  1. One thing to market, another to take a 10 year old to an outdoor festival with 50,000+ with people.

    From the city where our stadiums drop the top

    Just asked him 8 year if he knew who travis Scott was and said no, asked if he thought he would have "good music" said "probably not"

    Followed up with me asking if he knew who Fat Pat is and said yeah, and he likes his music. So i got that going for me

    Welp, that sucked, but it doesn't sting as bad as last time. That 2019 team was easily the best we've ever fielded and it still gnaws at me that we lost to a flash-in-the-pan Nats squad that disbanded in less than 2 seasons. At least it wasn't the Dodgers, Yanks or Sawks this time around.  

    I felt going into this season that we were a 92-70 team that would win the division by 4 or 5 and would have to hope to get super hot to make a playoff run. Feel like we significantly overperformed to make it to Game 6 of the WS. Knew we'd have a legit offense, but always worried about the starting pitching. Pleasantly surprised by what we got out of Framber and Luis, but they both simply ran out of gas. Greinke hit a career wall, Odorizzi never really got off the ground, and Urquidy barely got to pitch between injuries. LMJ was great, but damn son, coulda used ya in the playoffs.

    Kyle Tucker emerged as a bona fide stud, Yordan came back on the scene with a vengeance (until the WS). Altuve showed flashes of his former MVP form (while occasionally slumping hard), and Bregman's season was a giant disappointment. Carlos had a career year (while still infuriating me staring at pitches down the gut). Brantley still a professional goddamn hitter (but getting real slow and his power is all but gone) and Old Man Yuli was a beast (but I don't expect him to repeat as batting champ at 38).

    Offseason priorities, some of which I'm sure we all agree on, some of which I don't really give a shit if you disagree:

    1. Sign 2 legitimate workhorse starters that throw gas. JV and Greinke are coming off the books, and Carlos is probably gone. That's ~$80M to play with. I want 2 big boys that sit at 95+ and can go 150+ innings. 

    2. Get Bregman 100% physically and mentally healthy and ready to rock. We need something approaching 2019 Bregman, especially if we're losing Carlos. 

    3:  Either upgrade CF or settle on a starter. Rotating out 4 rookies, seemingly at random every night,  isn't a viable option.

    4. Re-sign Pressly unless his ask is totally unreasonable.

    5. Hire a manager that was born after the Korean War. Love ya' Dusty, but I don't want to spend the next 2-3 seasons hoping you finally get a ring in spite of your flaws. You were hired to weather the cheating scandal and bring some veteran gravitas to the dugout and you excelled at both. Happy trails. 

    6. Somehow replace Strom. 

    7. This one I'm torn on. I love Machete as a catcher, but I dunno, for me it's hard to justify starting a guy 150+ games if he hits .170 all year long. Not even sure what I'm suggesting as a solution here. Still curious why they signed Castro if they had no intention of ever using him.

    i want joe espada as our manager. i think he'll be picked up soon by someone else if not and that would really suck

    How y'all feeling? Nervous? Excited? Stoic about whatever happens—happens?

    Great, I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - It could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense, it's so - confused. I can't really figure it out.

  4. Alex Bregman's initials are AB, which also stand for A Bitch. Drop your fucking nuts and play like you give a fuck.

    I've never been more disgusted with a team then than tonight... world series no less. If these guys don't give a fuck why should I?
