Well deserved for wearing for those garbage jerseys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 when I am commissioner all these cash grab alternate jerseys will be banned. I will deputize Chris Sale with a ceremonial pair of scissors to cut up and/or cough on them all 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I get that the Red Sox alternate is some sort of Boston Marathon rescue workers tribute thing, but even that doesn't help really. I generally enjoy watching Boston fuck up (and let's face it I usually don't have to wait very long) but those are too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) https://cultmtl.com/2021/09/announcement-about-the-return-of-the-montreal-expos-to-be-made-this-fall-october-november-tampa-bay-rays/ Quote Sources close to Cult MTL confirmed today that an announcement about the return of the Montreal Expos will be made in October or November. The announcement could be coming during or closely following the municipal election in Montreal. This morning, the Journal de Montréal reported that an announcement about a shared baseball team between Montreal and Tampa Bay — “the marriage of the Expos and the Rays, who would sometimes play in Tampa, sometimes in Montreal” — is expected to follow an upcoming meeting in Florida.

Infinit Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Marcus Semien is tied for most home runs by a second baseman, ever. He must be up there for one of the best free agent signings, ever. And probably the best ever to perform on a one year contract....well actually second to Robbie Ray lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 The Phillies have won 5 straight and are still 5 games back from the 2nd NL wild card because St Louis went nuclear and is currently on a 15 game win streak Meanwhile - the Padres have free-falled so much that they are only 1 game over .500 And the Mets are 3-12 in their last 15 and now sit 8 games under .500 So many front offices about to be blown out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Okay - here is basically what we are looking at the last week of the season AL WILD CARD #1 NYY (@Toronto, Tampa) #2 Boston (@Baltimore, @Washington) #3 Toronto (-1) (NYY, Baltimore) #4 Seattle (-2) (Oakland, LAA) #5 Oakland (-3) (@Seattle, @Houston) Oakland/Seattle starts today, the rest start tomorrow. To hang with the AL East teams, one of the AL West teams needs to sweep the other If there is a Game 163 needed - at least for the AL East teams, Boston would have home-field advantage for any one-game playoff for the No. 2 wild card or the AL wild card game against Toronto or New York; the Blue Jays would host the Yankees. NL EAST Atlanta with a 2.5 game lead over Philadelphia Those two teams play each other in Atlanta starting Tuesday. Then Atlanta finishes with the Mets while the Phillies finish at Miami.. NL WEST San Fran with a 2 game lead over LAD (note both have clinched a WC berth) Both teams play San Diego this week. So the real difference might be this: San Fran plays Arizona. LAD plays Milwaukee IF they need to play a tie breaker for the division, the Giants would host THINGS THAT ARE TECHNICALLY STILL IN PLAY The Cards' magic number for the 2nd NL WC is 1 The Astros magic number for the AL West is 2 The Rays clinch home field in the AL with either a win or an Astros loss. Oh and those teams play each other this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Noah Syndegaard made his first start of the year. It was basically just a courtesy inning and he looked as good as ever. Now the question is, will that be his final start for the Mets. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 All the Dodgers have to do is beat Adam Wainwright. I mean he’s like 50 and It’s not like he’s a difficult guy to face in the post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
