so are 3-0 comebacks

Historically rare. Takes a really special team to do that. Or monumental chokers on the other side.

Almost as bad as going 18-0 and losing the only game that matters

Or getting another crack at the team that ended your perfect season a few years later, and whiffing again.

If the Pats had been up 3 touchdowns going into the 4th quarter and blown those games . . . I could see the analogy.

28-3 is definitely a choke. Just like being up 3-0 in a best of 7.

Or blowing a 10.5 game lead

Ohhhh baby, I said it

Yanks vs Sox in postseason play 1-1

Giants vs Patriots in postseason play 2-0


How's that analogy work for you?

Dirt is back! This is the mouthy muthafucka I've come to know and love!

Although sad sack Dirt is also enjoyable in a schadenfreude kinda way.

The Pats continued dominance (or near dominance) while the Giants go 2-14 has softened the blow.

I read about this Stephen Tarpley, apparently making a case for a callup

Right. Because it would be just like a Boston sports fan to not harbor and nurse a grudge for years/decades against a team that has historically gotten the better of them.

3) Chance Adams, RHP, Grade B+: Age 24, 4.98 ERA in 107 innings in Triple-A, 108/56 K/BB, 96 hits but 15 homers; I ranked Adams pretty aggressively compared to other observers and right now that looks like a mistake; velocity has been down a notch this year and command has slipped as well, possibly a result of off-season bone chip surgery; I think he can rebound next year but stock is ticking down.


Sigh.....

Damn. Hope they slide Gleyber over and stick Walker at 2B.

I've seen enough of Tyler Wade in 2018 thanks.

Trust me. As much as I want to hate the Giants and their fans, you guys got replaced by the Eagles and their fans. Buncha dickheads. Not sure how you guys can stand to be in the same division as those lowlifes.

Phillies fans post championship we're pretty fucking awful, too. Same with the White Sox fans.
