Just saw the Brewers are starting Jeffress tonight, who has appeared in 263 game over his 8 seasons in the majors and has never gotten a start. Do they really not have anyone good enough in the minors who is a better option than a bullpen day?
-
all Willy did was say something about next tuesday "i'm a big fan of your wife" The ump is married to Mia Khalifa?
-
They were 4 games back in the loss column entering the game tonight, that very likely isn't happening despite the LOLDodgers recent suckage. Plus, they've got HFA in the only series they're guaranteed to get and there's a decent chance that the Dodgers lose in the DS which would give the Nats HFA in the NLCS anyway.

This week is also easily the best time to pick the Raiders. Home game against one of the worst couple teams in the league. other non divisional home games are Dallas, the Giants and Baltimore plus they have New England in Mexico.
-
The fact that they actually played this game on Monday is insane. Could have done it either Tuesday or Wednesday. Both teams are off on Thursday but the Dodgers are going to Washington so they wouldn't want to play Thursday, but Wednesday is a night game so they could have done a DH then. Plus since rosters have expanded, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough players.

Big hit for KB!

I enjoyed Romo on the broadcast. You definitely couldn't tell it was the first time he'd done a game. I can see why people thought he'd be good at it.

With the Indians streak I was looking at the list of longest MLB winning streaks. The 1916 Giants hold the record of 26, though they did tie a game in there. That team also had a 17 game winning streak in May. Despite that, they finished 86-66 and 7 games back of the playoffs.

He's 5 years behind Sergio Romo. http://eltecolote.org/content/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Clarivel-Giants-Parade_61web.jpg

Ok so who bet on the Rams scoring the most points in Week 1?
-
And the Indians have caught the Astros for the best record in the AL. They were 13 games up on Cleveland and Boston in late July.

How long before Schwarber Fan pops in and complains about how we're going to get swept by the Brewers?

Monty stinks today.

This game is annoying.

Justin Wilson: Somehow Carnie Wilson
soccer10k replied to Ding Dong Johnson's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Duke should write an article about him because one of two things will happen: -Wilson will follow the "Duke wrote about a player" tradition and get significantly worse or injured, in which case the Cubs will get rid of him and we won't have to see him pith much longer -Duke's article works as a reverse jinx and Wilson becomes good. Seems like a win-win to me. -
I think you're alone on #2. horsefeathers them. Yes, I am bitter. But I am relishing every minute of this after all the stupid articles about them being the best team ever. I hope they win 102 games, have a lower RD than the 2016 Cubs and then lose in the NLDS. They'll still probably get to 104 but the run differential isn't going to happen. They were 67 behind the 2016 Cubs coming into tonight with 23 games left which would mean outscoring their opponents by almost 3 runs per game (after tonight, that will be over 3 runs per game). Even before this slump they weren't outscoring opponents by even two runs per game on the year. The Indians actually have a better chance of getting the RD right now. They're at +199, so 53 behind the Cubs with 22 games to go. They'll rest some players down the stretch but they're also only 2.5 games behind the Astros for HFA.

It's even more rare than that. First time since 1985.

Last couple rounds of South American qualifying will be interesting. Chile's trying to blow it by losing at home to Paraguay 3-0 and then losing at Bolivia (9th place) 1-0. Brazil is officially in and Uruguay is all but qualified (they're in second and they play the 9th and 10th place teams). After that: 3. Colombia 26 (+3 GD) vs Par at Per 4. Peru 24 (+1 GD) at Arg vs Col 5. Argentina 24 (+1 GD) vs Per at Ecu 6. Chile 23 (+1 GD) vs Ecu at Bra 7. Paraguay 21 (-6 GD) at Col vs Ven 8. Ecuador 20 (+0 GD) at Chi vs Arg Colombia is in if they win one of the two games and might get in with two draws. Ecuador needs to win twice to make it and Paraguay probably does also.

Blue Jays and Red Sox are tied 2-2 in the 16th inning. Toronto gave up 2 in the bottom of the ninth. When Bruce Bochy sees the box score he's going to wonder how Toronto only used 6 pitchers to get through 15 innings. Ariel Miranda has a no-hitter through 6 against Houston. Game is tied 1-1 because in the third inning he walked three batters (he's got six total) and gave up a sac fly.

Remember when you proclaimed the Pirates as division champions? He's claimed everyone but the Reds as division champions this year.

JD Martinez hit four dongs against the Dodgers tonight.
