Madison Bumgarner Takes Six Beers To The Face
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner "chugged" four beers at once when his team won the wild card play-in game.

Dodgers Lose Game 6, Will Not Be Going To The World Series
The dream season came to an end for the Los Angeles Dodgers last night in Game 6 of the NLCS behind ace Clayton Kershaw. It was a terrible outing for Kershaw, who gave up seven earned runs on 10 hits and lasted only four innings. ...
Hanley won't start: Hanley Ramirez, bothered by a fractured rib since Game 1, will not start at shortstop for the Dodgers in tonight's Game 6 of the NLCS. Nick Punto will take his place and bat eighth. Don Mattingly hopes Ramirez can pinch hit but says Ramirez "doesn't feel like he can swing the bat...
