    Vague memory that LaRussa was a b**** about it the way Roberts is now a b**** about the Padres and everyone else

    I forgot how to post pictures here from my iPad but if I could it would be that pic of the guy at the Astros game pointing to the camera and laughing from the Crawford Boxes

    1 inning short of averaging a whopping 6 innings per game. You're not supposed to win playoff games in this manner. Yet here we are.

    5 game series…3 game series…we play 162 games to decide who is best by a 3 game or 5 game series….wild.

    Reminder that in the 3 game series the Tigers played before they eliminated the ****ing Houston Astros, they lost 2 of 3 to arguably the worst team of all time.

    This is why I’ll never understand the whole “our team just doesn’t care” bullshit after losing a 3 game series. I’m not telling you how to fan, but if you pull that **** out after a 3 game series then you just don’t know baseball. That’s fine with me, but just know that I know you don’t know.

    Judge .207 with a pedestrian .756 OPS in his playoff career.

    When did I utter the words "we just don't care"? You're addressing somebody else.

    I'm just pointing out how unorthodox a path Hinch is navigating through, and quite successfully. It's easy to win a series when you have 3 or 4 very dependable starters (e.g., Astros, Phillies, Royals). To do it in this manner, that's just really incredible.

    Lindor grand slam to put the Mets up 4-1. I'm missing Astros playoff baseball right about now :(

    Lindor just turned the game upside down with a grand slam in the 6th

    other teams hit grand slam with ease.........

    astros can barely score with men on 3rd and 2nd with 0 outs.

    Excellent… and we all know. Its reached “village idiot” potential that is comical on some level, with the circumstantial statistics that probably took a good chunk of time to look up and draw the most inexplicably naive and moronic conclusions to.

    Its pretty cathartic how I don’t miss this sort of stress on any level… playoff baseball is far more heartache and heartbreak than it is elation.
