Both teams are 9-3 in the post season and won games 6 and 7 of the LCS on the road. Texas outscored the Rays 11-1, the O's 21-11. Arizona won both games in Milwaukee and LA before the NLCS.

If AZ wins that will make another team with 2 WS titles since the Tigers won last believe in Karma? Phillies were chirping about jumping in the pool in the AZ ballpark when they clinched the series there.

Is there even a mechanism to allow for a case where some R’s cave and vote for Jefferies? How does it even get to a vote?

Santiago also won’t be back. Lots of Avila guys let go. Gabe Alvarez in the running for 1B.

and that's a reminder that Randy Smith traded Cecil Fielder and Travis Fryman, possibly 2 our 2 best players* in the 1990's... for Matt Drews.

We coudn't afford him. Then the next year we signed Dean Palmer for more money. Fryman really only had 2 decent years in Cleveland thoush so if he stayed here who knows...

Houston was 1-5 this year at home in the playoffs. I can't believe people left the game early last night. It was game 7. There's no clock in baseball. Sure they had a slim chance to win but why risk seeing the most incredible comeback in playoff history at that point? I know traffic in Houston stucks (Houston is one hour away from Houston) but you spent the money and time, what's an extra few minutes?

Max didn’t make it out of the third but he didn’t exactly implode.

Damn good game so far.

Charlie has been fired by the News.

“Over there”

hey, leave my wife out of this

Intent matters. Do you think someone was trying to be pro nazi? From what I have read someone was doing some youtube trivia channel thing on the board and didn't screen the photos. Was someone trying to intimidate with this? Or be cute? I really don't think it harmed anyone. It was dumb and careless.

agreed. I think he's done. Very admirable career. Lived up to his contract, rare for a pitcher to do that. I'm glad he was a Tiger. His performance out of the bullpen in 2013 was one of the greatest moments we saw during that 2011-2013 run.

So the Hitler thing at Spartan Stadium on Saturday..... dumb. Obviously. Someone wasn't paying attention and was letting the trivia thing just go through its process. But the reaction has been overblown. I'm sorry but nobody felt 'unsafe'. That was a word I heard. Even with whats going on in the world. Let's not get stupid. I know MSU has its issues going on and has to put on a strong face in controversy but.... come on. Our kids are stronger than we think.

I've been impressed with all the teams so far. Houston just looks like they know they will win. They went into Texas looking like they were up 2-0 instead of down 0-2. Last night Texas could have folded. It looked like Houston was about to take the lead. Arizona hung in there but I think Philly whoops them tonight.

There’s a game 7 tonight. Hope there’s one tomorrow. Houston will take it and Philly wins.

Yeah that one person in Wyoming.

Mike Lawler again on CNN blaming democrats. "handful of members in our conference teamed up with democrats. Voters decided to have a republican house to be a check on this admin". Voters don't pick the entire house. They pick one of 435.

you are closer but that whole thing puzzles me. He doesn't seem like their kind of guy but snatch him up, so quickly that some suggest he had overtures with them and that's what led to him being fired. He does what they ask, delivers a winner, then they get rid of him for doing that. It's like fooling around with someone, divorcing your spouse for that person, marrying them, then divorcing them for being someone who fooled around. They knew what they were getting. They got it.

I see 15 for "others"..... I don't think that's going to get it done

"The election was stolen! They tricked us!"

I'm on the Phillie bandwagon. I've morphed into an anti-astros guy. Not because of the cheating or whatever. But they impressed me the way they marched into Arlington like they were up 2-0 instead of down 2-0.
