Didn't even turn it on last night. Best decision I've made in weeks.

Dana Brown trading for damaged goods (Varsho) and it being the only move he was allowed to make at the deadline is an all-timer. I'd give credit to Brown for being devious enough to trade for damaged goods, but that might be giving him too much credit.

And he's who Crane chose over two other fired GMs three years ago before turning over the operation to Bagwell. :wah:
Miss the days when only division winners got in. Not old enough to be around when you had to win the league and were in the World Series.

Much better than wild cards and interleague series for contenders in the final week of the season.
No the Beer Man 2-return game was earlier that year in Washington. But the 2 blocked punts were in Baltimore.

I had to look all of this up because my memory of specific details of games is shite.

I think a better way to phrase this was it took Brees alnost hus entire Saints career to beat the Ravens in general. We lost 2006, 2010, and 2014.


Correct. That is a good way to phrase it.

Streaks outside of division games are always tricky because teams aren’t scheduled by rotation to play a team outside of the division every year. Even trickier for NFC-AFC matchups.
Saints have only played there 4 times since 2002, counting today. They play there once every 8 years.

Brees never played there with the Chargers and lost his only game there in ‘10 before the ‘18 win.

Stats need context. Otherwise, they’re wildly misleading.
Hope his family sues the shite out of Ole Miss, the security team or lack thereof, and the people who did it to him. And hope every Ole Miss fan in that bathroom gets served a subpoena to testify in court.
Moore needs to figure it out with the gameplan and get this team off to faster starts. They routinely dig themselves a hole, and it's a disservice to a damn good young QB and a salty defense.
He has the moxie to overcome his offensive coaches' poor weekly gameplanning. He shouldn't have to come back from double digits every time he wins a game.
Left the bases loaded with no one scoring in the fifth. Leadoff walk, 2 cheap hits, and a no-doubt (to anyone but Kalas) HR to allow first 4 runners to score in the next half-inning. Sums up the season perfectly.

At least the Saints won.
We still doing this? I guess we've reached the "we're just here so we don't get fined" portion of the season.

Wanted to see something more lame than Blake Baker so I pulled up this box score.


Joe Espada
Bryan Abreu
Blake Baker
Sam Leavitt

The first two won't be on my team after next Sunday.

Hoping the last two won't be on my team after November.

Beyond the mess at GM, I have a real fear of sleepy joe continuing to “lead” this team next year.


I have a bigger fear Brad Ausmus will either be manager or the puppet GM.

Altuve doesn’t bring anything to the table anymore. He’s been the dude with the fuzzy nuts for a decade, but if the team is so shitty they can’t even make the playoffs or move past the first round, he’s just another player taking shitty at bats.

The Red Sox are gonna go 0-6 in the state of Texas. Thanks a lot, Massholes.


Happy to be wrong. FTR.
The Red Sox are gonna go 0-6 in the state of Texas. Thanks a lot, Massholes.

Speaking of assholes, why did Sleepy Joe pitch Hader with a 4 run lead when Abreu threw 5 pitches?

Obviously you can't say Jeff Bagwell or Brad Ausmus, Crane already picked them


Anybody but them, and Scott Servais and Jerry DiPoto.

It’s not even remotely competitive


Soft liners and pop-ups. When people complain baseball has become too reliant on 3 true outcomes, this team is the poster child. You can see it in all of the upper-cut swings, even with 2 strikes and down 2 runs.
Mid-South Wrestling in the Houston/Louisiana/Oklahoma/Mississippi territories.

It will be a miracle if they win a game in this series.


I said this yesterday. The Astros got 4 hits from 2 guys, 3 of the hits being HRs, and no hits from the other 7 guys in the lineup. So like I said, it was a miracle they won.

They can’t be this dumb


They are.
Or just wear a patch and be done with it. There's no need for everyone to be the same number, even on Jackie Robinson Day.
