K thanks I'll need a refill in about a half hour. 

Didn't watch much of this series.  Like I said a week ago, it was pretty clear they were done when they went down 2-1 to Cleveland.  I didn't mean they couldn't come back against Cleveland, but rather there was no way this version of the team was gonna matchup to Houston.  Bullpen is too shaky and the bats just aren't there even if Judge went all Superman.  Instead he had a terrible series after a pretty bad Cleveland series.

, next round.

Turned out to be 37 minutes instead of a half hour.  And people say I have no self-control.  Thanks, forum, for timing me.

Let’s go Phillies!

How are the Yankees doing?

[Week]

Hat tip to Yankees fans.

I still think the Astros win it all, but the Phillies' lineup has a knack for getting hot at the right time throughout the postseason, which they're doing right now. 

[Tywin et al.]

Only watched two innings, but wild finish. Evil is 0-1. 

[KingintheNorth4]

Lol, they're whooping McCullers ass.

Sadly baseball is feeling irrelevant.

I mean, that's how I feel every year after the Yanks are eliminated.  Especially if the Stros or the Sawks are still alive.

Jokes aside, I've seen like zero advertisements for the WS and nobody I know is talking about it, which includes a lot of people who grew up playing baseball and softball. Seems like a far cry from days at overnight camp when we'd race every time to see the Sunday paper to look at how the Twins and White Soxs were doing in the early 2000's.

Again, yeah, it certainly seems different from when I was a kid growing up but..not much different to me than recent years.  Obviously it's hugely dependent on what you're exposed to generally anyway.

Am really looking forward to HBO's (11/8) upcoming "Say Hey, Willie Mays!" documentary.

Good for Dusty!

[KingintheNorth4]

Well, at least I'm happy for Dusty Baker. The Hall of Fame is waiting for him.

At the RealGM wiretap-

A baseball glove personally donated by Babe Ruth to St. Louis Browns third baseman Jimmy Austin sold Saturday at the 19th annual Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory auction for $1.53 million, shattering the record paid for a baseball glove.

Just saw the Pope met with Hal Steinbrenner.  We can only hope he performed a miracle and convinced him stop caring about the luxury tax - precipitating the Yanks signing Judge, Correa, Turner, DeGrom, Rodon and Benintendi.

[Ramsay B.]

If only Hal cared about the Yankees exactly how his dad did… or the Pope had any real power… or God cared about sports… or God was real. 

Will you settle for just Benintendi?

[Ramsay B.]

deGrom reportedly to Texas. 5 year $185. Conditional 6 year option.
