OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Why wait til next Monday. Start firing guys now.

And this is two straight years without a playoff appearance. If you can?t win a fucking wild card game at home and get to the NLDS, you didn?t make the playoffs. I don?t care what MLB says.

Fuck this garbage-ass team.

Even if he waits an inning to pinch hit, he still probably ends up using Strop and they still lose.

Is this where we talk about Pedro Strop being a fucking piece of shit? Or do I have the wrong thread?

Can they deport this fucking guy?

It's hard to put together a pitching staff that has the ability to lose 100 games but the Cubs appear to have done so.

If this ends in a one and done, who gets fired?
Nobody?
Nobody.
Nobody.

Somebody.

Wait.  I mean nobody.

Nobody.

Hopefully a good number of somebodies...starting with Joe retiring.  Then the hitting and pitching coaches.  Burn it to the ground.

Young talent outside of Baez and Almora is regressing, or at best, not progressing.  Schwarber is a huge missed opportunity to deal to the AL (which is the only place he will ever have value).  In the NL he's a LH Mark Bellhorn that plays LF.  Happ is a lost cause.  KB certainly doesn't look like a HOF player - expectations of legit power from him should be revised down.  Russell is a wife beater and overrated.  There are no young arms anywhere close to the bigs.  How the fuck can this vaunted front office not have a Miles Mikolas equivalent to show for their efforts?

This team isn't getting better from within.  And there's way too much dead weight going into the offseason.  The NL was trash this year, and this team would have been lucky to win 84 in the AL East or West. 

Machado or bust this offseason.

Are you drug-tested at work?

They have a bullpen. We don't.

That trade for Wilson was regrettable. So was Joe's decision to use him there.

Agree with you on the trade, but it's not like any of these guys can be trusted at this point.

2003 was painful, extremely painful, but I was also fairly young, it was the first real title run they'd mounted in my lifetime, I foolishly thought they'd be back soon.

Yep. That's may feelings about 1984 and 2003. I remember in 1984 it was, "They'll be back and good for years." In 2003 it was, "Fuck, it's going to be another 19 more years."

Only off by 6.

Maybe because it was the first one, but 84 hurt more than the other ones for me. 2003, 2007 and 2008 just pissed me off but 84 hurt.

So....the Nats aren't gonna bring Dusty back, are they?

Or are they?

Well Bryce Harper apparently refused comment when asked about Dusty's situation so I'm guessing he's not his biggest fan. Not even a cursory "we love playing for the guy."

To be fair, he had just struck out to end one of the tensest baseball games ever played.  Might have been upset at everything in a Walgreens Washington uniform in that moment.  I personally think Dusty should get a lifetime extension there.

Fuck that. I think the Cardinals should hire him.
