40/70 is pretty fucking awesome.

He has the capability of doing close to that for the next few years, if he stays healthy.  We've been lucky to get a full season from him this year.  Acuna has had a tendency to lollygag, or watch what he thinks is a HR (when it wasn't), but when he goes after anything in the field, or on the bases, he's balls out.  I've held my breath 1,000 times this year after a play.

The Wildcard playoff games started yesterday, one of which was the Rangers at the Rays. There were only 19,700 fans there.  That franchise has been and incredibly consistent winner over the years, but their attendance is always near the bottom.  Now, you have a half full stadium for a playoff game?  Time to consider relocating.

There’s an empty stadium in Mobile.

I'm sick of watching this same horror movie over and over and over. 

Dead bats in October. Win the division, fold like a bitch.

I loathe the Phillies and despise Harper.

Didn’t watch. Don’t care. I did hear the wife bitching and moaning about how the Braves got bitch slapped though. So I assumed it was the same thing they usually do each year. CHOKE!

I was fine with last season.  They shot their wad digging out of a huge hole to take over the division.  Ran into a Phillies team that started playing great at the right time. Same thing with the Phillies this year, but the Braves were easily the best overall team in baseball the entire season.  The offensive numbers were staggering, and their line up gave you no breaks from top to bottom.  And then...

Silence!

8 runs total in 4 games, and 5 of those came in Game#2. Inexplicable.

Just noticed a Snitker on the back of a uniform for the Astros. Turns out it's Troy Snitker hitting coach and son of Braves skipper Brian.

Yeah I was fine with either team. No Stros, No Phils - we all won.

You speak for many. I await the relocation to Vegas because my squad has mailed it in until then.
