This team just seems unwilling/incapable of getting over the hump.
This.
Theyāve looked deflated since April.
That was a gift-wrapped collapse.

Perhaps, but this weekend sure hasnāt helped.
Time to start drinking,
Bottom of the 9th.
Holmes pitching.
Bregman - 6-3 on the first pitch.
Alvarez - 4-3 on pitch 2, of the inning.
Tucker - gets to a full count on a steady diet of outside pitches, F8 to shallow center.
Final - Yankees 6 Astros 1.
God I fucking hate Dusty Baker.

And now the Yankees go celebrate another non-title.
77-61 after tonight. I struggle to see this team getting to 90 wins, let alone making a run in the playoffs.
Iād fire him today and turn it over to Espada in hopes that it would light a spark, but that aināt happening. I think Dusty has all the power until Crane decides heās seen enough. If Brown had real pull, Diaz would have been the starter long ago.
Why in the hell is Singleton still on the roster??? Heās a waste of space. They could call up literally anyone from AAA with the expanded roster and this team would be better off.

Iām just so fucking tired of āmanaging the seasonā manage the fucking game in front of you. The guys will get plenty of rest next month if you donāt win games now.

I think this series probably put the Astros out of their misery. That does not bother me all that much. What does bother me is NYY is the team that did it.

I mean that doesnāt happen while they occupy a postseason spot, which they currently do. This team thinks ājust wait til Octoberā not seeming to realize that it needs to be October right fucking now
I believe it was the ancient Pima Indians who used to say, āCarpe Diem.ā
Also, Diversity was an old wooden ship used in The Civil War.

Even worse, the Rangers will do it in this series.
Except that itās on the road, so who knows what will happen.
I understand the injury bug devastated the Astros this year, but my constant feeling this year has been of this team never really ever being able to, āget things in gear.ā
There have have signs of greatness coupled with abject and abhorrent shitting of the bed at times that has been head-scratching. Mix in dusty being dusty at times, and well, 2023 Underachieving Houston Astros beisbol.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Whereās my drink?
The Rolling Stone magazine profile portrayed Dusty as a bit of a Bill Lee contrarian verging on stoner. Perhaps that explains it. He certainly allows players free rein and they seem satisfied with the result. Weāre in this together. Itās difficult to repeat even in good years
Not much on Jordan:
"able to continue after the incident with relatively zero discomfortā¦
ā¦team will āmonitorā injury. "
