They could at least make Chief Wahoo look more dignified, instead of like a grinning idiot.

Astros got Verlander, which makes them even more dangerous

There were three 1-0 games yesterday. One went 13 innings and matched the teams with the best (.300, Orioles) and worst (.220, Blue Jays) batting averages with runners in scoring position this year. Orioles went 0-11 with RISP and Jays went 0-13.

In another 1-0 game Kershaw got the win in his first game back after being out for nearly 6 weeks with a back injury. He's tied for the most wins in MLB (16-2) and 13th in strikeouts.

I dunno, I dont see the Nationals reaching the World Series because they always choke in the NLDS.

I didn't remember that. I remember 1981 as the year the middle third of the season was wiped out by a strike, and there was a weird gimmicky playoff format that left the NL teams with the best overall records in their divisions (Cards, Reds) out of the playoffs. And that was the season of Fernando-mania.

Hmm... Well this should make that rivalry even more interesting.

The Red Sox must have a new manager...

You beat me to it.

(Sorry, @Nemo14 , we still love you.)

Though you may have some 'splainin to do to @acishere after this recent development...

Trivia time:

Today back in 1981, the longest game ever for a certain ballpark was played. The game went 19 innings, and was suspended with a tie score of 7-7. The game resumed the next day and was finally won 8-7 in the 20th inning. At what ballpark did this multi-day game take place, and what team ended up winning?

I think one of the team's were the Mets, was it at Shea?

Cleveland has a record 15 game winning streak going, and Arizona has a 13 game winning streak going as they were off last night.

Michael A. Taylor was credited with an inside the park grand slam when Odubel Herrera misplayed a ball in CF and jogged after it when it went over his head.

Super disappointed with the effort from the Cubs this weekend. Seems like they're just going through the motions at this point.

Scores from last night...which one was football?

Chicago 17, Detroit 7
Philadelphia 10, Miami 0
Houston 13, Cincinnati 9
Chicago 14, NY 6

Brewers blew 6-0 lead and lost to Cards 7-6. That eliminates them and makes Rockies second NL wild card. I wonder how much they celebrate before their game against the Dodgers tonight.

The way Houston and Cleveland dominated their opponents last night, it looks like the path to the World Series in the AL goes through one of them.

One game in baseball doesn't mean very much. But Cleveland has been the hottest team for a long stretch of games so they're the favorite if you have to pick one.

Considering Houston is one game away from a sweep....the only thing stopping them is a massive collapse.

Sox out...
