We're going to steamroll tonight, so it doesn't matter. The Phils gave us their best shot and they are still down 3-2 with 2 games left at our house.
For academic purposes, I think they still throw LMJ in game 7 with a very short leash. Everyone would be available out of the pen, including Javier. Would be interesting to see who would be the first one out. Would be situational, most likely. But would be cool to see Javier pitch again in this series.
Offseason wish list: Re-sign JV. Trade Luis Garcia or Urquidy, preferrably Garcia, for position of need and/or prospects. Acquire lefty reliever, CF, 1B, C. Or, let Yainer Diaz and Pedro Leon test their skills in the show and then move at the deadline. Bring Maldy back? Bring Yuli back?
The older I get, the more I get hair in places I don't want it. Because of these, I am winning the war against ear hair. Cheap ass tweezers are frustrating as fuck.
Sewn on buttons for shorts and pants. That thread weak AF. Always breaking off, even on good name brand clothing. Before anyone says anything, I am not fat.
Hmmm... Similar thing happened to me. I've been working late a lot lately. My wife was agitated about something. She never says anything; I can just tell. I figured it was because I was working so much and she has had to deal with our kids every night by herself. Stupidly, I finally ask her, "I know something is wrong. What is it?" Her answers are always like this: "It's just that you never..." "I just don't understand why you have to..." I'm not adding the tailing off where there were actual words. She doesn't complete the goddamned sentences. And then she gets pissed at me for not being more understanding. Anyway, I finally drag it out of her that I had turned Google locator off on my phone. I didn't even know I had it. I think she installed it or enabled it; she at least turned it on. I think I remember getting an email several months ago about it and I didn't recognize it so when it asked me if I wanted to turn it off I clicked yes. I just looked at her incredulously. "Do you think I'm cheating on you? Are you fucking serious? I don't have time for a fucking girlfriend! I'm working my fucking ass off and you're accusing me of fucking someone else?" I couldn't believe it. I handed her my phone and told her to put whatever locator bullshit she wanted on it.
Anything can happen, of course. I think the NY series was closer that it appeared from the sweep. Stros got some breaks. Still, this team is so solid, so deep, so much playoff experience, so hungry. Given the undefeated post-season record so far, it sure seems like destiny. Better pitching and pitching depth make the difference. Astros in 5.
