  1. That is fucking awesome. In honor of the 50th anniversary, I would have gone with the Jaws analogy: "Mr. Manfred, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, a Dodger-beating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is pitch and hit and make little pitchers and hitters, and that's all. Now, why don't you take a long, close look at this second baseman. [gestures to 5'5" Altuve] Those proportions are correct."
  2. I was thinking about this trade the other day when shaking my head in disbelief about the plethora of LH options currently in our bullpen. Wasn't that long ago when we were all in on Britton because Tony Sipp was the only lefty in the pen. Instead of giving up Moran and a couple of farm arms, we had to trade Teoscar for Liriano to get another lefty. I guess it was worth it since he recorded an out in Game 7.
  3. Did the mike just pick up an “ooooooh, shit!” From Trammell?
  4. Rojas lucky to not card an E there. I think the standard not to assume a double play is dumb. That was a tailor made 5-4-3. He came up a little… short on that swing.
  5. Walker for Freeman straight up. Make LA say no.
  6. I was just thinking that for such an iconic franchise, they are truly embarrassing.
  7. That was really weird to watch. I mean it worked, but felt wrong. Never seen that before.
  8. I’m enjoying seeing the Game 7 jerseys in Dodger Stadium again.
  9. 1B - Tyler Hardman 2B - Clyde Horne SS - Dick Groat, Dickie Thon 3B - Alonzo Longware, Jim Cockman LF - Johnny Dickshot CF - Rocco Baldelli RF - Romeo Simoni C - Billy Boner P - Randy Johnson, Hardee Henderson RP - Dick Lovelady, Rocky Cherry, Hank Boney
  10. Dick Lovelady sighting. Have we done a porn name all star team here yet?
  11. As soon as I saw that he’d been DFA’d, I knew Dana would bring him in. Very low risk acquisition with a lot of upside.
  12. No. That’s exactly seven fathoms.
  13. I fail to comprehend how an Astros fan in 2025 can be nervous about a series in the first week of July. We’ve been in a golden age for a decade. It don’t make a shit until September.
  14. Another series win. Keep it rolling, boys.
  15. We’re not even in the top half of the league. https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/runners-left-in-scoring-position-by-team-this-year
  16. At first I was like, "what a crummy lineup." Then I looked at the bench...
  17. Cui bono? It makes no fucking sense that the medical staff would lie about player injuries. There's no benefit to it. Y'all need to grow up and realize that in the real world, medical diagnoses and treatment plans have a measure of uncertainty and error.
  18. Yes, because this is all an exact science with rigid timelines and no one ever has a setback.
  19. Prompted by an article I read this morning about how red hats fetishize the Declaration of Independence and are planning public readings of the document this week, I gave it a re-read this morning. It's fascinating as a historical document, but people forget that it has no role as an establishing document for our government. One aspect of the document that caught my eye at this particular moment in our history is the listing of grievances and evidence of tyranny presented against King George III. Couldn't help but notice some striking parallels with our wannabe tyrant: He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither... Concerted effort to delegitimize birthright citizenship He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices... Though he hasn't been completely successful with this, it's clear that he considers the judges he appointed beholden to him He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance... DOGE He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures... Mobilizing the CA guard without consent from CA governor or legislature For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us... Marines in LA For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world... Tariff war For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.. Tariff war For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury... Suspension of due process for deportees For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences... El Salvador prison - but this one's a stretch I guess since Trump offers no pretense of a trial He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us... January 6th Except for the last one, this is all in just the last 5 months.
  20. Too bad we are done with the Cubs...
  21. Way easier to find examples of this than teams that have mashed their way to a World Series win.
  22. Can't even list all of the times this has happened. A mediocre offense that finds ways to score and two lockdown starters. The two that come to mind immediately are the '01 D-Backs and (GODAMMIT!) the '19 Nats. It's like having a lights out defense and serviceable QB in the NFL.
