    Did they say how many people have hit the upper catwalk at the Trop? It can't be many, right?

    I'm just happy to split the series with this team so just win the bullpen game. But gahhhhhh it's stressful

    Time to pull Weaver!

    edit:
    Servais blows it again. I seriously put this on him 100%. Weaver had like 80 pitches. It's not like he is an All-Star or something. Get a clue Servais!

    edit again:

    Happy Servias? Another loss thanks to mismanagement. He really is a shitty skipper.

    some quick PR repair earlier today, after Kirby was allowed to go over 100 pitches
    via ESPN;
    - On Saturday, Kirby said he "screwed up" with Friday's postgame comments.

    "Obviously I screwed up. That's not me," Kirby said Saturday. "Skip's always got to pry that ball out of my hands. Just super uncharacteristic of me as a player and who I am out on that mound. I love competing. Like I said, I just screwed up."

    Manager Scott Servais said he talked to Kirby "for a long time" Friday night and Saturday morning.

    "He said 'Skip, that's not who I am,'" Servais said Saturday. "We all know George is a very fiery -- he's a competitor. He's learning. It's an opportunity to learn moving forward. The biggest thing with George is, we move forward. Love having him out there."

    Fuck this team. Fuck that game. Fuck it all.

    I listened to the bottom of the 9th and once I heard it called a HR I shut it off and listened to music and it was a LOOOOONG drive home.

    Fuck this team. Fuck that game.

    Awesome August to get back into the playoff picture and even outright lead the division. Then the straight series losses. The highs and lows of sports Fandom in a nutshell right there.

    I think T-Mobile Park was built on an Indian burial ground.

    I think Servais is now just trying to stay in the wildcard race. Astros have a pretty easy schedule remaining. They could end the year like 15-4, easily. It will all come down to those series with SEA and TEX if they want the last wild card spot.

    Hopefully we can come from behind here. As a reacharounder, perhaps Stren will like that lol

    We had to split/win that series to have any chance at the division.


    Wild card or bust now.

    I quit watching I swear.
    I did watch the Seahawks. That worked well for the Niners.

    What a fucking rollercoaster 10 days can be.

    Also, at what point do we blame Run DMC?
