Have we ever seen Tua, Mac or Wilson play at an elite level - or even win a playoff game? Granted Josh has been in the league longer and had a chance to establish himself - but that only makes your comparison weaker IMO.

I think he looked tentative because the Jets were able to pressure him. But I agree with the premise that to some extent they need to let him play. Just be prepared for the day when it comes back to bite us, cuz it will.

What do you think the players and coaches goals were prior to this game that need to be reassessed? I'd be surprised if it wasn't winning the division and figuring out home-field and 'everything else' that follows after that.

That sounds like the title of a movie that I would have no interest in.

It's a shame that your distaste for hockey took the focus of the thread away from it's original intent.

Like an anti-perspirant? Where's that TIL thread when I really need it?

I didn't watch much of the first two games, but the last three have drawn me in. Last nights game was great, I kept expecting the Astros to pull away but then at the end the Phillies had a chance for the comeback.

To me the game last night came down to fielding. One first baseman didn't make a play with a man on third and the other did. And then the Astro CF made the play of the game.

Apparently it was Wawa that cursed the Phillies before the game last night:

It's not nitpicking to start a thread with the title you chose or your opening comment.

I had no idea Verlander was 0-6 in the WS. Doesn't change my opinion of him, he's a beast. Read something recently suggesting the Mets should consider him over DeGrom and it was hard to disagree with. Nothing against Wheeler personally but I feel like the Mets never got his best. How many years was he a Met and never had a defining moment. Plus !@#$ the Phillies!

Nice call on Marchand. If I had to pick one active player from any sport as my most hated it would be him.

Damn, just turned on WS after watching hockey - rock 'em sock 'em start. Bottom 4, 5-3 Astros.

This post reminded me of another live album I like, "Hanx!" - Stiff Little Fingers

Fair enough wrt Cashman, if they plan to move on why wait? Just thought it was odd that Boone got a public vote of confidence and Cashman didn't when both are on every Yankee fans mind. They should 100% resign Judge. Home grown , beloved by the fan base, enormously telaneted. Disappeared in the playoffs and it's unlikely he'll ever replicate his regular season - regardless, he's a player any team should want. BTW, Go Isles. Nice shutout on Potvin Socks night!

Hendrix Live at Monterey and Band of Gypsys were pretty good.

"If it's too loud, you're too old". I've always gravitated towards hard/heavy rock and IMO not many live albums capture the concussive sound of a live show. I always thought Michael Schenker Group's Live at Budokan did - but maybe that's cuz back in the day we had massive speakers at the fraternity house. Just listened to this through earbuds and it didn't have the same gravitas. Still think it captures the essence of so many shows I went to.

Dropping this here because it doesn't deserve it's own thread and I thought hockey fans might appreciate it. Denis Potvin turns the sucks chants from Rangers fans into something humorous and charitable: https://www.nhl.com/news/islanders-to-sell-potvin-socks-during-game-against-rangers/c-336788608

I'm not saying Cashman will (or even should) get canned. But why would Hal make comments about Boone coming back but not Cashman?
