Even with the Sox, you can say "at least we're not the A's"

We're probably 1-3 seasons away from being the A's, meaning basically dead team walking. But not yet!

Everyone in Los Angeles is having a pretty fun time right now

Shohei is so fucking good that he is simply entirely unrelatable. I find myself not caring enough to even watch the highlights! I did see the extended 50/50 reports though... And I am definitely excited to see him in post-season baseball (though I wish he was pitching too). The WBC stuff, especially the show-down with Trout, was fantastic.

I watch baseball for the failure. And the overcoming. And the guys who finally make it to the show in unlikely ways. All that good stuff.

Oh, the BBC has MLB now.

The comments are brutal.

I have seen Jeff Passan report on ESPN that he has gotten some extended tapes from his pitching practices recently, based on which he believes he's ready for a pitching start in the post season.

Michael Jordan ain't walking through that door, again, again and once more again for his baseball stint.

Yeah, it is possible. Starting pitching is not exactly their strength as is. We shall see!

Godammit.
Momentum-wise, the Brewers game last night hinged on Payamps not covering first base properly and then not checking home for the throw. What a shitshow. We'll see what tonight will bring.

Tigers v. Astros was pretty electric.

That didn't end well, still stings, maybe more thoughts on it later. The Mets are clearly going to the World Series now that they got the Brewers bump (see 2019-20, 2022-23).

Not going to lie, I got a little verklempt watching Mets teammates hugging Lindor right after last night's grand slam, pretty sweet moment.

I would love to see Mets v. Padres in the NLCS.
