Congrats Biz !
we’re camping , so we are heading into town later for dinner  and to watch the Cards . The joint closes at 10:00….
Cards should have it locked up by then .
We’re in Letchworth so I’ll have to dodge the deer coming back , but perhaps bumper killed deer count ?

Bring your repel gear in case FSW gets a buck at the bottom!

Waino pulled himself out of a jam with a double play. That inning was nerve wracking.

Dodgers look good with a deep bullpen..

All star Matt Barnes didn’t even make the ALDS playoff roster lol. He blows

It took balls taking Scherzer out in the 5th of a tie game.

JD Martinez made the roster. Can his ankle hold up enough to DH and hit a few homers? Sox in 4!

I always liked Tony LaRussa….  unfortunately for him , his White Sox are getting spanked.

Ive always despised him. He grinds games to a crawl and is an rabid animal rights activist

I didn’t know he was a animal rights activist nut job…… but that’s all right , I married one. As far as slowing down the game , that’s all right with me too. The only one of the 4 major sports that doesn’t have a game clock. But they will ruin the game  if they implement the minor league rules….. imo.

The three batters per pitcher rule is a gift to all of us

I kinda like the extra inning rule though. Makes it exciting. Might be a DH in the NL next year eliminating any kind of strategy from the manager. Times they are a changing.

Last night Arozarena caught Taylor napping on the mound with a straight steal of home. You don’t see that play often. Plus Cruz’s blast off the catwalk.

Id like it better if the Yankees didnt always send three guys up trying to hit a two run homer. They did win a few of them late with small ball though. I love the DH. IMO the Cards should have pinch hit for Wainright the other night, I think it was in the 5th with a runner on?

Arozarena is a MENACE! Still haunts my dreams from last year

You think you have nightmares ? Try being a lifelong Mets fan.

The Cards had scoring chances especially when Scherzer didn’t have his A game going. Way too many 3-2 counts.

My dad loved the Mets. I remember him picking me up at Cub Scouts with the game on the radio and telling me that Strawberry was playing his first game

[BizCT]

How about those Red Sox? Wow. Sale gives up 5 runs and only pitches 1 inning. Houck keeps alive and we end up with 20 hits, 14 runs and MLB record By having 5 guys with 3 or more hits tonight.

We stole a road game and Eovaldi game 3 Sunday.

Anything is possible!

Imagine that and your dad being from the Bronx and a lifelong Yanks fan. I always bought him Yanks world series stuff in the 90s after they won the series. I remember one year he was dead series and asked me not to buy him anymore world series stuff because he had to many sweaters. 

Yeah as a mets fan born in 85 I don't have that problem. 

On a side note my travel baseball team went to a Yankees game and sat in the section next to the bleacher creatures I believe it was 1998. They were playing the twins I was 13 but I wore my Mets hat, in a later inning the guys from the bleachers started screaming obscenities at a then 13 year old kid. I waved my hat at them, they threw beer at me from 50 yards away, security came up to me and told me to remove my hat or I would be asked to leave!

That's a true story of Yankee stadium in the 90s. We live in a different world now.

2002-2005 was epic at Yankees Stadium for Sox/Yanks games. I usually wore a “Johnny is my homeboy” t shirt which was Damon looking like Jesus. So many fights in the bars before the games, during the games, bars after the games, etc.

The extra inning rule of putting a runner on 2nd base won't take place in the playoffs or World Series . The 3 batters rule for a reliever will still stay in place unless it's the end of their inning .

Sox in 4!

Fenway is rocking!

0-0 game in 3rd inning and Rays brought in Ace who started game 1 and Sox tagged him for 6 runs all with 2 outs.

One Rays hitter had an 18 pitch at bat earlier in game.

Congrats on Boston Biz.... I'll admit I thought NY or Boston had no shot of beating Tampa 

Our local kid Ian Anderson had a great outing with Atlanta  I'll be pulling for them.  Anybody but Houston in the AL..

On the nightmare  try being a rangers fan , we were one strike away a few years ago. Been down hill ever since.
