All you need to do is get the foot in the postseason door. 2006 Cards won it all with a 83-78 record with 50 starts from Jason Marquis and Mark Mulder at a combined ERA of 6.50+ You never know!

Ugh, now I have a hard-on.

Machado is a grade-A dumbfuck. He should have been kicked out of baseball when he threw his bat at Alberto Callaspo in retaliation for Josh Donaldson tagging him too hard. Yes, tagging him too hard.

Let’s go through it.

As we’ve seen in years past, teams should fear the hottest squad heading into October just as much as the best-record teams.

I would have gone with ERod or Buchholz, but I guess at 21-4 with a WHIP < 1.0 Porcello is a good choice for ace.

Back in the day, an 89 pitch night was just a regular Thursday for Maddox.

Hate to think where the Tigers would be if they sold high on Verlander, and kept Porcello and Scherzer.

I’m not nearly ready to call them “favorites” out of the AL, but boy oh boy do they have a lot of pieces clicking together at the right time.

89 pitch complete game. Who the hell even does that anymore?

Rohan Davey and Michael Bishop are sad at your lack of memory.

The QB everybody compared Brissett to in the draft was Rothlisburger. Beef puns asideaside, he’s a big guy with a big arm and plays much differently than Brady or Jimmy G. Expect Belichick to insert a bunch of new offensive strategies to play to his strengths and mind fuck Houston who tries to prepare for a QB with…

My mother-in-law makes brisset every Passover. It’s fantastic.

That would be the greatest Belichik mindfuck of them all.

The ol Ship of Brisseus paradox.

Cold beef brisket time

“Hello, Peyton? Bill Belichick here....”

The Pats had to manage a 2-2 through the 1st 4 games. Mission already accomplished.

Honestly this works out great for NE in the long run. At worst they go 2-2 the rest of the way before Brady returns to torch the garbage AFC East. Garoppolo looks like a world-eater out there in the game and a half and surely Belichick can swindling some buffoon into giving up multiple high picks for him. And even if…
