I am absolutely disgusted and angry and disappointed with this team. They oughta be ashamed! Ya know...I'm finding that I get as upset about my teams losing in the playoffs as when we miss snowstorms (though this year I'm not bothering to track much). I'm tired of this external stuff I have no control over determining my mood. I just wanna throw something right now and I am frickin' depressed. I know it makes no logical sense because there are more important things in life--but this stuff puts me in a rut.

I think the most likely change if, IF we get bounced would be the hitting coaches. I think they give Hyde himself one more chance--I get the sense that Elias wants to go all the way with him and not have Hyde become another rebuilding manager statistic of getting fired then the WS ring comes. BUT...if it that doesn't work either, they may not have a choice but to look elsewhere. Maybe Buck Britton from AAA? Since most of these players know him already?.. But perhaps we oughta wait until the end of this series before we start speculating--but ya can't help but think of the scenarios!

I hope so, man. If they win you'll have to go tomorrow too...ya know that right? Lol Desperate times desperate measures

While I still do not believe the hitting coaches are at fault (the problem with these hitters is mental), they may end up taking the fall if we don't comeback in this series. I've been saying for awhile here...they're coaches, not psychiatrists. They can't force these players to think better...the players have to work through that! So the issue could be more roster construction...that maybe these young players need a veteran bat with great OBP to help lead. Coaching can't solve all mental stuff...the players gotta follow what's coached!

Because McCann is who Burnes likes to pitch to. I'd think you'd give your ace a choice in the playoffs with that. And tbh...on Burnes side, it worked! And hold on...Burnes gave up a hit in the 9th. Time to turn it over because it was just a one run game and you're trying to keep it that way.

Phew Praise God! I am so glad to hear he's safe. Mercy what a storm...continued prayers for those still missing and their families.

CV?

One fumble away! Sometimes it's meant for ya, sometimes it's not, lol (like Adrian Peterson falling 6 yards short of the single season rushing record). So would this be a record for the most 200 yard games?

That everybody seems to ignore...lol

Oh my goodness...you have my prayers as well.

Yeah but you didn't used to have to do that tho...I mean I'm seriously considering, despite little athletic ability (that I know of), skiing this winter up in PA. Crying shame I gotta go that far because we've sucked here in areas where people actually live. I mean what percentage of the population lives at the dang beach? Lol

Like the rest of the interesting weather It's been like a no weather-fun zone around here since 2016.

Oy...I feel like the last exciting/memorable weather thing to happen here was the 2016 blizzard. Like since then, not much in any season! Can't get snow, can't manage some good remants...we're still paying for that run we went on from 2009-2016 aren't we? Lol I mean that was awesome with Irene and Sandy, the derecho, the earthquake, and of course allll the snow. C'mon give us something--if we can't get snow I'd take some tropical (snow preferred of course!) Just want something stimulating!

White Sox have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

And to my unscientific eye...with the tendency over the last several years for hurricanes to intensify right into landfall is enough not to discount it. It's actually amazing how that seems to be a predictable occurrence these days!

I feel like we are becoming a bonafide no fun-zone interesting weather of any kind Oy let us have SOMETHING for crying out loud.

I expected there to be a defensive drop-off with Zach Orr being young and a rookie DC. I mean, Mike Mac needed time to adjust too...but even so this is ridiculous. This is basically the same core group that led the league last year!

It's weird... I get all the criticism about the 4th quarter. Buy he's getting an insane level hate with some even calling him a terrorist and bin laden and all that crap. Yeah it's likely time (or close to the time) for him to hang it up, but some of this just plain hate. I mean you even have folks trying to take SB 47 from him, and blaming him for the 49ers always coming back, lol

Perhaps we oughta name it the scenery snow pattern

If that doesn't tell you the problem has been mental all this time, I don't know what to tell ya. That's not the hitting coaches, not Hyde...this has been something the PLAYERS have had to work through. I think k they're making progress overall, but...sweet mercy.

I still think the team that scored all those runs and was never out of it the first 3 months is still there. That's why I am not writing them off no matter how bad it looks right now. With that level of talent in this lineup, you cannot rule out the possibility of them catching fire at the last minute. Not making a definite prediction that they will, just that I think there's a rather distinct chance. It's enough for me not to give up on the season until we know for sure.

That's when you know it's wrong--ain't no February the best month in a nina, lolol Man this has the be the easiest winter to forecast ever! Don't even have to go to school to do it

Ah don't be a stick-in-the mud... c'mon wasn't anything wrong with that...all teams have dilly celebrations during the playoffs, do they not?

Atm...probably Harbaugh. Not everybody hates Hyde...but Harbs is basically public enemy #1 right now (some online being jerks comparing him to bin laden, smh). I just hate that all this negativity is surrounding our sports--I think the Ravens negativity is even worse. Seems to be reaching a fever pitch!

Man this sucks...Orioles, Ravens, snow...three things outside of my control I root for for some extra happiness...they all letting me down, lol Although the Orioles I have much more hope for to turn it around. But the Ravens? I'm disillusioned, disenchanted, and disgusted (only a small bit of hope we can overcome this) And snow? Well we all know what the deal is. Boo...just boo.
