Tis the season. Just watched the Rays and the Blue Jays now out early today, swept by their opponents Rangers and Twins. I love it when young talent gets drafted and crafted within their organization from the bottom up, for which these small markets need to do in order to compete.
Orioles are favored over the Rangers, but if you’re the Astro’s do you really want to be playing ball in Minneapolis in October where the shadows grow long and a strong likelihood of cold wind and rain?I think the Twins carry the division series if they can steal one in Houston. Dbacks looking to close out Brewers, too!

Still glad the Rays were beaten--they are a dirty club.
yankees and toronto are teams with huge payrolls who just plain flat out suck. boston is slowly rebuilding. baltimore is treading towards the right direction finally. gunnar henderson is a real good player.
overall it should be a real good and entertaining post season. maybe some team this year upsets atlanta that's not the dodgers or the astros.
Tampa is a nasty club. They flagrantly violate the three batters rule by faking injuries, but they do cause actual repeated elbow injuries due to forced pitch selection that causes their careers to end just before arbitration (i.e. big payday).
Anyway, back on topic as the Orioles will become the 3rd AL East team to get swept in one more game. Love it when the smaller organizations develop young talent through the draft!

Apparently the WNBA failed to get that memo. This has to be the dumbest move ever. A league struggling to gain traction with the fans scheduled their finals to begin on an NFL Sunday (along with the MLB playoffs). Brilliant!!
There are multiple ways to win. Yankees have money and build through the draft. They have not had a losing season in more than 30 years. They have 5 championships in that time, more than any other team. Is that not enough to prove there is more than one way to do it?
And the team with four pitchers to win 20 games. That will never, ever happen again. McNally, Palmer, Cuellar and Pat Dobson - the one people forget.
Even the 90’s Braves with Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine couldn’t accomplish that.
The O’s have been terrible for years. Not a fan, but would be nice to see them in a WS again.
All the major football leagues are on an international break at the moment. The premier league is only 8 games in. It baseball playoff time, and the NHL starts soon.
Gooooo D-backs!
