2023 AL/NLDS Thread

[Helobious 9464]

Thread for the DSes because I don’t see one for discussion. Astros currently getting their shit pushed in by the Twins in game 2.

[Helobious 9464]

Didn’t notice the nlds threads. Pretend it just says AL then

How’d getting no lubed by the Twins feel?

[David Dennison 18944]

Something tells me not nearly as bad as getting swept out of the ALCS by a team that ends Yankee seasons like it was their job.

[Scraps 13570]

Crickets I see

[WBT 20649]

Seager's was rather crushed

[UTexasFight 9519]

Like sighting in a rifle

 

[WBT 20649]

I haven't seen an Israeli bombed like that....I got nothing 

[UTexasFight 9519]

Still work to do but Astros/Rangers ALCS would be fun:

Hitting: Yordan vs Garcia

Pitching: Verlander vs Scherzer (possibly)

National Anthem: Clay Walker vs Scott Stapp 

 

[David Dennison 18944]

Nice showing by the AL East.

[Helobious 9464]

Goood job good effort O’s

[Scraps 13570]

Nice slide dingleberry lmao

Cut himself and almost knocked himself out

[UTexasFight 9519]

This is how teams blow 2-0 leads…but Bochy heading it off by pulling Chapman.

[Vic Mackey 47106]

What a nice showing AL East. Didn't even win one game.

[Helobious 9464]

The Yankees would’ve won at least 1 game if they made it

I would have won a game, by myself, if I'd made it.  But, I didn't.  Like the Yankees.

What did the other 53 times they made the playoffs call and say?

That their RGV super fan is the ultimate jinx and that they wish he would curse another franchise.

That’s true, I totally jinxed the rangers when I started pulling for them. What’s their playoff record now, 5-0?

Sign me up for that, but does it really qualify as a burger if you can't eat it like one?  

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

This Phillies Braves series is excellent. 

[Vic Mackey 47106]

Phillies poured it on with 2 outs.

The curse is that they are doomed to be eliminated by the Astros.

If you had just left them alone, they would have been swept by the Rays and free to begin their offseason of woulda coulda shouldas. But no.......you had to jinx them. Now they have their hopes up, thinking they have a chance to beat the big bad Astros and get to the World Series. From now until Sunday, they are going to be clearing the shelves of all the Ranger gear they can buy, or getting old stuff out of the back of the closet. When they see each other they will start chanting, "We want Houston!"

Then they will get what they asked for, and get it deep.

All because you jinxed them.

Imagine you’re trying to win a baseball game but Donovan Solano is your starting first baseman.

Imagine trying to win a postseason game in ‘23.  I bet you’d trade an $18 Amazon chain to make it happen.

No one gives a shit this year. Postseason ratings are the lowest they’ve ever been. Uninteresting teams everywhere. I don’t care.

You know what’s not interesting??  Watching Giancarlo make $270k/game and only play in 70 games or so every year.   And even more uninteresting, but equally fun, watching Yankees fans bitch and moan about ratings when there’s actual, enjoyable baseball being played but they and their fans are sitting around holding their dick.  That’s the chef’s kiss 

[Scraps 13570]

I don’t care.

Yet you continue to watch and hope and pray that Astros get eliminated because that is what your life and 98% of mlb fans life has come to.

Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first
