We'd have an epic starting hand in lineup Rack-o. Starting with leadoff at .275, every player in the lineup right now has a lower batting average than the one before except Castro. If Casto were between .208 and .260, it'd be perfect.
The best team is the Blue Jays, that should tell you everything. Every other team has a negative run differential. That's what I thought. They've been coasting on identity as a division for a little while now. It's not that tough.
It's the same team the Hawks beat up for 1.6 games in the first half of the series, then beat up on the Hawks for 2.4 games in the second half. It's hockey. Weird things happen and teams look dominant and terrible at alternate times.
They could still win the series. The way they're playing..yeah no. Put the kool aid down. They aren't playing right now. There's no game tonight. The way they play tomorrow may or may not have any resemblance to the way they played in the last 2.3 games.
Gigantic jumbotron and signs block the wind blowing in from left just as we graduate a historic generation of right-handed power hitters. Hendry would never have thought of that.
The Astros tried to do it with Springer. I hate it, personally. You've got essentially a non-guaranteed team option for ever year he's under control. Converting that to guaranteed money is a huge risk.
I'm not happy if they lose this series, but honestly I'm not mad or anything. Two Cups earns a lot more than one season of goodwill. But this game nor this series are over yet.
Momentum is a myth. The Blackhawks might get their butts handed to them for five more periods, or they might turn it around any minute. We'll know when they play it out.
