He worked for the A's until his cancer diagnosis and subsequent death a couple of years ago. He is beloved here. I don't know how Rose for women to sleep with him. He was not attractive and I am sure he had no game. Ray Fosse is much loved in Cleveland, too. One of the few bright lights in some very dismal years. 2 Link to comment
mojoween October 1 Share October 1 (edited) Michael Kay and Tim Kurkjian calling baseball, even if it’s the dastardly Astros? Yes please. I knew it was coming, but the advertising on the batting helmets is making me irrationally angry. Edited October 1 by mojoween 2 2 Link to comment
DoctorAtomic October 1 Share October 1 There's a 4 part documentary on Rose on HBO that was quite good however you think of him. I have opinions, but this is an old argument. Link to comment

I have no issues with Todd Frazier, either. I wish we could have more of this team moving forward, but the Disney networks are only covering the Wild Card Series. 😕 2 1 Link to comment
mojoween October 1 Share October 1 Every time an announcer does a live advertising read for one of the betting sites, they should follow it with a Pete Rose story. 5 Link to comment

DXD526 October 1 Share October 1 I remember many years ago, on The Tomorrow Show, Tom Snyder had on a bunch of baseball ex-wives, basically talking about what cheating bastards their husbands were. Pete Rose's ex told of a time when she went on a road trip with him. She almost never went with him when he went on the road, but this time she did. She said she was awakened in the wee hours, to see Pete next to the bed, getting dressed. She asked what he was doing, and half-asleep he said, "I'm going back to my room." He apparently did this out of habit! In his groggy state, he forgot he was with his wife. She said she knew he probably slept around when he was away from home, but to have it so brutally shoved in her face wasn't fun. 2 2 Link to comment
ProudMary October 1 Share October 1 I'm in a Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi and television outage and for some reason the 5G on my phone (T-Mobile) is acting weird, too. Could someone here please update me on the scores for all the games? Outage started while the Tigers/Astros game was in the 9th. I really want to know if the Tigers held on for the win.

Salacious Kitty October 1 Share October 1 Tigers won. As did KC. Mets lead 8-4 in the 7th. It's a day for the road teams! 2 Link to comment
mojoween October 1 Share October 1 Tigers decided to make it interesting, Houston had the bases loaded down two in the bottom of the ninth. Jason Hayward hit a smoke shot that would have won the game, but the first baseman’s lightning fast reflexes saved the day for Detroit. 2 Link to comment
ProudMary October 2 Share October 2 Thank you, thank you! Wow, wild ending in Houston. I'm very glad the Tigers held on. Let's Go Mets! 1 Link to comment
mojoween October 2 Share October 2 (edited) Mets retired 17 Brewers in a row to take game one 8-4. Next up, Braves vs. Padres, where hopefully the road team prowess turns ice-cold. Edited October 2 by mojoween 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 October 2 Share October 2 Just checking . . . if the Mets advance to the NLDS ( 🤞), would they have to face the Dodgers? I’m seeing indications that they’d go to Philadelphia, and that doesn’t make sense to me because the Dodgers are the higher seed. Link to comment
Carey October 2 Share October 2 It shouldn't make sense, but MLB is re-seeding-free. So a six seed avoids the top team all the time Link to comment

ebk57 October 2 Share October 2 I'm all in for 3 games today! So... it didn't rain. The temp was quite comfy. And dinner was spectacular. Really, I love a good pitcher's duel. I just prefer it when my team scores the run. 1 1 Link to comment

ProudMary October 2 Share October 2 Final 2024 stats of Aaron Judge's historic season. Keep in mind, he had mediocre numbers in April because that was his Spring Training; he was injured for the bulk of February and March. It was a privilege to watch Judge's season on a daily basis. Also, he's a great center fielder. 1 2 Link to comment

Carey October 2 Share October 2 (edited) While it's okay to see KC advance (and possibly crumble in the ALDS in a huge way), that sucks for Baltimore. At least they've won a WS not too long ago, but it's about present time. Edited October 2 by Carey There's a difference between the American and the National 1 Link to comment

ebk57 October 3 Share October 3 (edited) Especially @Carey after you were bemoaning the fact that the Yankees are "due" because they haven't won since - checks thread - 2009. Don't mean to be mean, but I'm a little salty right now. Edited October 3 by ebk57 2 1 Link to comment
Carey October 3 Share October 3 41 years isn't that recent I'll admit. Fortunately you're not a big fan of Cleveland, Tampa, and Seattle. HM to Pittsburgh and the Cubs (until 2016), but that means less stress. At least Baltimore hoisted something within the past half century. I don't mean to be mean either, but what's different between the Orioles and the Yankees are the standards. Especially if you ask the sports media. Not even factoring in New York's accomplishments, the expectation is for them to win more often than they have. That's why I said what I said. Then there's Los Angeles. Probably not as epic in the sport, but when you have one player who, if you cut his worth in half, still tops an entire franchise, people expect more. I feel bad for your team ebk57 (while happy for KC). I really do. However, when it's not even 2025 and you're ready for what's next, that's not a good thing. The team near me opted to choose failure as the face of the organization over winning with Livvy's not better half in his prime, along with the best ballpark IMO, that's not cool. And they know it, period. Otherwise, they wouldn't scapegoat. All the best for your team & Johannah team. Tough break on Tuesday for Corbin Burnes for what would've been his first complete game (though not sure if that's a good thing within a loss). Although one is supposed to feel horrible following the end (as it shows that you care), it's not easy for me to feel super sympathetic. That's coming from living to see the team near me win fewer games than the opposite 20 years in a row. Nearly 2 dozen consecutive seasons! Pretty much 28 out of the past 32 seasons, and just 3 playoff games won since a botched ninth inning that preceded total failure. Nevertheless, it should be a very good MLB postseason, even if San Diego doesn't close. Good thing it's a comfortable lead, with a game to spare, and everything at home Link to comment
Lantern7 October 3 Share October 3 *sigh* Tigers: Sweep series. Royals: Sweep series. Padres: Sweep series. Mets: “We can sweep . . . but what would ESPN air tomorrow night?” 4 Link to comment

Jane Tuesday October 3 Share October 3 Wanted to wish @Calvada and the Brewers good luck tonight! I'm probably a weirdo because I always cheer for whoever makes it out of our division (unless it's the Cubs). And I have family in Milwaukee who are fans of the Brew Crew and super excited. They've been a good team all year and deserve to make it past the stupid wild card round. 3 Link to comment

mojoween October 4 Share October 4 Ugh. Since it was in Milwaukee, I was rooting for the Brew Crew. Sorry Lantern no offense. Also I am very much not a Polar Bear fan. Although I will give it to the Met who wears #3 - that is one fine head of hair. 1 Link to comment
