I didn’t watch any LCS. But now I can relax to see the Phillies are out. Look for MLB to do some radical changes to playoff format next season. I’m sure this Texas Vs Arizona is what they didn’t want to happen.

They gave the Faillies all three wild card games at home, and because of all the off days they ended up playing 3 games in 7 days. That allowed them to get their two aces lined up perfectly and the team rested. Since when was it a good idea to give a suck ass wild card team that kind of advantage? And they still gagged it away.

One other thing about this World Series that shouldn’t be overlooked—-after screwing the Mutts by pitching so bad, Scherzer went to Texas and pitched well and helped them get to the Series, and perhaps win it all. That’s gold Jerry, gold!

Gotta also love the insurance run the D-Backs got in the 7th with three hard hit balls off the hunnert throwing Alvarado, lollerz……

It's obvious the Braves need a starter or two. Charlie shouldn't be back unless it's at a steep pay cut. He lets us down every year. If we had a manager who knew how to handle him (and pretty much everything else about a baseball team) it would be different. Sarge will be here until he's 80, though.

I heard that Charlie has a club option for $20M that we are considering exercising. I will puke if we give him $20M again. I like him but not at that price, just to have him disappear every year at playoff time.

I like him but not at that price, just to have him disappear every year at playoff time. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? Of course! Snitkernomics! I looked it up and he does have a $20M club option. I also heard he’s thinking about just retiring. I find it hard to believe he’d pass up $20M to retire. Pro athletes are all whores for dat money. The $180M they’ve already made ain’t enough, better tack on another $20M for the heck of it, might need it someday! And if he plays one more year he still gets to retire at age 41 instead of 62 or 67 like us working mooks. Not a bad gig. Speaking of which, I claimed my social security benefits this year at 62, so I’ll work the rest of this calendar year but cut way back starting in 2024. You can only make up to $21,000 per year after you claim the benefits. So I’m forcing myself to cut way back on my work and have a damn life finally. I planned to cut way back three years ago, right when the pandemic nonsense came along, and my business took off and I’ve made stupid money. Still am right now but enough is enough, I have a lot of real life things planned and it’s time to get to it. I won’t be around much after January comes around, even when the season starts. I’m not investing my fan hood to the hilt anymore as long as Snitwit is our manager.

So much for the team that was "built for the playoffs". They lost 4 of the last 5 to a team that barely finished above .500, .518 to be exact, in the regular season. The top of their lineup Schwarber, Turner, and Harper went 1 for 20 in the last 2 games. Nola and Suarez returned to earth. Castellanos had an expected regression 1-24, .042, 1 HR. Harper 5-23, .217, 2 HR. Turner 5-25, .200, 1 HR.
Those are definitely not the makings of a team that is "built" for the playoffs. Those are signs of a streaky team that finished 14 games out of 1st place.

I just don't understand this. Did someone forget to tell Arizona that the Phillies had this incredible home advantage that couldn't be overcome and were built to dominate the post season with their hunnert MPH pitchers and the greatest player in today's game?
