The Cubs Will Have To Wait 'Til Next Year
The Cubs suffered a 3-1 loss last night, becoming the first team eliminated in the post-season and sending the Dodgers to the NLCS. Los Angeles pitcher Hiroki Kuroda held Chicago's offense at bay, throwing 6 1/3 innings and allowing no runs. The Cubs now get to shuffle home with the consolation of t...
It's Go Big Or Go Home For Brewers, Cubs
Tonight belongs to the National League as the Phillies and the Dodgers try to advance to the Championship series with one more win. I beg of both lagging teams, can we please have a Divison series go beyond 3 games? Just one, please? Show you care, dammit! And should the Phillies win, look out for D...
Boston and Tampa One Win Away From the ALCS

I know that a lot of you will be commenting with heavy hearts today, in the wake of the Yankees stunning loss to the Detroit Tigers last night. It took the Tigers just four games to oust the Yankees from the playoffs, send George Steinbrenner into a murderous rage, make Brian Cashman hide under hi...
It's As If They Don't Like A-Rod In New York...
The Yankees/Tigers game is underway right now, and it's as if Joe Torre is already angling to make sure that any blame for their impending early exit from the playoffs is directed at Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod was moved to the 8-spot in the batting lineup today, between Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera. B...
There Is Much To Be Decided
Today's a pretty significant day in baseball, being the last day of the season and all. Quite a few things are still up in the air, particularly in the AL. And I'll be honest with you... I'm probably not going to see a second of it. I am of the belief that Sundays are for football, and that's how ...
