3 hours ago3 hr Just now, Lip Man 1 said:They certainly can, the question is will they?The Sox deserve credit for taking advantage of circumstances to produce an unexpectedly good season for them, no question.But to potentially urinate away a 2-0 lead in a best of five? That would be hard to take, it's only happened a handful of times and I don't know if it has ever happened when you won the first two games on the road.That would be a crusher.It has. Texas in 2015 was the last time.

Rangers won the first 2 in the ALDS on the road then the Blue Jay won 3 straight. Just as rare though is the road team winning every game in the series. One of them is going to happen. Hopefully the latter.
2 hours ago2 hr I would have been fine with Newcomb opening, I also kind of love just giving Burke the ball. He’s our guy, let him do this.

2 hours ago2 hr Can't say it enough: player's families need to get the hell off social media. Now Kay's family is chirping? You're not the main character, shawdup!
2 hours ago2 hr I looked this up. Only twice has a road team won all the games in the LDS. In 2010, the Rangers won the first two games all 3 of their games at the trop. In 2012, the Giants went down 0-2 in San Francisco before storming back to take the next 3 in Cincy. If you recall, that was the year where they changed the order of the LDS due to the second wild card.
2 hours ago2 hr Pale Hose Talk seems pretty dead for a team that is going to a game 5 in the ALDS. I’m guessing we’re all pretty down on the team/our chances.

You're not the main character, shawdup!Haven't seen what is being said. At the end of the day fans need to remember that these players are humans and their families are going to defend the person. While I agree that its best for families to keep quiet, fans should be respectful.

I don't have Facebook, or Instagram, or X, or any social media stuff whatsoever, but I hope I haven't been considered a "chirper" on this forum this season! 🫣

1 hour ago1 hr The offense needs to open the game like they did at the beginning of the first two . good patient at bats and going the other way . Burke needs to pitch the game of his life.

1 hour ago1 hr Peavy44/killer k weighs in on the "Green Bay Sucks" chants. Can't say I disagree. Preach!
1 hour ago1 hr Man that game yesterday was so electric to be at. Its really too bad it all got pissed away. The Guardians can f*** off. They get all puffy chested because they because they think they might be the best team in the AL central. Buncha clowns who regularly s%*# the bed in the playoffs against superior teams. Congrats jerks you managed to win 2 games against a team with no SPs and shut up the home crowd. That will be the highlight of their year. Bringing in Kay was my least favorite decision of the night. He is firmly in do not use unless emergency territory. Dude cant throw strikes.

Why does this dude care so much to get thrown out of the game about it?? If its GB sucks I dont mind I think its fun. Gotta mix up the chants every now and then!
