  1. And another one.
  2. Here we go with the umps. Fucking christ.
  3. I'd be fine with him not being on the roster. He ain't what he used to be. He hasn't been for a long time. And now he's getting injured every time he pitches.
  4. The HW division in boxing has been thin as fuck for a long time. It's gotten even worse as dudes have blown up in size. Usyk is considered to be too small and a complete runt for a HW, yet he's exactly the same size Ali was when he was fighting. Maybe even a few pounds heavier at this point. And as size has gone up, boxing skill has fallen off a cliff. It's just huge guys who can hit really hard. As for Fury, he's a paper tiger and anyone that really pays attention to boxing has known it for a long time. Of course, it gets more engagement, clicks, views, etc. for the media to prop him up as an ATG HW and whatnot, but his resume is thin as single ply toilet paper. He has victories over two notable guys. A 39 year old Wlad Klitschko in a snoozer of a fight that was essentially a hug-fest. Neither guy deserved to win. It was that bad. Then, he was going to get popped for PEDs so he made up a story about mental health and disappeared to avoid the heat. Never gave Wlad a rematch. When he comes back he's fighting Cruiserweights like Sam Seferi. Realizes he has to have a belt to be relevant whatsoever. Does he fight AJ? Nope. He goes after Wilder. A can crusher who literally has never had a notable, elite opponent. A one-trick pony who is awful at everything else. Takes Fury three fights to put that whole thing to bed and it wasn't easy for him either. The second fight was the only one where he looked truly dominate. Once those fights are done does he challenge AJ or Usyk? Nope. Right back to cheese fights against his pal Chisora and a shot-to-hell Whyte. Fury has made his career on avoiding the tougher fights and just being the bigger guy who grabs and leans on people. He doesn't have real power. He had good movement and boxing for a guy his size, but not taking care of himself and age have severely diminished those qualities. That's why Francis looked so good against him. He couldn't bully Francis and tire him out in the clinch. Once that was off the table Fury was completely lost on what to do. He legit hit Francis with an elbow and it didn't do a fucking thing. He got massively exposed in this fight. And I imagine he's going to do everything he can to wiggle out of fighting Usyk. He certainly can't handle Usyk by the 23rd of December. Seven weeks? Usyk will eat him alive. Props to the announcers, btw, who said Fury was shaped like a six foot nine bag of milk. 🤣
  5. If the bottom of the lineup can wake the fuck up and hit the ball (plus Semien), this series is done. If they continue to do nothing, this thing is gonna be a nail-biter that goes 7. Here's hoping Adolis is gonna be fine. Cause boy oh boy we need him.
  6. Give him the game ball. He was nails.
  7. By the way, that ump? Ranked 76th. The ump union might actually be worse than police unions at this point. Fucking embarrassing shit all around.
  8. Great win but we're down Scherzer and Adolis? Fuck, man.
  9. Whew. I swear playoff baseball is bad for the fucking heart, man. I need a drink.
  10. Fucking bring in the robots already.
  11. If the umps cost us this fucking game. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  12. Hah. Notice I said "he's gotten this far" through the playoffs without Chapman burning us down. Still plenty of time.
  13. Leclerc gave up the bomb to Altuve. Which game am I forgetting?
  14. I swear, Bruce Bochy must have been a saint in a past life. Dude lives a charmed fucking life. He's made it all this way through the postseason without Aroldis completely fucking us up.
  15. Did that just fucking happen?!?!
  16. All of this. He was fucking dealing. Leave him in another inning.
  17. Welp. We all knew Chapman was gonna burn the house down and ruin a game for us. Somehow we dodged that shit until now. But the bill was always coming due.
  18. Buckle up, buckaroos.
  19. Please add some runs before we get the Aroldis Chapman Experience.
  20. Even Semien fuckups can't stop Gray. Nice. Let him keep going, IMO.
  21. Goddamn Gray lookin good. Fanning these motherfuckers.
  22. Great job by Gray. Damn we needed him to be solid and he's delivering.
  23. They literally picked a bunch of guys nowhere near the top of the umpiring heap for accuracy. I'm surprised they didn't really just shove it in everyone's face and trot Angel Hernandez out there.
