I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Here’s a very brief initial post after that exhausting extra inning affair last night. I know some people are going to criticize every move each manager made, and highlight where the Jays went wrong. There was so much inherent drama that it seems criticism would diminish all that everyone enjoyed. For so many people to…

I’m not sure which I dread the most, the end of the baseball season, setting the clock back an hour or the start of holiday music 24/7 on a Chicago radio station. All of which happen today/tonight.

Save for those wacky Canadians, baseball got what we wanted a Game 7. How we got here is pure theater. I’m glad that my FOX is now set on permanent mute and I won’t listen to any more nonsense from three egomaniacs that seem to have forgotten they aren’t suiting up. At this point in…

Four summers ago, I attended a minor league game in Beloit and thought I was seeing a former first round pitcher with a bright future. They guy never made it beyond AA despite a great 4 innings of 9-strikeout ball. During the season I had a couple occasions to speak with him about his future…

After a grueling 2.5 year I finally got the MUTE button to work in time for Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. I didn’t stay up for the 18-inning marathon game last night, but what I did catch was blissful silence. Somehow, in the past fifteen innings spread out over two days, I…

Heading into the national anthems, FOX ran a FanDuel ad for in-game betting. I don’t believe a word coming from either of the Weasel commissioners (Manfred and Silver) about gambling and their sports. Does anyone believe that Cleveland’s chances weren’t damaged by the absence of their closer Emmanuel Clase? Next thing they’ll be telling us…

At long last the 2025 World Series is here and there are several narratives that FOX and company will be pursuing over the next couple of weeks. Some have been percolating over the past month or so. Some people have been suggesting it’s a battle between Goliath’s with not a David in sight. I think…

I have no idea what the preseason odds were for the Dodgers-Jays WS battle, but I’m ready to sit back and enjoy. A few different friends have asked me if Toronto has a chance at slowing down the Dodger locomotive. I think what they really wondered was if there is a solution for Shohei Ohtani.…

Since he came to the Angels and MLB, Shohei Ohtani has continued to amaze us all. He’s not a unicorn no matter what people think. Rather he’s an extraordinary ballplayer that continues to do amazing things. What he did in Game 4 of the NLCS appears to be the most amazing feat in postseason history.…

I’m not going to lie, I’m really disappointed by the Brewers showing thus far in the NLCS. I thought they’d give the Dodgers better competition considering how well they played them (7-0) in the regular season. The only chance they had of winning was when Captain Hook pulled Blake Snell after 8 innings of shutout…
