Will probably have a little traffic. That being said, if y’all want to stay hidden in your own hideout down here, I feel you. This has been our place for ten years. I love this little hideout. tl;dr, putnam6, youngbloodz and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know enough that if we beat LA we should realistically have a chance but I also know Houston takes after the Patriots with their underhanded BS…. Every great story needs a villain. Houston is perfect in that role. Our plucky protagonists are gonna kick ‘em in the junk with spiked cleats.

ATLBham Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I can’t stop thinking of the game yesterday and how everyone felt. Rosario deserved the NLCS MVP and Matzek was the Game 6 MVP. One of the most satisfying wins I have ever experienced. Let’s go and win the whole thing.

Matzek had a movie ending type of performance there. He had Steve Blass Syndrome and was out of the league. Then, he did that. There legitimately could be a Disney movie about this one day.

I ordered some stuff last night and it may not even ship till the 3rd WTH Fanatics is the worst. Since they took over most sports apparel has become boring, cookie cutter, and terrible quality. I limit my purchases to some Nike products and mostly ‘47 brand. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only left as Jays GM because they hired a president of operations instead of promoting him. Jays haven't had October success since he left. We gave Anthopolous all the titles. He's president and GM. Not very deep in baseball. How good of a GM is he? Did he just get lucky this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a great GM. He built Toronto into a winner and ended their playoff drought. After his displeasure with his higher ups in Toronto he went to the Dodgers FO and helped build that roster as a special assistant to the GM.

The restrictions are done. But there's a pretty sizable gap in the pipeline. You can see it the lower levels now. The drafts have been good, the cupboard won't be completely bare, but I'm worried its going to get like 2012-14 for awhile where you have a talented major league team but no way to get depth through either promotion or trading... which means hoping you get it right in free agency.

Smart teams use free agency to add spice to a roster, not build with with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
