Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Today's Games

Today in Baseball History

1911 - Cy Young's farewell appearance in a major league game is a letdown, as he loses to Brooklyn 13-3 wearing a Braves uniform in his 906th game.
1936 - The Yankees roll to a 13-5 World Series-ending victory. Lefty Gomez is the winning pitcher, his second of the Series despite a team-worst 4.70 ERA. In the six games the Yankees score 43 runs to 23 by the Giants.
1945 - Tavern owner "Billy Goat" Sianis buys a box seat for his goat for Game Four of the World Series and is escorted out of Wrigley Field. In retaliation Sianis casts a "goat curse" over the Cubs. The Tigers tie the series on Dizzy Trout's 4-1 win.
1947 - The Yankees beat the Dodgers 5-2 to win the World Series in seven games. Relief pitcher Hugh Casey of the Dodgers appears in six games, winning two while notching an 0.87 ERA. Series heroes Bill Bevens, Al Gionfriddo, and Cookie Lavagetto will not play another major-league game.
1966 - Jim Palmer, 20, became the youngest player to pitch a World Series shutout as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0. Sandy Koufax was the loser, his last appearance in the major leagues.
1969 - The Mets rally twice and win the first NL Championship Series. Tommie Agee, Ken Boswell, and Wayne Garrett hit home runs and fans swarm the Shea Stadium field after a 7-4 win.
1985 - Phil Niekro of the New York Yankees became the 18th 300-game winner as he blanked the Toronto Blue Jays 8-0 on the final day of the season. At 46, he also became the oldest pitcher to throw a shutout.

Good job, MLB scheduling. Way to put the game on the West Coast at a 5pm start time and the game in the Midwest at 9. That's not backwards at all.

Even better: Put a game three of a best of five on a network that most people don't get, what could possibly go wrong?

I for one think the division series should feature three sweeps on this, our even year of bullshit.

This makes no goddamn sense. The majority of Giants fans are unable to watch the game, and it's going to be tough for lots of Nats fans to catch the beginning of the game as well with a 5pm est start time. And then Cards fans will have to stay up until midnight-ish to catch the whole game. Only the Dodgers fans really get a good start time.

I don't get why Nats/Giants has to be on MLB Network. Fox Sports 1 is showing, in order:

NASCAR Race Hub
America's Pregame
Three episodes of UFC Ultimate Knockouts

And then the Dodgers/Cardinals pregame. If the first game runs long, just start LA/St. Louis on Fox Sports 2.

If you don't have MLB Network then it's getting around the blackout on MLB.tv or the illegal streams.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

They and TBS have this push to keep giving us graphics of where people are in the field. At least they aren't giving us top deck views with 1B and SS etc in huge emblems.
