Maybe switch leagues and stay closer to Baltimore w/ either the Nationals or Phillies? OR join Bosox fandom (or even the new Mets?!?) to intensify that rivalry and hate against dem Yankees (and the rest of your family)? :D

Not quite the same, but the Padres OTOH are on fire and definitely trying hard to push the Dodgers, et al for the pennant for these next couple years or so (and possibly more)...
At least the Mets did acquire both Lindor and Carrasco earlier w/out losing all that much (they couldn't actually...
Having a new billionaire owner who seems willing to spend (much much more than the Wilpons) will probably help...
And now, they'll have Lindor and Cookie to spend some of that $$$...

Guess one (albeit shortened) season during this pandemic was enough for him. Can't blame him for getting away until this might be over...
Wonder how this will impact the Cubbies given they seem to be approaching some sorta crossroads soon-ish, if not already... Tough calls since their...
Agreed for the most part. I wouldn't get too mad at this Braves team though. They are mostly very young and still relatively inexperienced and has a lot of bright future ahead... and did lose to the likely best team in MLB (as you alluded) afterall...
Should be fun to see some growing...
Much congrats to the Rays on a well deserved ALCS and pennant win!
Thanks much for representing (and salvaging) what's best about this sport we so love!

Manfred probably should've doled out some reasonable, negotiated suspensions that are substantially shorter than they otherwise would've been. IF the MLBPA wanna file grievances against that, let them deal w/ the public backlash regardless of the outcome of such proceedings.
Giving offending...
Not sure why you think others do not recognize those things while also recognizing they seem to be remorseless cheaters who got to sneak into this postseason only because of the expanded format. Com'on. It's not like these Astros even entered the postseason w/ a break-even record, but were 2...
Huh... I didn't notice via SlingTV -- it looked about the same as the other games, and the broadcast certainly didn't seem to tout 4K, let alone HDR. Guess SlingTV didn't actually have a 4K HDR feed?

All those injuries, especially to the big men, have finally caught up enough w/ the Yanks it seems... but they're still gonna make the playoffs easy, especially w/ this expanded format. Still mainly about getting healthy and hot enough for the postseason itself at this point...

This shortened season has just been whacky. You don't need Tommy Millone to enjoy some football scores, LOL.
Millone actually normally would serve the purpose well enough during most Septs, but this is not the usual Sept...

Ok, here yah go... for those of us who held out to see how this shortened season works out and a final month stretch run deal to happen...

Dem Friars in San Diego are pushing all-in and nabbed an ace SP (in his prime and controllable...
They look like they might get lonely out there... ;)
Are those just some kind of sample proofs, not real photos of their actual placements at the park?

Welp... Can't help wondering if the Marlins are just perfectly representing their state... :rolleyes:
I may just have to call off our fantasy league before too long...
