Fuck. Dusty. Baker.
I don’t like the lineups lately either. But …
ALCS game 7 in 20, Pennant in 21, Pennant with SF.
There are a lot of postseason wins to get to those milestones.
Lowe 3-2, foul, K swinging
Big pitch by Abreu.
Results that a cardboard cutout of fucking Joe Maddon also could’ve pulled off.
Ballgame.
Taveras bases clearing double
Then a fat pitch by Abreu.
And Abreu throws a cookie to put the Astros out of their misery.
Ugh
Our crappy offense should have never let this game get to extras.

Abreu giveth; Abreu taketh away.
Team loss. Everyone efforted. Baker, Espada, the starting nine.
Talk to the guy that filled out the lineup card. Wouldn’t have wanted Mancini or Diaz to start, or anything.
You have one job, Dusty. Squeeze every possible run you can out of this offense. If you fail you’re not even getting to the postseason, much less succeeding there.
Maddon does have a Cubs’ WS ring, but lacks Dusty’s avuncular nature
The not making the postseason part is going too far. The Astros are currently tied for the best record in the American League.
Maton and Abreu with 5 runs allowed so far, while Seth Martinez prob getting sent down with LMJ back Saturday

So this inning…
Maton still looks to be fit only for spot duty (way off last years form).
Abreu is Josh James.
