stub. I need to finish the National League today. I will not be denied.

When I pitched in high school, I was able to make that move at least once a game. Pretty simple, really.

@schnauzerface said in FS Showdown:

I hate showdown as much as anybody, but this was super easy and I finished it on the first try without any sweat. Very easy 15K.

Weird how this game works. I've had zero issues with Showdown this year, and this one was a pain for me. I kept failing in the 3rd stage. Took me 4 times to get through. I can't remember that ever happening.

I just googled EBDB at work. Whoops.

I wonder how many Eskimo Brothers I have here on the forum.

@dlgltal-athlete_psn said in Ranked observation:

Also, both of them messaged me after the game with a 'GG' msg.

I've had pretty good luck in RS this year. I'm not a WS player by any stretch, but the games have been good, non-toxic, and it seems most people are actually trying to grind out innings.

I keep my messaging turned on, as I have faith in humanity. Win or lose, I message people "Good Game" after playing (I'm an old guy who actually spells out "Good Game"). Most people respond back positively.

Wonder if they will give it to him since it was a double header?

They already did as soon as he hit #3, so we are almost 2 hours into the 48 hours already.

Oh nice! Haven't been on in a bit. He's having a great year, couldn't happen to a better guy.

They boosted his Vs R stats so boosted he is

125 contact vs R
125 Contact vs L
125 Pwr Vs R
96 Pwr vs L

Only 96 power vs lefty? He won't make my God squad.

@oreorockstar_psn said in Advice for your ol' pal arvcpa:

Well, my buddy arvcpa was to busy to hang with his buddy/ buddies for some casual games but he does have time to grind 300 RS innings?

I'm a terrible friend. But.... I did get to visit my daughter in Colorado for 5 days. I will have to average 16 innings a day for the rest of the cycle to make it.

To paraphrase Woody Allen:

“There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about MLBTS - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”
