November 2, 20178 yr Congrats to Houston and to their fans. A hard fought series and a well deserved championship.
October 13, 20187 yr My favorite moment of the post season so far http://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/24970210 Priceless!
October 13, 20187 yr Author Thought you would like that! Go Brewers!!! ...and now for something you won't like, but Shelly will, Go Astros!!!
October 29, 20187 yr Haha great way to end it with Machado on the ground with a strike out.Sent from my LG-LS998 using Tapatalk
January 22, 20197 yr Screw baseball and their moronic secret ballot Hall of Fame voting. Clemens and Bonds not getting voted in year after year is a disgrace. The way baseball as a sport has handled the PED era is asinine beyond belief. Judge, jury and executioner indeed. *END RANT*

Love how much traction MLB got here this year. I think the Nats were my quaternary team in the NL, after Braves, Cubs, Giants, but now that they've won, I guess I'll just care even less. (Mainly, I liked their hats, and seeming, I like their chanting fan base.) Sorry for your loss, Shelly!
November 19, 20196 yr https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/if-the-astros-stole-signs-how-much-did-it-help-them/ Super curious to find out what, if anything, comes of this Astros scandal. Would the MLB go so far as to invalidate their championship?
January 13, 20206 yr Not stripping the title from the Astros? That seems unfair to the rest of the teams. They got off easy?
January 13, 20206 yr supposedly taubman's punishment effectively equals a permanent ban but the same should have been applied to other folks or they should have taken many more picks away. NBA took away like 5+ years of picks from minnesota for something way less damaging. feels closer to a slap on the wrist. not surprised.
January 13, 20206 yr Update from at least a few minutes ago - Astros fire their GM and manager (I mean makes sense, why pay them or have them on staff for a whole year of suspension)
January 26, 20215 yr There are a lot of reason why baseball has lost me as a fan over the years but this one has always stuck out. The baseball hall of fame is such a joke.
October 16, 20214 yr https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-10-11/mlb-rule-changes-atlantic-league-tests-tweaks-meant-to-save-baseball Fun article. The MLB knows it’s game is losing fans (too many strike outs, too few balls in play, not enough stolen bases, too many mound visits), but they are trying to fix it with experiments in the minor leagues. Examples: automated balls and strikes (thank god!), larger bases to make steals easier, moving the pitching mound back a foot or two to give batters more reaction time.
October 17, 20214 yr I don't like any of those ideas except for automated balls and strikes. That one is overdue. I think baseball should be left alone. It's a slow sport which clashes with the hyper ADD of modern times, but its slow grind is part of what makes it special. Of course, I'm old, so I'm not the demographic they care about.

Agreed, I will take a 1-0 pitcher's duel over a 10-9 slugfest anyday.
