Forget losing a game. Have the Astros have even given up a lead for a inning this playoffs? They're turning in one of the most dominant playoff performances ever. They barely eked out two of their wins against the Mariners, including one game where they were down 7-3 at one point. Really it's just the Yankees that are making them look good. Well nearly all games in the playoffs is going to be tight. It's elimination time. You play to your opponents. I get that Seattle was a wild card team, but the Yankees are a near 100 win ball club. What they're doing is history making so far. It can all change in a instant, of course.

What's better than the Yankees being down 3 games to 0 (other than them being swept away)?
Their fans get bombarded with....the graphic...the one that shows that only 1 team trailing 3 games to 0 in a series has come all the way back to win. I'm sure that'll make them feel better. Lol
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

You can't draw this one up any better for those whiners. Complaining last game about a Bregman hit that was a HR in 25/30 parks being weaker than the Judge out that was a HR in just Yankee Stadium, only for McCormick to then get the Astros on the board tonight with a HR that only makes it out in Yankee Stadium.
And Cole comes up clutch again in the playoffs.

Not to mention that a lot of those were "upsets", losing in the winner take all game, or losing to Boston. 2010: 4 seed losing to 3 seed Texas 2011: 1 seed losing to 3 seed Detroit 2012: 1 seed losing to 3 seed Detroit (again, and a sweep) 2015: 4 seed losing to 5 seed Houston 2017: 4 seed losing to 2 seed Houston 2018: 4 seed losing to 1 seed Boston 2019: 2 seed losing to 1 seed Houston 2020: 5 seed losing to 1 seed Tampa Bay 2021: 5 seed losing to 4 seed Boston 2022: 2 seed getting taken to pound town by 1 seed Houston

Not to mention all of the prospects they gave up in the past few years to get the pieces to compete this year.

Hey hey!! Phils a team of destiny. How could that be? Don't they have a really bad GM?? The grief that Dombrowski got here afterwards, will out last us all. He muffed up the Sale contract, Price contract was too long. He nailed the Eovaldi contract, JDM contract, Xander contract, Vazquez contract. It was time to move on to Bloom at the time, but it's not a coincidence that winning still follows Dombrowski. I'm sure that infuriates some here. The Phillies were in huge turmoil before he showed up, complete irrelevance. Now he's got them one game within a world series. Dombrowski knows how to spend money to get a winner. He doesn't always nail every contract, but you can screw it up trying to spend money. The Rangers are going through that right now.

All those empty seats in Yankee Stadium in the 8th inning last night made me feel warm all over. Next game maybe in the 7th.

My beef with DD, is he was only too happy to gut our system. I could of told him to hold on to Devers . The year we won it he made 2 key trades I’ll give him that. I still don’t know why he had to sign Sale. That year he was battling injuries. Why didn’t he approach Devers right away to do like what Tampa did to Franco.
After he made all these trades with our prospects , it was like the minor league system just went dark. What I like about our prospects we graduate them to help our team but it should be fluid . We weren’t doing a better job with pitching too.

We weren’t doing a better job with pitching too. What All Stars or even every day MLB players did he trade away when "gutting" the system other than Margot? This is a repeated strawman that just won't die. Meanwhile, 3 Division titles and a World Series. His biggest error was resigning Sale when it was obvious he was injured. This infuriated ownership, especially when Cole and others was going to be in the same free agent class. Dombrowski does have a bad habit of rewarding players for past performance. (See: Cabrera, Miguel). With regard to Price, there was pretty much a resigned acquiescence on this board when he did it. It was theorized that it was two years too long, but we all knew this team needed an "ace" and Price was the ace at the top of the market. But the org under Dombrowski did a good job drafting and acquiring international free agents, many of whom became top 10 Sox prospects, including Casas, Bello, Rafaela, Mata, Paulino, Groom, Dalbec, Duran, Houck, Crawford and Ward. I agree it was stupid to extend Sale (and Pierce - even though it was just $6M) when he did, but I don't think it should've been a firing offense. But, yes, I have every confidence that Chaim will turn this into an MLB-winning player development machine. I also have every confidence that if the Sox are not a playoff team in 2023, he will be fired.

I'm really rooting against the Phillies more than any other team. I don't care about the Dombrowski angle, but I hate the fact the best team in baseball that should be honored is the 3rd best non-division winner? Just awful.
I really want the Padres because it'll be interesting to me if Tatis gets a ring and be apart of the parade.

Dombrowski knows how to spend money to get a winner. He doesn't always nail every contract, but you can screw it up trying to spend money. The Rangers are going through that right now. D-Dom realized he had an ascending young core and acquired star veterans to complement that core. He also made incredible in-season acquisitions to win in 2018. That said, I agree that we're still paying (in dollars and grief) for his impulses. The idea that there's a Hate D-Dom Club on this site is a total strawman. Most posters appreciate his contributions and his mistakes. All that aside, I recommend that anyone who gets the YES network turn on the post-game show after the Astros complete the sweep tonight. Turn down the sound and you'd think you were watching four guys at a funeral. Michael Kay's long face is heart-warming. Then turn the sound back up and bask in all the boo-hoo, woe is us commentary.

I don't think it's a great read of the critics of Dombrowski to think that they're motivated by petty resentments. My own thought about the Phillies hiring him was that that organization was precisely at the wrong point in their arc to hire a guy like that - already loaded with some big contracts and with a depleted farm system. Which is basically where the Red Sox were when he left, not coincidentally. But good for him for engineering an 87-win team that was able to make it into the pachinko playoff tournament.
