The AL East is a poor man's 2015 NL Central. They have the three best teams in the AL, but the way the bracket is set up, if it remains that way, the 2nd and 3rd place teams would play in the WC round with the winner of that playing the division winner. Which also means one team from the AL Central or West will be in the ALCS.

I don't think it's hyperbole to say to whatever small extent the Reds window was open Green going down slams it shut?

Like their path to the playoffs was "get 15 wins out of Greene/Burns/Elly and have the team be at least decent otherwise."  Now you basically need Elly to have a PCA-sized breakout to get there?  Which to be fair if there's another guy possibly capable of Pete things he's on the short list but that's still a really tall order.

So apparently the Rays almost traded Junior Caminero for Shohei a couple years ago.

General rant....I get home every morning and watch quick pitch on MLB. In general I like the show because they do fairly comprehensive highlights of every game. But WTF do they think they need a half dressed bimbo be the commentator half the time?

Calling a professional sports anchor a “bimbo” is ignorant in any context

Have you watched it? Its not everyday, but my very progressive wife, when this one particular woman is on cringes about her lack of any reason to be on the show than being half dressed. 

And my bigger complaint is not about her....its about the audience the MLB Network is chasing
