    Paging Gap Kid
  3. Gut Wagon
    Sooner or later. For now they're still awaiting the arrival of this thing called electricity.

    That kid is college football's easy MVP of the week. I don't care what anyone else does.

    We all know if it comes down to a Hail Mary, it's at worst a coin flip that Williams will score. Vandy knows that, too. So I expect at least one more Pavia pass. Everyone stay in bounds, and both hands on the ball.

    Cook reminds me of Case McCoy. But with way less moxie.

    Sark will come up with some plays to put "The Blanket" in "The Body Bag."

    McNeese put up more resistance than this.

    They miss Leon's speed.

    If his last name were Smith, he'd be just as bad as he is now.

    Oh, I remember. He was really good that fall. I'm just trying to project how he's likely to perform in postseasons to come. That's obviously conjecture, but his random hiccups in big moments since '22 have given me pause. So I wouldn't mind trading him between now and the '25 deadline and seeing what he'd fetch. Unlike Valdez, Brown still has a lot of room to grow and already is TOR quality.

    Then again, if the player's name were Deion Sanchez, he'd claim the kid is the best ever.

    I actually agree with all the above. That's why I said the current situation reminds me "a bit" of 2005. It's absolutely not an exact overlay — more a reference to this being a time of key decisions that will dictate where we find ourselves a few years out. Most franchises could say that at any time, I guess, but to me it's critical that we gain several solid pieces via trade AND free agency. As much as I love Framber, I trust him little more in October than I did JV. As for Tucker, just get all you can, when you can.

    Might seem crazy, but right now reminds me a little of where we were after losing the World Series in 2005. We were so weak offensively then that I was begging for an immediate teardown to hasten the rebuild. Of course, McLane didn't want to do anything that bold. So we quickly sank into the abyss and stayed there for many years. I think our current roster is a bit younger than that one, and we of course have far more nice banners flying. But we're also at a crossroads. None of us wants to keep making the playoffs just to make them. We have to add firepower and shore up a leaky defense.

    This native Texan has been in the Atlanta area for 40 years now and has seen some curious things out of the city's pro sports franchises, but none more than the Falcons. No matter how much talent they've had at various times, they've done remarkably little with it. So I'm hardly shocked that they haven't figured out how to use Bijan. When the Falcons drafted him, I posted that I wasn't sure he'd ever have a 40-yard TD run but that I expected him to log multiple TD receptions of 50 or better. I still think that's what would happen with the right scheme and game planning. Get him in space and he's a totally different guy than the one now having to struggle to find creases inside. Not that he can't run "between the tackles," but that's hardly the best use of his considerable gifts. Well-designed screens and wheel routes are made for him.

    Easy solution:

    I'd rather lose the way we did than the way Milwaukee did. Especially if it were against the Mets. Not that I'm still bitter about 1986.
  19. Gut Wagon
    I never understood why we didn't go after Profar last winter. He signed for peanuts, relative to his level of play. Maybe there was some other factor involved, but that looks like some of the best money any team spent leading into 2024.

    In retrospect, with all these years spent rehabbing, LMJ should have worked on converting to a southpaw. Couldn't have gone much worse.

    "Race to the middle" is a thing these days. I wonder if the current playoff structure and recent postseason performances have diminished teams' focus on the regular season. All that money and effort just to get to October and lose to a scrappy WC team that's on an hot streak. I realize baseball is a full-season business, not just an October tournament, but getting hardware in return for spending big on your roster is far from guaranteed in today's game. I'm not sure it makes competitive sense for anyone to try to gather all the shiny toys, though we know the Yankees and Dodgers will continue to do so.

    Didn't see this one, but by the stat sheet it appears Carlson was really solid.
  23. Gut Wagon
    Massey stabbing that one to keep it 1-0 KC was not what Baltimore needed. At all. Hope the home team can rally.

    I can't say I'm surprised by this flameout. We played like an old, ragtag roster for long stretches this year. The surprise (to me) was that Arlington and Seattle refused to keep us out of the postseason. I don't see that kind of generosity continuing, but who knows? A good friend and hardcore O's fan in Maryland passed of cancer a couple weeks ago. He died waiting for his team to win another World Series. Their chances don't look good, but I'm going to pull hard for them as long as they're still in it. Might be only another hour.

    Hader is just an arm. An arm unattached to a pitcher.
