This aged well.

Don't look now...but the Reds are in-between those two.

How would you like to be San Diego and have the 2nd best record in baseball and still be 2 games out for your division?

[Snaggletiger]

Took 3 of 4 from the Nats, then got on a bus and went up the road to Baltimore, where the Orioles administered a 14-1 anal raping.  Went in dry.

Playoffs will be interesting this year.  Some new faces scattered in with some old ones.  The Astros will somehow limp in and will probably set the record for hit batsmen in the LDS round.
Waiting for the Orioles to make it so they can face off against the Braves/Cards winner for the whole ball of wax.

You know, for years I have always thought you were one of the funniest posters on here.  Your wit and timing are legendary.  And here you go with another web gem.  Kudos!

18-3???  Sweet Barking Jesus. 

Cards suck.

But they won the fight after

There seems to be a lot of that crap happening.  18-3 in your game.  We got beat 14-1 the night before.  Scored 29 a week ago.  The Yank Me's were up 20-3 last night last time I saw it. 

Here's what I think is happening.  I've heard critics say this many times, but last night was the first time I started to believe it.  I think I watched 9 fly ball outs in a row from the Braves. It's like they're coming out of their shoes trying to go yard on every swing.  And the announcers are right there with it.  Every call is, "Just missed that one."  "Got under it just a bit."

From the get the hell off my lawn department...whatever happened to your lead off man being the slap hitter who would get on any way possible and a threat to steal a base every time?  The two spot was the guy who could handle the stick (Mmmm....) and would find a way to get the lead off man in scoring position.  Then your 3, 4 and 5 hitters could drive the ball. 

Our lead off hitter is Ronald Acuna'.  Yes, he's fast but he needs a chiropractor after every game just to get his spine back in place.   

[AUJarhead]

Could be Snags, or could be that shortened spring/summer training is hurting the pitchers?  We expected some sort of asskicking on the Cards because of their schedule and double headers, so I can at least explain it for them.  Thin staff.  I dunno.

I blame Buzz, to be honest.  He's got a voodoo doll for the Cards and Braves.

Buzz is always at the center of it.

BTW, totally random hijack here.  You seemed a bit flustered last night.  Feathers ruffled, if I may. Pissed even.  I didn't ask on the bookfaces, but there's only 3 people here.  Did a board member personally single out your wife?

Yes.  At the monthly board meeting, he (an elected member of the school board) slammed my wife, who is teaching his child, saying that she's (my wife) not doing her job, and how she refused to engage with him (he's never called/email, but his wife has - and my wife has responded within an hour to her) and how his daughter is struggling (My wife has made a zoom video just for his daughter, who for some reason, will not click on the link) and it's all my wife's fault.

Yeah, she totally sucks.




It can't be my lazy daughter's fault, so it has to be the teacher!  Isn't it great when those fools get a little bit of political power?

[Snaggletiger]

At a board meeting?  Serious conflict of interest when a board member is ripping his own child's teacher.  And you were 100% correct last night in calling him a coward.


And BTW, I have been known travel in my quest to cut a bitch.

Wait, you mean to tell me that some of y'all don't believe that the Cubs will shit the bed, the Cards take the Central and then we watch the Bravos and Cards in the NLCS???
