    Oh, and the Indians' lineup sucks.  Other than that, it's a good match-up.

    But yes, the 5-gamer will scare me the most regardless of the opponent, just because a shorter series has more variance, and it'll take variance for anybody to beat Houston.

    Astros are 6-1 in the ALDS the last two years so we got that going for us.

  2. Wonder what kind of bump Greinke gets in his numbers switching from the NL to AL and working with Strom.  If it's anything like the CFM / Cole bumps we're going to wreck fucking shop.

    Hell, I think we're going to wreck fucking shop any way.  This isn't quite 2017 Verlander big, but it's pretty damn big.

    In a baseball game some batters have had more advantages over others.  Two people with the same athletic ability don't have the same opportunity to hit the ball.  One may have had:

    1. A culture (family or community) which introduced him to baseball later in life

    2. Inferior coaching

    3. Discriminatory treatment by Little League coaches

    4. Unsupportive parents

    5. Pressure to play other sports or study instead of practicing baseball.

    And many more.

    But if I'm the umpire I don't care.  A strike is a strike and a ball is a ball.  I'm not even going to pay attention to who the batter si or who the pitcher is.

    If it's a church picnic I'll give 5 year old Susie extra strikes and easy pitches.  And I won't cut 14 year old Billy, who plays high school ball, any slack.  But in MLB a ball is a ball and a strike is a strike.

    Is there a point to all this horseshit?

    People that send work emails over the weekend that can easily wait until Monday morning.  No one is impressed that you’re working over the weekend writing a work email.

    And if it’s something that you need to write, set it to send Monday AM.

    When I can invoice $1,800 for the day because I was “working”, you damn well better believe the email is being sent on Saturday.

    CSB.  I played street hockey with squints shortly after the Sandlot came out.  One of the older kids in our neighborhood, who happened to be best friends with my friend's older brother, was cast in the Big Green along with squints, so he came out to our neighborhood to hang out and play hockey.  /CSB.  

    Did your best friend’s older brother’s neighbor pass out at 31 Flavors?

    Cheers Bar, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.  Met a nice friendly girl there named Grace.  You know, Amazing Grace.

    Been there, done her.  Wait, never did Grace; it was Precious and her “cousin” Patience that rocked my world.

    But Cheers bar in PH isn’t even close to the nastiest bar I’ve been in.  Hell, I can’t even think of the worst one and that’s probably a good thing.
