DAT 9/16: Astros (Sketti) @ Padres (Yu) 8:40

Mariners

3 vs Yankees

3 vs A's

3 vs Yankees - The Yankees suck, F the Yankees

4 @ Rangers - The Rangers suck, F the Rangers

3 @ Astros - the Astros suck at home

3 vs A’s - finally the Mariners will have to play a good team

It’s going to be a tight finish

We won't be tied and won't need the tiebreaker.

Win each series. We really probably don't have to do that. No way Seattle wins all their remaining games. Seattle loses at least 3. Win half our games and we are good.

This is correct. If the Astros take care of business, they won’t need a tiebreaker. In other words, win 1 in San Diego, beat the shite out of the Angels and win 1 or 2 against Seattle.

Holy crap, so sorry man. Thinking of you and everyone in your family and sons social circle to find peace and happiness moving forward

Hey man, I posted that gif without reading your post. Much love and prayer to your son and your family.

I’ve typed multiple things and then deleted because I can’t find the words to say. My heart dropped when reading your post(s). I am truly very sorry and please know that you and your family will genuinely be in my thoughts and prayers



I do not want to make this about me whatsoever, but I’m in my mid 30’s and have spent the last ~15 years diagnosed with treatment resistant major depressive disorder which has included multiple long stays at hospitals as an inpatient. I am nowhere near “healed” or where I want to be, but I have made progress.

I say all of this only because I want you (or your son) to feel free to contact me if you just need someone different who has dealt and is dealing with those struggles to be able to lend an ear.


God bless you man

Thanks everyone. Five-deep, I’ll probably take you up on that because I am so lost right now. He should eventually fully recover physically. The bullet was millimeters in any direction of being lethal. He currently has skull fragments and the bullet near the frontal lobe. The concern is that brain swelling from shockwave can take several days. If his brain swells and pushes against those fragments or the bullet, it would be disastrous.
The scary part is that he’s verbal but very disconnected. He has zero emotion, to the point of making dark jokes. “Good thing I did t use the twelve gauge, huh”.

Yeah I can’t imagine how you must feel and the millions of things going on in your head. Just make sure he knows you love him no matter what and will be with him side by side to fight this. If it wasn’t for my family and their support there is zero chance I’d still be here today. I know how much they love and care about me though and how ruined their lives would be if something did happen to me…and knowing that has kept me alive.


On the other hand, it is vital for you to also take care of yourself. You are experiencing things nobody should ever have to experience and probably have no idea what to do. Please talk to a professional or someone you trust and get some counsel. If you just bury everything deep inside it’ll make things worse in the long run. It helps so much to just talk to someone and unload your thoughts and feelings. I would highly recommend that for every member of your family
