Got the tickets about a month ago.When I saw who was starting for the Jays I figured it could be a long game.Certainly was interesting for both starters.Got out of there around 10:30Well, you certainly got your money's worth!
Washington Nationals all the way to the World Series against the Baltimore Orioles!!! The Nats starting rotation is terrific, they just signed a great closer to replace the aging Washington Strangler (Papelbon), Daniel Murphy & Wilson Ramos are #1 and #2 in NL batting average (and Werth and Rendon are very hot), and their defense is excellent. If Bryce Harper heats back up, it'll be all over for the rest of you but the crying.
If I weren't an avid Nats fan, my NL team of choice would be the Cubs. Joe Maddon is awesome, though the Nats' Dusty Baker is also great. Last year, their manager Matt Williams drove me crazy.Just read up on The Nationals. Y'might be onto s.t. here, FB. Even w/ their crazy W streaks, mound successes, etc., I cannot imagine THE CUBS playing a single inning of World Series ball. And this is not b/c I was raised a CHISOX fan, but b/c these are the Chicago Cubs to which we refer.
I notice KC's sneaking back up there. Anybody think there's enough time left for the Royals to take another run at it?

...and the meltdown of Card's hurler Andújar.
I remember him. That was his specialty, wasn't it?
MLB is my favorite sport and I am a lifelong Cardinal fan. As usual injuries have been plentiful this year. And I heard yesterday our rookie SS Aledmys Diaz is on the DL with a broken hand after getting hit with a pitch. Diaz, Carpenter, Moss, Peralta, Lynn, etc all on the DL. If they can get healthy and make the playoffs, anything can happen. It's all about making the playoffs and peaking at the right time. At least with the injuries some other players are getting a chance to play and shine.
Several teams are trying to go for it this year. Should be fun to watch. Right now I would say the Cubs and Rangers look pretty tough. But recent history shows there is a sleeper/spoiler that will stir things up.
Fun stuff for this old man.
Well, they've made a very slight improvement to their offense (Chooch is still a bit of a threat against lefties) at the expense of disrupting team harmony. Kershaw, evidently, is pretty miffed and several other teammates registered their disapproval as well. Ellis was universally well regarded in the clubhouse, it seems.LA Dodger front office number crusher crushes players and fans hearts with the really ****ed up AJ Ellis trade.
Idiot Bastards.
Abdul the Bean Counter whips out his abacus and figures the Dodgers can squeeze out two more hits with Ruiz, screw team chemistry, friendships and team leadership.Well, they've made a very slight improvement to their offense (Chooch is still a bit of a threat against lefties) at the expense of disrupting team harmony.

Well, I said a very slight improvement to offense. I didn't say anything about defense ...BTW, Ruiz had two passed balls last night leading to a run, both would have been better defensed by AJ.
I know Noogs but everybody knows good defense always beats good offense.Well, I said a very slight improvement to offense. I didn't say anything about defense ...
