RIP Gene "Stick" Michael

Perhaps the most valuable member of the Yankees organization in the last 50 years.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Holy fucking shit! 22 wins in a row for Cleveland. That's insane! Maybe this is their year.

BAM!!

He seems back to early season form. It's scary how potentially awesome Judge could be. Obviously, he has the makings of a superstar. And what better place than NYC? He'll have multi-million dollar endorsement deals before he even comes close to free agency.

Advancing in the playoffs is always cool too.

mlb.com's headline writer is either very brave or very stupid...

Doesn't anyone else here watch baseball anymore?

Dodgers, Cubs, Nats, Yankees in the mix?

The Trashley household will be tested this weekend.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying tonight's game. That Rockies rally was something else.

Why care about baseball when you're just going to witness your team get blown up again?

Worst part is, I know we will get shit for Stanton.

Sure! Naturally, I was happy with the Yankees' Wild Card Game victory last night. Exciting stuff. Now they're facing Cleveland and will have quite the challenge, but anything is possible in the MLB playoffs.

I'm for Arizona, Houston, Cleveland, and Washington this week.
I'm for the AL to win it all if Houston and Cleveland win this week.

I won my fantasy baseball league (no one cares, dude).

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Fantasy baseball is underrated. It's the only other fantasy sport outside of football that works.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah I love it. And congrats on your title Tourist. I won my league this year too and it felt fucking great.

My regular season record was 17-4-2. Which is incredible seeing as more than half my team spent time on the DL.

 

[lazarus]

More like Corey Klobbered, amirite??

 

[lazarus]

Joe Girardi is a fucking moron.

You get a lucky gift like that, you don't throw it back.

 

[LemonMelon]

Being a DC sports fan is a living hell

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There's always the Wizards

 

[MrPryck2U]

Fuck!





Needless to say, if the Yankees won 3 straight, it would be miraculous.

 

[phanan]

At least they put up a fight. I didn't expect the Sox to get far, but I thought they'd at least make somewhat of a decent showing.

 

[gump]

Pretty happy I spent my Friday seeing The National instead of Girardi fucking up.

Sometimes you have to destroy something to save it. I would like to believe this is a new corner for your team, and I'm hoping you come out of it for the better.

After you trade Stanton to the Red Sox.

 

[speedracer]

Bold move by Terry Francona to burn a pinch hitter in order to get Robertson out and force Chapman into a 5-out save.

 

[LemonMelon]

I want to say today's loss was especially excruciating and embarrassing, but it really wasn't. Pretty typical stuff. I've suffered through a bunch of these.

 

[lazarus]

Dusty Baker, ladies and gentlemen.


Also, fucking Quintana...that creep can roll, man.

 

[LemonMelon]

I want to blame it all on Dusty but we're batting, what, .150 as a team this series?

The whole ship is sinking, right around October 10-15th, like always.

 

[lazarus]

The Cubs aren't batting much better, correct?

They also committed 4 errors today, just not fatal ones.

It's not satisfying to have to chalk a loss up to bad luck but that's kind of the case in this one.


Also, if Girardi wasn't such a fool, the Yankees could have closed out this series tonight, which seems miraculous. I'm not sure how much faith to have in Sabathia for the rematch but the Indians have to be reeling right now considering the high they were on when the playoffs started.
