What's it say about Baltimore that people just automatically assume everyone who lives there knows The Wire by heart?  

If we don't get 1:1, I'm okay with it as long as we've ruined Boston's season.  I will slowly sip Sox fans tears with a smile on my face.

**** New England and their sports.

You don't sip chowdah.

I had actually never seen it until I binged the entire series during 2020 Covid house arrest.

At this point, I wouldn't mind spoiling Toronto's chances as well.  But, if we lose tonight and Arizona wins, I will shift gears on a dime and say, let's just get swept and hope for another Dbacks win, lol!!

I really can't characterize the feeling as "exciting" but it's better than many alternatives.  Ryan Mountcastle going yard on Pivetta was orgasmic for a guy without a prostate*, however!

* @Tony-OH btw - had the prostatectomy and it went well, all things considered.  Had cancer, as many of we old farts do there including many of my surviving friends, but nothing further discovered yet (lymph nodes clear).  PSA tests to come in December and June to follow up.

While you directed this to Tony, it's good to hear some good news.  Wishing you the best.

Wait a min - did you mean "olde"?  Get your PSA's yearly boys!  I failed to the past two years and it got me!  I've been walking since they removed the catheter (?).  Today I plan to play just a few holes walking to see how everything reacts.  So all good!

Just about everybody I know has had prostate cancer, I remember what the doctor said, “you’re not going to die from prostate cancer, but you may well die with prostate cancer.” And what he meant was that it’s relatively easy to treat and not an incredibly big deal. I’m not trying to make light of your situation, I’m sure it will be mine in the next six months, just trying to share some positive spin.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.

      Looking for a big performance from him next week. This is why he’s here.

      It was R-R-L-R coming up. Cano is the guy Hyde matches up against the toughest hitters. Yes, those guys got to him the previous game but that is his job and Hyde also probably saw a redemption opportunity to get his confidence back after a tough outing. I don't see why that was bad move except in hindsight it didn't work out. Congrats if you called it in the game thread.

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.
