Shocker. I'm in to talking Baseball again Wonder if it has anything to do with the Red Sox being so good right now? Maybe. Okay, definitely. I'm a total front runner, when it comes to this sport. I admit it That said, I need to talk about a few young players whose names start with B. Bogaerts, Betts, Bradley and Benintendi. You would think seeing David Ortiz go, after this season, given how well he's still hitting, would be a scary prospect. But it's oddly totally fine. Because they have this young core of 5 tool players, at short and their entire outfield, that has everyone here so excited right now. It's beyond prospects, it's beyond potential. They're already doing it All of them are excellent on defense. They are all fast. They all have strong arms, in particularly Betts and Bradley, who have world class guns from the outfield. They can all hit for average and power. Betts could be MVP this season. Benintendi and Bogaerts have perfect swings and always makes contact. And because the Sox are one of the lucky teams that can spend like crazy, they can hold on to all of them, no problem, for as long as they want. Looking forward to seeing these young bucks in the playoffs, in to next year and beyond

Sox are loaded with youth on offense and it's great to see, but the rotation needs help.
Jose Fernadez killed in a boating accident this morning. WOW. That dude was a phenom and only 24.

This was pretty cool. Dude is a God in the Dominican Republic. Sometimes I regret not enjoying him play because of my Yanks.

When your best pitcher is Ricky Porcello heading into the playoffs, it's going to be tough. But who knows since they can score on anyone at home and the lineup is dangerous even on the road. Have to win every game at home.

Man the Giants have done their best to buttfuck the Cardinals over the last 6 years and today is no different. I am really happy to be in the WC game, but man do I like Matheny and he deserves more success than he has gotten.

I am really happy to be in the WC game, but man do I like Matheny and he deserves more success than he has gotten. I was super bummed last night. One game away! AARRRGGHHH! The Giants have definitely screwed the Cards over recently. That said, it never should have come down to that one game. The Cards gave away FAR too many games this season, between sketchy pitching and horrible fielding errors. If they had won even a fraction of those games, they would have been in the WC game easily.

Bumgarner vs Thor tomorrow? Damn. That's fantastic. Syndergaard better have his A game and be ready to go 8 shutout innings to have a chance.
O's at Toronto tonight is a good kickoff. Hard to call as both Stroman and Tillman are hit and miss. Have to take the home team and see Toronto pulling it off.

Not sure if LA is a baseball fan at all, but if the Indians beating the Sox makes him feel a little better this week, then I say so be it

I hate to say it, but what a shit show the american league is this. Not one good rotation in the entire playoff field. If your an AL Fan, you better hope any team other than the Cubs make the WS, so its at least competitive.

I respect the guy. He always beat the crap out of us, so I'm glad we're the ones who send him packing.
Btw, the Tribe has a big Dominican presence on our team. Danny Salazar, Carlos Santana, Abraham Almonte, José Ramirez. Just so you know. May want to follow us instead of those goddamn Yanks. :-)

Right, I get all that, I just mean in the court of public opinion. Lets not forget that this guy was a completely different hitter in Minnesota. Just funny, how for some reason, he got a pass in the publics eyes. Whereas everyone else, is guilty by association.
