    Don't really care for 108 wins. Just focus on getting home field for AL playoffs, then just play younger guys and rest peeps.

    Don't forget the 3 most important events in American history

    Gaining of our Independence
    Landing on the Moon
    Aaron Judge hits 62 home runs

    They are retrofitting all the history books as we speak.

    I've been talking about 108 wins ad nauseum for a reason.

    If they win tonight, they just need to go 9-3.

    Then why has Crane not given him an extension? What is he waiting for?

    The burning question is will Tampa score a single run in this 3 game series?

    He's waiting on a championship. That's the only thing that is going to save Dusty and Dusty even knows it.

    I don't always agree with his lineups, but I think he's done a great job of managing injuries, personalities, and navigating the club through the scandal to stay on the winning track. Don't count me amongst the disgusted of this board.

    Thinking long-term, how much longer do you think Dusty will manage? He's 73. Maybe he manages 1 or 2 more seasons before retirement. Is that worth letting Espada go elsewhere?

    Am I crazy or are they treating Paredes with kid gloves this series?

    8 total PA's this series so far: 4BB's, 0 hits.

    Martin Maldonado is a professional hitter.

    I didn't say anything about Click. I would extend him.

    I'm just thinking long term in regard to Espada. Would you let him be hired as manager elsewhere for 1 or 2 more seasons of Dusty?

    Who are your 4 starters for the playoffs? And what do you expect Dusty to do?

    My 4 starters
    JV
    Valdez
    Junior
    Javier

    What Dusty is likely to do
    JV
    Valdez
    Junior
    Urquidy

    As long as we don't go with Garcia as the 4th starter, I'm good.

    This feels like a 5-0 game in the making.

    If by professional hitter you mean near automatic out, I concur.

    Martin has picked it up lately. 3rd best hitter in the last 7 days.

    Is it me or did we sabotage the Rays in taking Siri from us?
