Yankees and Red Sox went into extra innings last night.
This new rule is fucking stupid. Even though my team won, a team should earn their runs. This rule has to go away.

Gardy has missed some games recently due to health issues. Hopefully this is not something really serious, but the timing seems odd given that the season is almost over anyway. Gardy has been very popular here in Michigan and has turned the ship around mostly with young prospect players.
Are the Marlins in the post-season? If so that means we'll win our third WS.....
Think I'll watch that Marlins/Yankees game today just for shits and giggles.
I watched more baseball today than I have in a couple years (7 innings). That was an embarrassing, ass kicking.
I am just gonna take a wild guess that we'll see some real fuckery from MLB farming first or even second round games to subpar cable channels or god forbid, MLB TV.

So somewhat amazingly, 28 out of the 30 teams played a full 60 game schedule with the help of all those shortened double-headers. The only games not played were two between STL and Detroit.
This will be an interesting scenario with the playoffs considering that an 8th seed stands a good shot of winning 2 out of 3 and advancing. That said, MLB is doing a "bracket challenge" on their website, which makes you wonder some of the actual motivations of having a 16 team playoff tournament.
FWIW, looks like the Twins are the hottest AL team in September with the Rays pretty much keeping pace. In the NL, the Dodgers and Reds had the best Septembers.
Watch out for the Reds. The Braves are in a vulnerable place pitching wise. If the Reds win, they take on the winner of Cubs/Marlins. They could find themselves into the NLCS if they aren't careful.
The AL seems wide open, but since the Twins wouldn't have to face the Yankees unless they meet in the ALCS, they may make it beyond Houston and the ChiSox/A's winner. And the Yanks are no guarantee to get passed the Indians in a short series considering Bieber/Carrasco/Plesac.
If nothing else, it should be interesting to see what happens.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Twins have a VERY unstable bullpen but some killer starting pitching. I think they can handle the garbage-can bangers but it will be tough after that.

It's a new season. Anything goes.
I, too, am shocked that they got this season in. Kudos to the league.

I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
So if nothing else, and to be honest I didn’t fact check this lol, today is a day in MLB history. There are/were 8 playoff games played today.
WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
Despite having home field advantage, the Twins dropped trou, bent over, and offered themselves up to the most despised franchise in baseball (who did not finish about .500). I can be quite profane but I can't even summon the amount that it would take to display the amount of frustration and rage I have with my team.

Wild one in Cleveland last night, but the Indian's futility continues. Yankees are off to San Diego to meet The Rays, who have pretty much owned them all season. This one could get ugly, since the teams just don't get along. I have low expectations.
The worst part? I have to wait until Monday.

Cleveland baseball is as inept as Cleveland football.
