    “When he leads off we win.”  That’s what Ole Topper said. Whatever.

    And he ain't wrong. Like I said before, for whatever reasons, these jackasses don't hit when you put them in the lineup where they "should" go, yet put them in dumb spots and they're just mashing.

    Also, they're gonna fuck my day up today - first, didn't realize the game was at 1 today instead of 1:35 because this org doesn't like fans. THEN they're gonna string us the fuck along. I'm gonna get there at 1 and then they're gonna wait till 5 to play.

    Still have the first seed for the wildcard. Not too worried yet. Play Atlanta next. Let's see how we do against them. Hoping at least for a split (I think they play them 4 times)

    This was your chance to put them away. They have an easy schedule coming up with the Mets and Brewers

    By the end of tomorrow this could be, uh, not great. They gotta step up asap. I'm getting too old for this shit.

    Ha.
    Hate him back, it works for me.
    All dressed up and Noone to blow.

    Loved those stupid movies.  Haven't watched in years

    It is pretty crazy that they haven't found this killer yet.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    He's the Blue Jays bench coach
    Help me understand....so Mattingly was your favorite player as a kid 30+ years ago...and you rooted for the Marlins while he was their manager the last few years ago up until he got fired last year...alright...now you have such an immense amount hatred for Miami because of that firing that you are actively rooting for their demise and for them to not make the playoffs? Is this correct?

    All of this because of Don Mattingly?

    Don Mattingly was a pretty good hitter for a few years but damn the ridiculous amount of devotion to that guy. "Great defensive 1st baseman!" Who cares. Was he great at defense or am I thinking of Keith Hernandez? It's mostly just standing there and catching balls thrown by the other infielders or the pitcher anyway.

    Well if he wasn't fired, why do you have beef with them? 

    What if he worked as a cashier at Wawa and then left for greener pastures at Sheetz? Would Wawa then be dead to you forever?!

    I do love the commitment to the bit, though. God bless you

  • Mattingly is sort of a tragic figure. Played his entire career for by-far the best franchise....during their all-time worst stretch (not counting pre-Babe Ruth). And the moment he leaves, they win the World Series. While he's gone, they appear in six World Series and win four. Then, he returns as a coach for the Yanks and they blow a 3-0 lead to Boston in the ALCS. And then two years after he leaves to join the Dodgers, the Yanks win another World Series (2009). 

    Somewhat funny note: when I was first getting into baseball in the late 80's as 8-9 year old, I assumed Mattingly was better than Wade Boggs. I based this solely on his "Donnie Baseball" nickname. "Well if he has "'baseball' right in his name, he MUST be great!" Then I got a Boggs baseball card, compared it to a Mattingly, and it wasn't even close.
