MLB World Series 2018: Eh. Dodgers/Boston. Eh.

I'm sure if you showed up there with a big enough truck to haul it away, Jeter would let you have it and it could be in your back yard by the end of the day.

 

I'm sure they'll find a way.

 

The New York Mets, the best team in baseball has won again. Lock it up now, superbowl champs, going to Disneyworld and the rings. What, they loose the next 30 in a row. Is this Ready, Player Two and we’re inside the Complex and it’s run by Keith Hernandez and the prize is Bobby Bonilla’s one million dollars.

 

I think they have. Laurence Leavy, "Marlins Man" (or as I like to think of him, this generation's baseball version of the rainbow wigged "John 3:16" man), has said he will not attend Marlins home games for the first time since the franchise first took the field in 1993 (he's had prime season tickets every year since 1993). He offered to buy three years worth of four Diamond Club level seats for $200,000 with the check up front. Because he was paying cash and paying upfront and because the team got rid of its stars, he discounted the offer by 20 percent. The Marlins turned him down.

He's said he'll take "Marlins" off his orange shirt, and will consider wearing another team's shirt if any are interested.

It's fun when a broadcaster goes after the audience

People are trying to cover for him, "he didn't mean it that way". I hated him as a Cubs announcer in the early 90's and didn't miss him when he left.

I mean, Steve Stone was an ass, but at least he was tolerable alongside Harry.

 

Not only did Shohei Ohtani have a bases-loaded triple, he had this adorable encounter with a young fan.

I'm loving Ohtani more and more.

 

I ended up liking Chip about as much as I liked Brennaman. Obviously it would've been cool to see Harry I & Harry III together. Maybe Chip would've been more tolerable alongside his grandfather.

 

I only saw the highlights but woooow...

 

*face meet palm*

 

It's a shame the Cubs were even in the position to have to come back like that. Their starting pitching sucks and their offense isn't far behind.

 

Six games were postponed today because of rain or snow (although two of them were part of a double-header). I wonder what the record is for a single day.
