  1. Strasburg was leaving balls over the plate that inning. If he keeps that up we'll get him
  2. Let Strasburg go 9 on 70 pitches and Dusty will run him out there again tomorrow. 4D chess by ol' Joe and the Cubbies.
  3. No! He's old and he farts harder than he hits the ball! (Hell yeah, this is gonna work again) Stop jinxing the reverse jinxes you dumb idiots.
  4. I'm bored waiting for this game. I guess I'll have to watch game 7 for the 32nd time until the Astros game starts.
  5. It's amazing how calm I am going into this series thanks to winning it last year.At this time last year, before the Giants series, I was completely unable to sleep, but tonight I'm going to have no problem, then I'll get up and enjoy the hell out of the early game and part of the Indians game. I completely agree, I wish I felt more uncomfortable. But I don’t. We got this. The Vegas lines seem very off on the surface let alone factoring in the Dusty quotient. Let’s rolll boys I'm more stoked about being able to tell people that they slept on the champs and now they have to pay. I'm guessing there is still considerable public money on the Nats and the sharps will have their say at some point tomorrow.

  7. More on the gambling angle, when it comes to the series the Nats are listed at -150, Cubs +130 (on my site). Invested a bit in the Cubs to win the series when I was feeling that Max might only getting one start, and now that we KNOW he's only getting one start the line still hasn't moved. Taking the juice out of that line it means Vegas has the series at 58.3%/41.7% in the Nats favor. Based on the projections on FanGraphs and 538 (and my own numbers) the Cubs are more like 48% to win the series so there's definitely some value. If that line moves more to the Nats side I'll probably throw down a little more on the Cubs to win it. As far as tomorrow goes, the game should be more like 55%/45% with the Nats favored, but Vegas has it 61.5%/38.5%. So definite value there as well. Depending on how I do during the day games, I'll be rolling it over into the Cubs money line tomorrow night. Everyone is sleeping on Kyle Hendricks and the champs, and it's a bit baffling.
  8. Holy horsefeathers Altuve!
  9. And the totals on gambling sites have been hilariously low. All 3 have hit the over with plenty of time to spare.
  10. The 90's Bills went to 4 Super Bowls. Maybe a better comparison would be the early 90's Pirates who went to 3 straight NLCS and lost them all. The 90s Braves were the 90s Bills until they won in 95. I'm a dumb diehard Bills fan, last year's World Series has allowed me to enjoy all sports so much more than ever before.
  11. Just for the sheer spectacle of it all I want this to somehow turn Acuna into a free agent.
  12. There was an even earlier post where one of the VB fans was bemoaning how horrible we were, and you said "I promise you this team will win 92 games." You were breaking down the remaining schedule and trying to point out that the Brewers had actually been pretty terrible. For some reason it was a post that stuck with me.
  13. Where is Duke’s post where he promised 92 wins? It was at the height of the closet vaunted Brewers fans ceding the division.
  14. [tweet]https://twitter.com/titanicbaseball/status/913604282271879168[/tweet]
  15. horsefeathers it. Maples on the postseason roster.
  16. When we knock them out of the postseason all together there should be another champagne celebration
  17. Is Koji even going to be ready to pitch? God I hope not.
  18. Are you suggesting they would leave Montgomery off the roster if they take Lackey? Duensing would be left off before Montgomery. Deunsing is an absolute lock for me with Harper and Murphy lurking. God I forgot about how much of a fuckstick Murphy is and how badly I want to destroy him this year.
