Or anyone dead for that matter…
…getting a bit ahead of ourselves, I see. That’s OK. The Mets make better underdogs than favorites anyway.
That took me a second.
- Bullshit - what purpose would it have served Arrieta to go hunting last night?
- If the Pirates are all pissed off at Arrieta, then why just throw at his ass in retaliation? If he’s truly “head hunting”, then throw at his fucking head.
Yeah, the Cubs didn’t start playing at Wrigley until 8 years after their last championship.
You know what I meant, dammit! 
The Cubs did not play at “Wrigley Field” until 1927, twenty years after their last World Series title, though they did win a National League pennant in the same ballpark in 1918.
The first major league championship flag in the ballpark then known as Weeghman was flown exactly 100 years ago, and not by the Cubs.
If I am any pitcher with any chance of facing the Toronto Blue Jays in the postseason I would be watching Yovani Gallardo really closely. Whatever the hell he knows about getting the Jays out, it works.
And put it in the books, Texas up 1 game to none on the Blue Jays.
2 HBPs, one home run, and 3 runs scored for Rougned Odor
Surprised by both AL game results. Donaldson needs further analysis tomorrow to determine if he can play?
Hustletown is a dynamic team, I won’t be surprised to see them make a fight with any opponent here.
I did expect the Jays to control their series out of the gate. I know it’s not thought to be anything of concern, but Donaldson and Bautista both getting banged up and pulled from the game feels a little ominous.
Donaldson’s collision looked painful and I was surprised he wasn’t yanked immediately.
That’s baseball. As Joaquin Andujar said, you can sum baseball up in one word; youneverknow. For all we know Donaldson won’t play today and they’ll have to play Cliff Pennington and he’ll go 3-for-4 with two RBIs.
Good news for Toronto, Donaldson and Joey Bats are both in the lineup today. First pitch in about 2 hours from now.
Four games today! I am in hog heaven. Very fortunate, my schedule will allow me to watch every one of them.
Anyone else?
Nice!
I will get to watch the last two. Sadly, the one that I care about the most starts about the time I generally am falling asleep. Maybe I’ll just go home and take a nap during the Cards/Cubs game.
You are killing me Asimovian!
The Cub/Cards game is the one to watch!
Mets - Dodgers should be the best for the first two games at a minimum. There will be no finger pitching on display.
Trust me, I will be a hardcore Cubs fan for that series (there’s a guy down the hall from me in the office flying the W on his door). But if I’m going to have any hope of staying up until 1am waiting for a Kershaw victory tonight, there are going to have to be sacrifices…
