September 27, 20241 yr Hoping Minnesota makes it. Would love to see them in their ball gag and gimp suit if they have to play the Yankees again.

September 27, 20241 yr It’s embarrassing they’ve only had one game to try….but they got all of 18 innings in that 1 game!

His posturing that there was nothing wrong with the Dome when Bud was trying to get a new stadium and then after the Nashville talks to move the team prevented us from ever having a realistic chance to keep the Oilers. Remember Drayton REDUCED payroll his first season at Enron Field. I did a 40 page paper on the Oilers moving and Houston stadium issues back in 1996 for my sports law class. Got an A+ on it and during my research developed a loathing for that Baylor son of a bitch. Finally, Drayton’s lack of taste when it comes to design and architecture that is clearly visible at his toilet bowl namesake stadium at Rapelor is, unfortunately, also evident at MMP. The Sports Authority has approved money for renovations to MMP and Toyota Center. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/08/20/hchsa-approves-stadium-renovations-for-minute-maid-park-toyota-center/ I hope some of that money goes to re-skin MMP. Bullshit, hokey, fake old timey ballpark BS aesthetic never belonged for a Houston baseball stadium. Take inspiration from Bernabeu in Madrid and do something modern and consistent with “Astros”. Get rid of the outfield train and turn the HR celebration to something honoring our history with the Dome and space travel, maybe a rocket launching or something. 3 hours ago, uoftorange said:

September 27, 20241 yr This would have been a helluva MVP vote had Shohei done all of this in the AL this year:
September 27, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, TonyTexas said: The Cubs and Reds are ready for the offseason. Their game today took 1:48 Haha i saw they were starting a couple of hours ago and thought “man I’m sure those guys are just ready to get through Sunday.” 202 total pitches. Nick Martinez complete game loss on 95 pitches
September 27, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, UTexasFight said: A guy doing something no one has ever done before would have been a contest. I really don't think it would have been. As much as I'm not a fan of Judge (almost solely because he's a Yankee), he's better at everything this year but SB, and he plays the field well and Shoehei doesn't at all. Anyone voting Ohtani this year without pitching over Judge shouldn't be allowed to vote ever again. And that's not taking anything from Ohtani, but Judge is clearly having the better season. OPS Plus is 226 to 188 for Judge, WAR is 10.8 to 8.8 for Judge I agree fans see them as similar years on the surface, but even a tiny dive shows a blowout by Judge would occur.

September 28, 20241 yr Benetti is one of the best. He is a south Chicago kid, so I doubt he's actually enjoying this THAT much. Edited September 28, 20241 yr by Beau Vine
September 28, 20241 yr Amazing turnaround by the Royals -- making the playoffs one season after recording 106 losses. Tip of the cap to KC.
September 28, 20241 yr 58 minutes ago, Gourmand said: That Monday double-header in ATL will be very interesting. They gonna play it even if it’s just for seeding? if that’s all that’s left, gotta think you’re going to see two straight games of nothing but bench players to avoid having to fly cross country to play in SD the next day (vs MKE)

The wild card scenarios for these three remaining teams are wide open. That double-header is huge.

September 29, 20241 yr Dodger offense exploding tonight. Locked up the MLB best record. Now let’s do something.
September 29, 20241 yr Quote Bobby Witt Jr. became one of the just 22 players in baseball history to have a nine WAR season before he even turned 25 years old. It’s quite the list: Mookie Betts Ty Cobb (twice) Eddie Collins (twice) Jimmie Foxx Lou Gehrig Bryce Harper Gunnar Henderson Rogers Hornsby (twice) Reggie Jackson Shoeless Joe Jackson (twice) Mickey Mantle (twice) Willie Mays (twice) Stan Musial Cal Ripken Jr. Babe Ruth Mike Schmidt Tris Speaker Mike Trout (3 times) Alex Rodriguez (twice) Arky Vaughan Ted Williams (twice)
September 29, 20241 yr Coming from the same franchise who cut someone who was about to receive a bonus, sounds like a bunch of bullshit

September 29, 20241 yr End of the Oakland era was pretty sad. I don’t have as much money as Rickey, so I am allowed to be sad.
September 30, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, Beau Vine said: I'm sure no shady shit will go down. Braves have to play in San Diego if they win a game, so they might just send half the team to San Diego if they win game 1.

Ah, well, I'm sure the Commissioner's Office considered this possibility when they chose to tack the games on at the end rather than playing a neutral site DH last week, and they undoubtedly came up with a rule to prevent this from happening and will levy substantial penalties if any schenanigans occur.
