@seilerbird You don't have to convince me. But baseball fans are significantly older than any other sport. If we want the sport to survive, we have to appeal to the younger fan.

...and so begins (what my former students came to know as)
The Saddest Day Of The Year...

Not really. The Mariners are suddenly undefeated and tied for first place!

No matter what any baseball game is 1000 times better than any basketball game. Talk about boring.

I really enjoy both (and don't care for hockey). But different strokes, etc.

Pearce used to be a Pirate, so I am happy for him.

Playing the Red Sox is akin to stepping in a wasp nest! Score the first blow, you better watch out!

Sad News...

Growing up an AL guy, there were only a few NL players I knew anything at all about...Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays...And this HOFer...

That's a tough post to click like on, but I did for the fond memories I heard about Mr. McCovey. I don't remember all that well watching him play.

I don't think it is a coincidence that team bringing home lots of defensive gol (Braves, Sox, As, DBacks) all played above expectations this year.

 

[the harp unstrung]

Hey! Y’all II!

(Of Course! they haven’t tendered him an offer yet...asshats!!)

 

[the harp unstrung]

Well, Well, Well...

Whoda thunk it??!!

 

[buldog5151bass]

I'm seeing Machado to the Phil's.


Unfortunately.

 

[the harp unstrung]

Macheater to the NL East?

Bring it, bitch...

 

[buldog5151bass]

I have a feeling the Phils are going to be like George Steinbrenner this winter. Just sayin'.

 

[the harp unstrung]

Day Um!

This could get habit-forming!!!

...and so, to recap...

...kinda gratifying to know that I wasn’t the Only person watching these Braves night after night after night...after night after night for the last 6+ months...

...got plenty of room up here if you’d like to jump on board!

We have beer!

Blake Snell won the AL Cy Young. He's from Seattle.

deGrom won for the Metsies, with only 10 wins. He deserved it. There was a period of a month when they wouldn't get him more than a run, while their other pitchers were getting SOME support. At least two games, he drove in the only runs for the team.
