    If Tom C. were awake he'd be touting the Mets' rotation in a short series as well. Unfortunately Tom is totally immersed in the Cowboys and the salary cap corner the Eagles boxed them into.

    You got that right, partially. All my contract related hand-wringing of the past few years seems to be coming to fruition. ☹️

    Actually, I was thinking that one advantage the nights would have if they could reach the post season is that starters tend to go deeper into the game. That typically mitigates the soft underbelly that is middle relief. However, the Mets 8/9 inning guys still give me major gas when they come in.

    Another worry (because that's what Mets fans are best at) is that I don't think their defense is very good. Deficiencies in that area always seem to bite you in the butt come postseason.

    Good pitching beats good hitting and vise versa! :)

    Yeah, but it always seems that the offensive juggernauts go cold when the weather cools in the fall, rotations shorten, and there are a limited number of soft middle relievers and mop-up guys to feast on...T

    J.L. has not ruled out calling up Whitley. This option is a long shot. However, with J.L. anything is possible.

    What's with the silly uniforms the teams are wearing tonight? Home team in pure white from head to toe, visiting team in pure black. But in both cases the letters and numbers are all in white, so on the home uniforms, you can't see the players' (nick)names or numbers! Who's daft idea was this?

    The Yanks look great especially when you consider Stanton, Voit and Severino are out of the lineup with injuries. They should be healthy for the post season.

    Every game is important for home field advantage....Astros...Dodgers.

    So I have to give the Dodger organization some credit here.

    I was invited by a friend of mine to go to the game. Unfortunately, just 2 days before he actually broke his foot so he's walking on crutches. His doctor gave him a form to get a Temporary Disabled Parking plaque for the car. He called up the Dodgers and asked how he could still go to the game. This is how it played out.

    We went to AAA and got the Disabled plaque in a matter of minutes the day of the game. Then we drove early to the game and showed the card to the person taking the money for parking. We were allowed to park in the "preferred parking lot" which is literally right next to the field.

    Then the Dodgers gave him a number to call for a pick up. The little electric vehicle came by in a few minutes, picked us up, and drove us past all the crowds to the top of the stadium where our entrance was.

    They did the same at the end of the game but we managed to walk down the hill faster so we did that.

    Honestly, I was impressed.

    Hard to believe that's now the oldest stadium in MLB after Fenway and Wrigley. I went to a game there in 1987 and was suitably impressed.

    Next year they are spending $100M on a renovation.

    why baseball is losing fans: Last night, Phils Marlins. In one half inning, Marlins pitchers threw 62 pitches and inning lasted 39 minutes.

    Don't think I have seen HS teams with uniforms that crappy. Not sure who came up with this idea, but major fail on their part...T

    The Bronx Bombers are living up to their nickname: 61 homers in August, and the month isn't over yet! (And that's without Encarnacion, Stanton and Voit!)
