I was outside Wrigley Field with thousands of other people and when Rajai Davis hit that home run it went dead silent. Even though the Cubs won it still gives probably every Cubs fan anxiety.

It still slightly bugs me that Gonzalez's hit is the only one that people remember when Womack's double was so much more important in terms of WPA

Or in other words, probably never.

Batting stance is really just a personal preference thing, ultimately whatever helps you get into loading your back side (load) before you come forward (stride). This is what he looks like as he is coming forward in his stride after loading, looks pretty much like any other hitter.

Going on record for sincerely hoping the D-Backs win the world series, going into game 1 tonight. Almost every prediction from the previous playoff series I saw this year was that they would lose, and they beat the odds. I think the current predictions (that aren't making calls from the heart with the whole plucky underdog thing) are favoring the Rangers, and if so, I hope the trend continues and Arizona pulls it off. I kept telling my friends who would ask during the NLCS/ALCS, that on one hand if they were to face the Astros, everyone would be cheering the D-Backs on for reasons (good for the Diamondbacks), but on the other hand, they probably have a better chance against the Rangers (maybe good), so, pretty anxious to see how this plays out. I don't have any money on it or anything, just a pretty strong emotional investment.

I have it on good authority that the most effective batting stance is the one where you hold the bat between your legs and pretend it’s your dick

I'm so beside myself that the Rangers even got here, but I really don't think I can heal from 2011 until they win it all. That series against the Astros showed me just how fuckin scarred I still am from David Freese and Nelson Cruz's terrible, horrible, very bad day. Go Rangers. Get your first, and add another trophy to the "cool things that have happened since the Cowboys became infected with a terminal case of mediocrity." The Stars and Mavs have done it, even if only once, but there's no reason you can't flip the bird to Jerry Jones too.

Someone asked in one of the threads if we would be okay if Cowboys not winning another Super Bowl or something for as long as Jerry Jones lives if it meant the Rangers won a World Series. I would be fine with the Cowboys being contracted out of existence if it meant a Rangers title.

I thought I'd be happy just getting here the way they did (thank you Adolis), but in a season that has made no sense, why not just win the whole fuckin thing and exorcise some franchise demons. Go Rangers.

This, unironically I went to a Dbacks game on September 11 2002 and I remember seeing people in the stands do a little jump-scare duck every time a plane flew overhead. The stadium is right under the flight path of a busy airport so this happened many times. The 00's were weird, man

Honestly I forgot the Diamondbacks beat THAT Yankees team so frankly I respect that organization a lot more than I did previously. Low bars to clear, but you take what you can get.
