I know we're likely not going to get a Lineup of Death but if Abreu is what we all thought he was and Tucker starts to get back into a groove along with Breggy you can get that LOD 1-8 that I'm not sure we've really seen at the height of their powers.

The fact that we have Uncle Mike batting 6th...SIXTH in our lineup is ridiculous and I mean that in a good way. Also Chas was starting to make good contact last night going 2-3 and if we can get ALCS/WS Pena (we already got it from him defensively) my Lord we have a lineup that can score A LOT.

Do y'all really all have jobs that you can't leave early or just watch the game on your phone?


I'll take questions whose answer is "yes" for $2000 Alex.

My resting heart rate jumped 20 BPMs in the 8th and 9th yesterday - truly impressive to be able to do what these guys do in the moment.

Same. And it didn't help that my daughter, who is an evil genius emotional manipulator at age 12 and knows I don't trust Pressly, kept saying "Uh oh, dad…" every time he threw a ball. And then when he struck out the last batter she says, "See? It's fine. Well, g'night."

Really enjoyed the ALCS highlight videos posted on the previous page.

It was a nice reminder that we swept the Yankees and slapped Philly around last year with a legitimate black hole at DH the entire time (Mancini and Aledyms Diaz). I think they had 1 combined hit and maybe 1 sack fly RBI the entire ALCS & World Series.

Let's just say I'm pretty confident with what we have at the plate this year. Time for a Repeat!

Watching Flipping Bats and their coverage of the locker room celebration and it dawned on me, some poor schlubs that work for the Twins had to put up all the wrapping in the visitor locker room, setup the champagne bottles and everything else knowing the opposing team might just be celebrating after disposing of their favorite team.

GOD I hope the choads that work for the rangerettes have to do that Thursday or Friday.

Ryan Gosling looks like some sort of neo-Nazi, Aryan villain from an old James Bond flick. Like circa early-80's.

Saw an interview where he said he channeled his inner mickey mouse club self for that role. He was a treat to watch.

I have one of those. 12 yr old future husband better enjoy the next decade or so.

Right up there with my wife deciding to take an interest in the Astros season when they're down a couple of runs in the World Series and declaring "Uh oh, they aren't doing good."

You want to scream about 106 wins and 4-0 sweeps of the Yankees but the worst part is that it's all pointless.

Harper intentionally walked in the 1st. Yordan may not see a pitch the rest of the postseason.

Not a fan. Although I like the cap they wear with the blues.

I suspect Yordan is going to get a steady diet of uncompetitive ABs. If Tuck and Captain Lou pick him up it is a losing strategy.

Frankly we shouldn't be giving Seager anything to hit either.

I feel sorry for the poor ******* who lost the bet and had to have a locker next to Marsh. That has to stink to high Heaven.

Yeah I thought about that but it is THEIR locker room so I figured they would want to ensure it's wrapped up nice and tight so it doesn't become an absolute putrid mess in there.

Maybe Ketch can enlighten us.

Strider living on the edge. How much longer can he keep up this Houdini act?

Phillies
Blue Jays
Rangers
Royals
Brewers (Not sure on that one)

For me you still can't top the Padres yellow and brown from the 70s and 80s.

And I google search it, and even though it's one picture of a billion, Steve Garvey still looks like a D8bag.
