ps john steigerwald sucks

5 years ago would not have imagined a world in which the o's, nats, and pirates were contenders. i guess the competitive balance stuff does work after all

getting multiple extremely high draft picks is a big help

which makes the o's success even more impressive, because they didn't quite have that

tbh i kinda agree with him, just that it seems silly to have a huge champagne celebration after every single advancement

Sending my congratulations from Milwaukee; I'm rooting for you guys

yeah i think going nuts for winning a wild card game or a division series is kind of lame, and a pennant doesn't mean so much anymore, but making the playoffs postseason after 150+ games is a good moment imo

it's kind of like when i come home and my cat is all purr-y and rubbing up against me and i'm like dude chill, you're gonna get trod upon, i'm *trying* to get to the food. but it's nice to know that he appreciates it

okay it's not really that much like that, but still

let's send mookie to the LCS

(if the fates allow)

ok seriously a champagne celebration after clinching the wc AND the division, two times!! before the postseason begins!! is ridiculous

re the dodgers

well shit

and now we're looking at vance worley or edinson volquez in the wc game

(who have actually pitched very well lately, but still)
