Dave Roberts Was Wrong, And It Cost The Dodgers Game 1
It’s easy to blame the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Game 1 loss in the NLCS on Joe Blanton.

To make sure any hope...
Miguel Montero Is A Hero, Cubs Take Game 1 Of NLCS

Andrew Miller Is Filthy, And Cleveland Is Using Him In The Best Way
Cleveland Indians reliever Andrew Miller took the mound with one out in the seventh inning against the Toronto Blue Jays Friday, which was the latest he had entered a game so far this postseason.
