Yeah, but now we're BACK!!!


Back, as in bowing out in the first round.

If winning a world series were easy, the Cubs would do it more often.

I've tried that for several SEC Championship games and last years National Title Game.  It just leads to disappointment.

Fuck Georgia.

Waino just announced he'll be coming back in 2023.

Hollup...whutt?

Tell him to have a chat with Tom Brady first about doing that.

He actually had a pretty decent reasoning for his September slide.  He took a ball off his knee in August, and said it shortened his stride (but I say, no one in the clubhouse caught that?  You have a hall of fame catcher, and he didn't say anything?  More stat guys than the number of Fuck Georgias that Snags says in a given day, and none of them caught anything?  More of an indictment of the manager than Waino).

I don't give a sweet flippity bippity who wins. Maybe Houston just for the Dusty Baker factor. On the other hand, I kind of want to see Bryce Young get a ring.  (Said no one ever outside his family) 

To me, BY is one of those athletes who most fans are judging the book by its cover. He comes off as cocky, brash and full of himself.  You see the home run derby antics, the YUGE contract, and him charging the mound etc.  He gets booed in every city every time he steps to the plate.

Now, I'm just basing this off what I've seen and heard personally.  It may be a small sampling, and he may have pulled some jerk store moves I'm not aware of.  But, I've heard him mic'd up twice during games, one against my Bravos.  Both times, the guy came off humble and really complimentary of other players and teams.  Seemed to have a huge respect for the game. I've heard numerous interviews and you get the same.

Not saying I'm a big Harper fan, just that the times I've heard the guy speak, he gives me a totally different perspective than his on field persona. But then.......he may be a total asshole.

All I took from this thread is that Snags wants ZJs from Bryce Harper and Bryce Young.

I feel some bitch cuttin' comin' on

I had just smoked a fatty and thrown back 3 shots of Patron, so I can't be held accountable.  Although a ZJ from either Bryce would be glorious.

I always had a problem with Bobby Cocks coached teams during his era.  They were as more talented as anyone in baseball, but their approach was all business. 

Yeah, they should have won at least 3 more.

They also looked like dried dog shit running bases.  Lonie Smith not scoring on Pendelton's long double.  Little league shit.  Let's not forget the bright idea of bringing in a pitcher to face a legend whose batting average against said pitcher was eleventy thousand gazillon with 10 megamillion home runs.  And that last bolded part.  That is why I will never consider Cox up there with the Torres, LaRussa's, Leyland's, Anderson's and Bochy's of the world.
