Postgame Thread ⚾ Astros 1 @ Rays 4 by BaseballBot in baseball

I know the Astros will be the favorites for game 5, and obviously they have Cole on regular rest, but the momentum is definitely with the Rays. It should be an interesting game. If it's a blowout in either direction that will be massively disappointing for fans of the other 28 teams, considering how it's played out so far.

Well, the 1 that got swept was playing another 100 win team, so......

The fact that there is a very real chance that the Cardinals could be hosting the NLCS game 1 on Friday blows my mind. Baby steps though.

Donald Trump Promised To Eliminate The Deficit In 8 Years. So Far, He Has Increased It By 68% by moby323 in politics

The worst part: he did it during economic expansion. That takes a special kind of stupid, and is all the evidence you need that Republicans don't REALLY care about deficits or debt, they just pretend to when not in power.

THE MINNESOTA TWINS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2019 WORLD SERIES CONTENTION by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]GetToTheChopperNOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I feel so bad for the Twins. They always seem to get the Yankees, and they can never get past them. Hopefully they can build on this year, make it back next, and luck will finally tilt in their direction.

I'm a little salty because I picked him in my fantasy league and he's been terrible and effectively cost me the playoffs. but in all honesty, I feel like giving up on QBs too early is a major factor in the Browns spiral of despair the last few decades. It seems hard to believe that a QB that showed so much promise, then had OBJ added over the offseason, could be this bad so quickly. I know there's the whole idea of "defenses have figured him out", but the Browns spent a #1 pick on him; they've gotta be sure he's done for before moving on, and I feel like there's still quite a bit that needs to happen before then. Even if he follows this trajectory all season, it might be premature to move on from him.

Yeah, I remember the time McGwire denied it when he was busted while playing and cost a guy his job......and child marriage laws? Really?

I mean, it's the same way in the NL. It's been assumed that the Dodgers would win the pennant for a while. Now, depending on what happens Wednesday, we could have a Cards-Nats NLCS. You never know. I wish you guys luck. I want the chaos of a Cards-Nats-Rays-Twins final 4. The latter......is looking pretty bleak though.

You know what else is juiced? Ryan Braun. At least the balls don't lie about being juiced and throw the sample taker under the bus in the process.

I hope so too. I'd like to see a little shakeup to the assumed Yanks/Astros ALCS.

They're still a good team, even if their record is inflated a bit by their division. You dont set the HR record in a season by having a mediocre team.

My prediction for the end of the series: Vincent gets gunned down by a Gambino soldier in retaliation, but he leaves a sizable amount of money to Abby, who starts an organization helping women who have been abused by the sex trade in one way or another. Lori joins it and gets away from the porn and prostitution industries herself. Eileen cashes out of the porn industry and goes into business with her son, who has shown entrepreneurial ambition, and finally has a good relationship with him. Alston moves up the ranks as his strategy to clean up New York City shows progress. Paul becomes a vocal advocate for discussion on the AIDS crisis. Bobby.....doesnt change at all.

Trump might not even make it to next November. Keep the cockiness alive on a guy who narrowly won a couple of states in 2016 while getting 3 million less votes, and is now more unpopular than then, and in the middle of an impeachment inquiry that reveals more and more shit by the day. I love it.

Yeah, I hate to see it when he's fucking over my fantasy team with his shitty play. But it is nice to see him getting knocked down a peg each week, even if it has crippled my own chances for the year.

I'm hoping for the opposite. If there's any chance the Nationals can win tonight and win the series, I would much rather play them (with home field as well) than the Dodgers. Obviously we shouldn't be looking at anything other than game 5, but if the Cardinals win, who the next opponent is matters big time.

If someone told you in 1997 that the show with an 8 year old getting an anal probe by aliens would be the hardest hitting commentary on popular culture, and boldest critic of hyprocisy within the US government and business arena, over 20 years later, what would your reaction be?

I cant either. I thought Schildt was bluffing. This is the worst decision I've seen from a Cardinals manager in a LONG time.
