This would mean the Cubs losing in the LDS to the Giants which I am 100% down for.

Byron Buxton went from home to home in 14.05 seconds on an inside the park homerun as a right handed batter.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
The story of Verlander's entire season: Goes out there and pitches an absolute gem, and his expensive teammates get shut right the gently caress out by inferior competition.

At least Ausmus is probably gone next week.

Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

And after all of those glorious tiebreaking scenarios, none of them will happen and the Giants will end up winning their 4th title in 7 seasons

Detroit-Cleveland is unnecessary, so Michael Fulmer finishes short of the innings threshhold, which means that Aaron Sanchez is your 2016 AL ERA champion.

They should fire Ausmus, but they should also fire anyone responsible for the bullpen, rotation, and Jeff Jones.

The kid is probably not going to give a poo poo about baseball, but he might if you don't force it on him. Just don't be Baseball Dad. Please.

My baseball gateway was a friend who was grinding himself to dust playing baseball for his dad, basically. You could hear Dad blasting every Giants game from their living room in the 90s. A shoulder surgery about the time he finished high school ended his baseball career and he could finally go live his own dream instead of his dad's.

Nowadays he goes to exactly one baseball game a year. And it's always the A's.
