sds hates Canada!!

Its the exchange rate...an 85 OVR in Canada is only an 82 in the States.

@joester33 said in Molitor is a Brewer:

I agree Just like Mike Piazza will allways be a dodger to me

Wrong...Everyone knows Mike Piazza will always be a Marlin.

Now that Altuve and Springer are no longer diamonds, Orel Hershisher's comment while broadcasting a Dodgers-Astros game was prophetic

"It's a lot harder to hit when you don't know what's coming".

Truer words have never been spoken

Thankfully SDS is bringing it to your attention, even if your eyes are closed.

Didn't stop them from dropping as Stub sale
Probably won't stop them from dropping new content
"But look at us, we are quiet in solidarity....psst...Still buy packs and stubs"
Whose eyes are closed???

Marlins fans exist?

Yes all 5 of us were on a Zoom call watching the game.

Clemente that is the only correct answer.

What? I'm just gonna sleep until January 1st 2021.

Won't happen, you will wake up and it will be January 1, 2020 again.

2020 is going to be the longest 3 years of our lives.

I personally think we need more stat missions.
I know I will get ripped by the online only elitists for even mentioning this, but this is the way I feel. And we do have online stat missions by the way.
I have lost interest in online play, it just doesn't feel like baseball. The only way to score runs is on a HR, its not that 100% of the time, but it sure as heck seems that way.

That's because the card art is missing his stache.
That was always the secret to his power.

With all the names we, as a community, have thrown out as possibilities. It's inevitable that we will be disappointed. Short of Jesus, who according to Cerrano, couldn't hit a curve ball. This is going to be a huge let down

"Are you trying to say that Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?"

True. I read Mac wanted Buckner to be on the field to celebrate, but if the game was tied he put him out there too soon.

The BoSox were up 2 heading into the bottom of the 10th. The late, great Dave Henderson hit an Hr off of Rick Aguilera.
The Sox closer Calvon Schiraldi got 2 quick outs (Backman and Hernandez).

The Sox were one out away from their 1st title since 1918. Then it happened....
Gary Carter Single
Kevin Mitchell Single
Ray Knight gets another hit, scoring Carter, Mitchell to 3rd.
Bob Stanley relieves Schiraldi.
Now comes the stuff everyone remembers....
Mookie Wilson is up.
Passed ball, Mitchell scores the tying run, Knight advances to 2nd.
After a few foul balls. In the words of the immortal Vin Scully...
"A little roller up along first, behind the bag!!! It gets Bill Buckner, here comes Knight and the Mets win it!!!"

I was a kid when it happened and I must have seen the game a couple hundred times since then. Maybe that is why I remember it in so much detail.

Everyone likes to blame Buckner when it was Schiraldi and Stanley that cost the Sox the 86 title.

@Freddy_Sez said in Worse Move:

McNamara not using a defensive replacement at 1B. But to your question, not using Britton was worse from the standpoint that going to Anderson has been their MO and he's been lights out all season. Sure we can second guess tonight, but more and more the thought is to pull the starter for your best reliever in the toughest situations.

Yeah but Anderson has been getting Rocked by the Dodgers.
Even Roberts, who is a worse manager, had the wherewithal not to go to Kenley in the ninth.
Both closers were shaky, but post season Anderson was nothing like regular season Anderson.

Looks like the better manager won tonight

One good night doesnt make him a better manager.
Congrats to the Dodgers for winning, but only a blind a$$ fan would suggest Roberts is better than Cash.
Yeah Roberts moves won you the game tonight, but how many titles did his moves cost you in the past?
2 or 3 ?
Pitching Kershaw on short rest
Leaving Kershaw in too long
Over using Kenley so much that he has never been the same
Dude enjoy the title, but put the pom poms down.

@Freddy_Sez said in Worse Move:

BTW, Even if McNamara had subbed in Stapleton for Buckner, the game was tied at the time. So it would have gone to the 11th.

By far it was Buck.
At least Snell was in the game.
Britton pitched as much as either one of us did.

Cobb (either version)
Brock
Roman Quinn
Vidal Brujan FS
Mondesi
Honus (either version)
Juan Pierre

And I didn't see any social distancing or masks at all....Where is Karen?????

Yeah!!! Doesn't Magic have a compromised immune system?

Looks like a super spreader event

I expected more of a celebration after so many years of heartbreak, close calls and trash cans.

The 86 Mets still had the best dog pile ever.

Hats off to the Dodgers on winning the World Series.

Here we go....9th inning.
Does Roberts do the right thing and ride the hot hand (Urias)

Or does he go to his shakey closer because its the expected move?
