Dusty is awesome.

The players play once the playoffs roll around.  Sure, managers can make bonehead decisions but most know what they are doing but it is rare you can pin a series W or L on a manager, I think.

I want to have a cocktail with Dusty and listen to stories.  Some old people are cool -- some should rush to the old dirtnap.  Dusty should live forever. 

I was lucky enough to have a drink with him in Spring Training of 2020. We went to a local bar that was doing the Astroline broadcast and he was the guest. He was just hanging out at the bar and I went up to chat with him. Super nice guy and he even signed a baseball for me.

That is awesome, I would love that. 

(And as much as I grew tired (SO TIRED) of Vin Scully, I loved that he always called him Johnnie B.)

Would love to have a drink with ANY old ball player.  Doesn't make them a good coach in the playoffs though...

Rooting for the Jays and Mariners because fuck the Yanks and Sawks
Yanks have 3 against Rays
Sox have 3x Nats
Mariners have 3x Angels
Jays have 3x O’s

should be interesting, maybe a couple of tie breakers to get into the wildcards even

That's your takeaway from that series? The Yanks went to Toronto and took 2 of 3 with both teams in a must win series

If we want to talk about daggers, I think Judge did most of the stabbing

Ya, those homers killed the Jays.
Jays need some help from the Rays now, but first things first, they have to take care of Baltimore, who are not just gonna role over for them 

MayDay10

Yeah, they Yankees pretty much punched their ticket last night.  Disappointing.  Wanted to see the Jays in the playoffs.  Red Sox.... zzzzzz.  Hopefully the Mariners sneak in.


Anyone doing any of the Topps NFT thing?  Not sure its a good idea, seeing they are going to lose the license and all.  But if the thing endures, it would be nice to get in at ground-level

I wanted/want a 4 team tie goddamnit.

The Jays got one which was good.  The Yanks are going to get sacked by the Rays and the Jays will beat up on the Orioles.

Jays need to sweep and Yanks need to lose 2 of 3. Could happen for sure, but I feel decent. Not sure how saying winning 1 game in a series when you are two out of a playoff spot, playing the team leading the wild card is good.

The company that was doing the Topps NFT stocks plummeted after the news of fanatics getting the licenses.  Topps is also doing a basketball NFT w players in goofy Uni's.

The whole NFT thing is a beanie baby bust to me.  Get in, make money and get out.

Good win by Houston last night. Hoping they can wrap up the #2 seed and HFA for that series.

If you aren't swept and the orioles are your next opponent then I would feel really good to be the Jays.

If I were the Yanks and the way their bats are lighting up as of late I would feel great too.

Is this still possible or no?  Tie breakers are set now?

My Redbirds are surging! Reminds me of our championship 2011 run! 

Mike Shannon was on a roll yesterday. I know that they wanted to let him ride into the sunset but somebody should’ve pulled the plug earlier. Sad, what a ducking voice. He was the soundtrack to my childhood car rides, even more so than Buck.

I'm hoping for the opposite!  But seems unlikely at this point.  Astros won the season series so they have the tiebreaker....Sox need to sweep and need Astros to get swept to get the homefield.

(And as much as I grew tired (SO TIRED) of Vin Scully, I loved that he always called him Johnnie B.)

Dusty IS a very cool dude. Chatted with him as he sat in his Bob Marley inspired Indian motorcycle. My buddy got his hat and gave it to me when they did a ST game in vegas some years ago.

Yup. He’s a great guy and I enjoyed chatting with him.
