I prefer to leave Poch behind. He made magic last time, but this is a true mess. Let’s keep one happy memory.

Don’t be so down on the team. It’s hard to play at Villa Park…oh, um, forget I said anything.

The card is complex. The game is fun for me, but it is all I know. I tried to play Mahjong Time, but it confused me.

There are clubs that appear to know how to acquire players. Perhaps Spurs should look into this.

I sometimes think that our #Mets are stuck in the world of the β€œthree true outcomes.” Yesterday, they had two home runs out of five hits. They struck out ten times. AI tells me that they average 7.96 hits per game (23rd in MLB).

I’d like to see more hits and fewer strikeouts. Bat to ball. #LGM

Gary said the Mets have no hits since the fourth. Sigh. #LGM

I was the only man at a mini-tournament. Someone came by, pointed, and said β€œthere’s a man here” like it was the girl’s locker room.

It is a fun game.

I often mutter that the game should be called regret.

You should have seen the agitation in the American Mahjong groups. How dare they make a mistake! The horror! We paid for that card!

BTW, the replacement card was free. And the NMJL has always sent their net proceeds to charities. So, yes, weirdly American, but not capitalistic.

I love how cool Spence looks in his portrait. The photographer probably said β€œgive me some excitement!” Spence looked at him and said β€œjust watch me play.”

pressure.club Join the club where you build yourself and succeed against all odds.

This is a fascinating negotiation. Cohen doesn’t like the terms, Boras claims some sort of standard deal exists for players like Pete. The lack of interest in Pete and the club saying time is running out adds pressure. Pete has no leverage beyond being a fan favorite.

Pete takes the deal.
