    Thats why its good to believe in god.
    It right away takes away the trap of thinking you are your own god.
    You can fall into a lot of other traps, but not that one.
    Because its hard to get out of that trap.
    Nobody else can really help you to get out of the trap when there is no savior.
    You may roll high for IQ, Dexterity, or Power but if you have no soul you can't roll for a saving throw.
    Piety, Constitution and Wisdom don't do much for you in the shallow game but pay off when you get deep into the mire.
    That integrity/morality will weigh you down so much that you will not only hit bottom you will break that glass floor and come out the other side.
    Or you will find yourself realizing that you werent being weighed down but instead floating into the sky lifted up by your heels... you just needed a change of perspective to see it at work.
    And its also better to be generally well rounded than to mix/max in order to game the game.
    If you try to game the game you may miss out on the fantasy.
    Which is what is going on with our generation.
    Maybe there needs to be a government program to get these kids into the right fantasy roles so the game can go on.
    Just because socialism has to come does not mean it has to come their way.
    We can take their trojan horse and tame it and use it as entertainment and build giant hippodromes.
    Make-work... american style.
    I have already seen it at work.
    It has its appeal.

    Gotta feel for the Astros players. Those poor souls have been victimized so much by this whole ordeal.

    What a shit show. Fuck Manfred, what a douche. He’s a lying sack of shit too by suggesting he just wanted the investigation to get all truth out to the public - the truth is he just wants to get this out of the public’s mind as fast as possible. That’s 100% his motivation in this thing.

    Damn man. this hurt me to my core. i felt it. This is what has made me so upset at all of this.

    it's one thing for the Dodgers to choke away everything on their own and we can direct our anger at them but then move on. This all just makes it more difficult. How should i feel about Kershaw (still pissed at other stuff he's done, but if we win in 2017, we give him more rope!). About Yu, about Puig, Corey's home run off Verlander, just all these moments. And all our moments here ya know? All the Dodgers fans I know, casual and passionate, who'd get that. ANd then also thinking about how it fucked us up for 2018 and 2019. 2018 felt like okay, this is Our Revenge we can't lose back to back rather than Defending The Title. 2019 felt so weird, like a fever dream. Winning 106 games and everyone just scared shitless of the loss we knew was coming. All of that is different if we win in 2017. 2018 and 2019 still hurt but it's different and we enjoy the ride a little more.

    Now it's all complicated. I will say, no matter what happens in 2020, I'm thankful they got Betts. Cause I would have no interest in starting anything up this year, even coming back on here, if we just repeated the motions from last year. getting Betts has made it feel like it's new and we can actually have a fun season

    Do some editing and send this in for publication in the LA Times. Or maybe the Houston Chronicle.
    Others should definitely read it.
    This verbalizes what so many Dodger fans probably can't. Or won't.
    Well done, boyo.

    Maybe I will. Definitely not my comfort zone but if my sentiments are close to what others feel, it'd be nice to have our voices heard. That's what I hate about MLB Network, the Astros, etc. They never acknowledge us in this scandal.

    I'm going to speculate on something, and it's just that. I say "IF" it's true that the Asterisks didn't cheat in '18 and '19, the only way that's possible (that they'd suddenly stop) is if MLB found out and warned them to stop, hoping it would stay out of the public arena and fade away quietly.

    Whether this is what happened or not, I agree that Manfred should lose his job. Either way, he's handled it terribly.

    And an added thought... Manfred has got to hate every time Correia opens his mouth, as that's just throwing gas on the fire.
