    Cursed thread.

    This thread is not a bad omen. If the Mets overtake us then our magic number becomes negative. This thread is merely informational only and no emotional takes here

    Dang right - in the sense of just burying them.
    Do we actually need to for our own good? Of course not. But the sooner we clinch the better.

    Can we please ramp up the cliche usage in this thread? So far we only have ones from the "bury them" and "you jinxed it" lines of cliches.

    We should definitely bury them now in our hand rather than hope for two in a bush.

    15 and 8 plus another day off calendar.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
