  1. if we keep it close in ohio, it's all over but the crying.
  2. not to be that guy, but i think certain professional athletes have to have that attitude or mentality. ace pitchers, quarterbacks, professional golfers a lot of the time. they need to get themselves to a place mentally and i'm willing to let most of that slide if the performance is there. once i saw jv come back up from the clubhouse with no sleeves in g2 at dodger stadium, i knew i had seen enough.
  3. the only polls that matter are local to michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona, georgia, and nevada. polling in any other state is masturbation.
  4. all the players seem to love our clubhouse culture and i seriously doubt it's because they're a bunch of divas who are detached from their teammates.
  5. after this glorious saturday i'm expecting all sorts of lineup fuckery tomorrow.
  6. if the mets don't sign him i'm not sure who else can afford those numbers. cubs maybe? seems like the dodgers and yankees have a lot committed. i guess the angels maybe re-sign him? the funny thing about the shitty ass mets is they're actually doing things the smart way, if that's possible. the way you win these days is to have a bunch of your own guys who are young and controlled contribute, and you add in a guy here or there through trade or fa. the one thing you can't buy is prospects, unless you do what the mets are doing. if cohen has unlimited funds (he does) then they should be adding all the scherzers and verlanders every offseason and worst case you dump them for prospects like he did this year, essentially buying prospects. i'd rather be a mets fan than an angels fan right now.
  7. what are the odds we ever see this lineup again?
  8. smaller than zero? what you're describing is how it should work and has always worked in tv. popular shows stay on the air longer and the actors/writers get paid more, because the ad revenue is higher. netflix changed the model and here we are.
  9. i saw elba somewhere promoting it, or maybe heard him on smartless talking about it, but one of the first things he mentioned was that it was 7 hour-long episodes to simulate 7 real-life hours on the plane, so that was supposed to be some sort of hook, like 24. seemed more like a coincidence.
  10. trump thinks both of the last two elections were rigged and he fucking won one of them.
  11. this show is just glorifying the blantons demand on the secondary market.
  12. they're using antiquated polling like "approval rating" because that shit mattered 20 years ago. if biden's approval rating was 42% that doesn't mean that 58% of likely voters are going to vote for trump. also the big poll that came out recently that got some traction with the media had to include a double sample of republicans. do you know why? because it's hard to find people who are registered republicans. there's a reason for that.
  13. one of the most creative negative chants of all time! i love how proud they are of themselves. remember when joe biden was so shameless that he repurposed it to make a 9 year old autistic kid feel better? https://www.today.com/parents/parents/phrase-go-brandon-made-one-little-boy-autism-feel-loved-rcna33287 he's a dark, dark bastard.
  14. trade for a left-handed bat, they said.
  15. does anyone have a link? my normal ones aren't working. anaheim is the only market that fucks me.
  16. we love physical. the other list is pretty good. as for hijack, not sure what you could "spoil", the show was too shitty for spoilers. screenwriting 101 - if you're going to give a guy a unique job and imply that he's good at it, you need to show the audience some scenes where he's actually being good at it, not just have him say, "this is what i do".
  17. i thought he lived at san vicente bungalows.
  18. well at least you spelled pena right.
  19. this game wasn't about the 9th. it was about the 7th and mountcastle hitting that homer. coming back from 3 down again late was going to be a problem against arguably the best bullpen in the league. (i know the nyy have the best bullpen era but not sure there's a better tandem of cano and felix back there)
  20. i want him to be justin verlander when he grows up, but if he's a 90 pitch / 6 inning guy right now (allowing ~2er and getting 5-7k) then i'm fucking stoked. he's our sp4 at best, assuming javier ever pulls it together. most teams would kill for that profile. in the playoffs, i'd like him to be a flamethrower who can get 3-6 big outs in the middle/middle-late innings. i've only been begging for such a piece for half a decade now.
  21. yainer just took one to the wall. i don't care if he ever catches again (obviously i do) but he needs to be our everyday dh. we need his bat in this lineup 8 days a week. a blind man could tell you that.
  22. they're joking about abreu grabbing that pop-up, but i think altuve wanted to drop it on purpose and get 2. now it's 3-2. hilarious.
