2024-2025 NFL Season II Pink Pony Club [ARCHIVED] Football • Page 1771

I feel like the move puts them into a position where Aaron Boone doesn't actually have to manage as much which is likely a net improvement

That is, if the team isn't just cursed and Bellinger is who he just was

 

oh god i forgot they got bellinger lol

 

My only commentary on the last five pages is to go out and talk to random people when you’re doing an activity.

 

I am not on the "Boone is the worst" train. I don't love everything he does, but I think 99.9% of the time he's going by the numbers, so yelling and screaming about it is stupid. Anyone else they hire is going to do the same thing. The team apparently likes him and on the list of Yankees managers, he's relatively high on the list of total wins. People like to bitch and complain.

Verdict: It is what it is. Players have to play and win

 

I think he's pretty ass but what do I know, he made a World Series, not easy to do

Just an opinion and not an educated one from me

 

Been struggling for years (and even my whole life) with socializing with others. Growing up autistic was tough. Didn’t make my first friend until I was nine years old in third grade. Had a lot of acquaintances throughout grade school, but only a handful of friends that I remained in consistent contact with after high school.

Flash-forward to my years in college and my social life actually kinda boomed for a few years, which was great, but then things kinda changed around the time I got sober and dropped out of college for a bit. I had more free time, but I didn’t see people a ton and that continued to wane as the years went on. I know for a fact that I’ve had friends tell me I wasn’t invited to certain get-togethers because there would be a lot of drinking involved. It was understandable, but still tough to hear.

Over the last five years, it’s gotten worse. People are settling down, having kids…one of my best friends moved to Denver a few years ago. I remember when I could text my friends and ask them what they were up to that night or that weekend and we’d get together. Now I’m lucky if they can fit me into their plans for the month.

And I get it, that’s all a part of getting older, but it still sucks. It sucks that people are like “Hey, sorry we’re/I’m busy that day, but I’ll get back to you” and then they never do. I just got to thinking about a couple I used to be close with ten or so years ago that I just never see or hear from anymore and I’m just tired of trying with them when it always results in them bailing.

It sucks that, most of the time, one of my good friends only ever wants to play Halo together, which would be fine if he actually wanted to socialize while we play, but it always results in him taking the dogshit game too seriously and raging and I’m like “Man, just do something else.”

Even my buddies that I get together and jam with, they’re always so stoked to be working on something, then I reach out to schedule another jam sesh and its radio silence. Like, man, at some point I’m just not interested in getting together when it’s only convenient to you. I understand that people are busy, but I am too so if you actually care enough to want to do this, show some respect and just let me know what dates do or don’t work for you instead of just not responding for a month.

Anyway, go birds

 

i quite enjoy being social and out and about, our circle is just getting smaller with people moving or whatever and the idea of meeting new people is what gives me anxiety lol

wish i could just skip the hesitation around making friends and just jump to the next step already cuz i do great once that already happens lol

 

I think Boone's in-game adjustments aren't as bad as people make them seem and that him being bad is more from just how prepared the team is to play in general, the staffing under him, etc

 

I used to have game nights with friends just about every Friday and that went on for years. Now it’s been months since my last one and I’m cryin bro

 

i like having a beard and long hair, two things i have

 

I can’t read:(

 

Do I think he should ignore the stats more than he does? Of course, but I don't think the Yankees would ever hire a manager who does that again. So what's the point of bringing in someone new to do the same thing, especially if Boone liked in the clubhouse? Just to shake things up and maybe fuck with the culture and risk making things much worse?

Unless something changes in the way the game is run, in 15 or so years, everyone is going to go by the numbers and the matchups, etc. Old school managers that pay attention to hot streaks and gut are few and far between and getting fewer and further, so..... it is what it is

 

My circle has gotten so small over the years and I just don't have the patience to try to schedule with people that only do it when it works for them. I get being busy and stuff, but it also takes 5 seconds to send a text or look at your calendar. I just think how important something is to someone is shown through their effort.

That being said I hate the anxiety that comes with meeting new people so I just don't do it on my own. I really just meet new people through mutual friends now.

 

I do think it’s funny that Yankees fans kept saying how bad Roberts was and then he ended up having an incredible managing run this last postseason lol

 

how did berating your female co-workers go

 

Making new friends in real life is impossible for me, I do not do well trying to meet new people at all. That initial friend making period is miserable for me and I over analyze literally everything I do lol

 

Making new friends is the worst. We get along well with one of our older daughter's friend's parents and they live down the street, but they're big drinkers and we're not, so going and doing something without the kids is tough. And any time I'm around other parents at like dance or sports, everyone is usually on their phone, so, I just end up putting headphones in and the cycle continues

 

it’s called constructive feedback

 

It also doesn’t help my social battery has been completely depleted

 

Deplete DEEZ

 

okay

 

I know and Im sorry. I shouldnt have said that

 

lmao

this was funny
