I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial.
All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals.
Talk about long lasting pain ...
Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line.
I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season.
I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve, the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.
Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game.
Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
This series loss is really tough to get over. As much as I’m not surprised by it, it’s such a disappointment. I keep thinking of that sequence of Ced’s HR and bases loaded, and we somehow couldn’t come away with the lead. That was absolutely demoralizing. It’s hard to not accidentally score a run there.
A RH power bat to stick somewhere in the 3-4-5 slots. I would see what the Giants might want in a trade for Heliot Ramos. He hit .370 / .439 / .750 against LH pitchers this year, and would look awesome in the middle of all our lefty batters.
