I think we all need to remember that Intruder was once a moderator. Sure, his profile says he's no longer one, but how are we to know that his privileges were fully revoked?

We know who the imposter is, and we know who needs to be voted off. Vent Intruder into space for his shameless murder of HOTLANTA's meltdown tonight.

Dustin May opening tonight. I have to think Gonsolin will get a shot to throw the most innings for the Dodgers in this game

I think it will depend on how well things go in the first few innings. If we can get a lead together early then yes I'd guess Gonsolin will do the heavy lifting, but if not I'd imagine it's Julio.

Roberts is gonna put Kershaw in on short rest to get the save and you know it.

I mean, they always are though. Almost universally. That’s why the only beat writers worth following write for either The Athletic or non-chud local papers.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
After much thought I am OK with any result tonight that isn’t Ian Anderson getting shelled so hard in an elimination game that it breaks his psyche and drives him out baseball.

The only thing I'm terrified of is Roberts shoehorning Kershaw into this game, getting away with it for an inning or two, then leaving him in obviously too long to get crushed.

An extremely avoidable outcome which nevertheless feels inevitable.

Same. But he's been dominant enough in the post season so far that I don't think one bad start will Folty him.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

As long as Carlos Correa and the rest of the garbage Astro people (separate from the folks who just got stuck with a villain team) aren't in the World Series I'm content. Correa and Co can keep crowing. It will just keep the drums of hate banging.

Also I'm convinced HOTLANTA's probe is secretly to protect him from his inevitable ban tonight.

As long as the Rays beat tonight's winner I'm good. They're a cool team plus they'd be a first time winner

And of course they have Charlie Morton

Losing that way to the Dodgers would be a lot more palatable than losing that way to the Cardinals
