MLB 2019

Aaaaaand once again, the Cubs beat the Cards and the Brewers fell to the Rockies. Jeez, Milwaukee, we’re setting up the pins and you’re throwing gutter balls!

We just wanted to make it interesting on the final day of the regular season. The last part of that sentence made me really sad.

Low, low close move by the Pirates firing Clint Hurdle an hour before the last game of the season.
Nutting, the owner of the Pirates, has to be the worst pro sports team owner around.

Agreed. There was no call for that. Let him finish the year, then tell him, and then the public.

By the way, great ending for the Mets. I think every player got into the game. He pulled Alonzo out during the inning, so he could get applause from the crowd. Bullpen blows the lead, giving up back to back home runs, then Dominic Smith, on the first pitch he's seen after being on the IL for two months (and hitting in Alonzo's spot), wins the games on a home run.

By the way, one thing you have to look for - remember Adeiny Hechavaria - was cut cut by the Mets the day before qualifying for a million dollar roster bonus (granted, they had several players come off the IL on that day, so they had to make a move)? He hit two home runs in he game. Rounding the bases on the second one, he was quite unsuccessful in hiding a #$_&# eating grin.

Aw man! That seems vindictive. I’ll never understand missteps like that. Team image goes a long way toward attracting players and selling tickets.

Sad and stupid. Hurdle is a class act.
 
Rockies close out the season with a 4-3 win in the 13th. We left at the end of the 10th, because 4+ hour games from a team that won 71 total games is a bit much to ask.

Go, Minshew!! Time for Minshew Mania to sweep the NFL!!
I have been waiting for your Minshew comments about last Sunday. You have been suspiciously quiet!
