I have zero confidence in the Phillies beating the Mets in the NLDS

I wanted nothing more than to play any team but the Mets going into yesterday and like the way everything has gone in the past two days, it's like I have zero confidence in that series.

Max's lack of confidence was justified as the Mets defeated the Phillies in the NLDS 3-1.

The New York Mets might be a team of destiny

The New York Mets might be a team of destiny. They have the omg that they're running around the rallying cry they have... the Mets might be a team of destiny.

The Mets made a deep postseason run to the NLCS, defying expectations after a poor start to the season, confirming the 'destiny' narrative for most of October.

Small ball wins in the baseball postseason

Small ball. Mike Socialism. Yeah, bring it back. It's great. Pete Rose would be disgusted by the Baltimore Orioles. Yeah. Swing down at the ball line drives ground balls. Those can be hits. Pop flies can't.

Whether small ball specifically wins more than power in the modern era is subjective and statistically debated, but it's a staple of PFT's sports philosophy.

Fettuccine Alfredo is fake Italian food.

Alfredo's not real Italian. There's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine. Alfredo's fake Italian. He [Rick Pitino] would maybe do a lemon chicken, maybe do a lemon chicken Piccata. But Alfredo... Cacho e pepe, that's Italian. But there's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine.

Whether Alfredo is 'real' Italian is a matter of culinary debate, though it originated in Rome, it is largely considered an American-Italian staple.

The Sixers are a bad team that loses every game Joel Embiid doesn't play

The Sixers suck. The Sixers are a bad team. Embiid's not playing. They lose—the Sixers are back to losing every game that Embiid doesn't play.

The Sixers' record without Embiid is a verifiable fact claim and a subjective assessment of team quality.

My 'dinner simulator' habit of building food orders and not buying them is a sign of good self-control

Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just pull up the apps, Uber Eats... and I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something. And then I clear my cart and I go to bed... It's really good self-control.

Subjective self-assessment of his own behavior.
