Cincy pisses away 2 wins over the weekend.  I really thought they would be in the middle of the wildcard race.  I was wrong.

Hopefully next year McClain, CES and Freidl can stay healthy all year. Also hopefully Marte gets back to how he finishes last year as well. I still think they need a LF and RF starters with some pop in their bat.

Also I would love to see a change in leadership both on field and the front office. Actually the best thing would be for the Castallinis to sell the ball club.

Soto and Hernandez are FAs after this season.  

Quit whining about Bell and the Castellinis.

The Yankees would be well advised to do what they have to to keep Soto. Steinbrenner and Cashman probably wouldn't be able to show their faces in NY ever again if they let him walk.

Why, they suck and are the reason the Reds suck

Completely agree.

How about them Cubbies?

You guys with your first world problems. My White Sox continue their march to the worst record in the modern era.

How bad are they? They have 14 and 21 game losing streaks. It gets worse. If you throw out those 35 loses, they STILL have the worst winning % in the league this year. Oy vey

It's gotten so bad that @johnsoniu has resorted to kvetching in Yiddish in his posts.

I mean....at least the catcher threw a dot. That may the lone silver lining on the south side of Chicago this year.

That's cup half full for sure. Like hitting a ball 115 mph...into a triple play.

Go Cubs Go!  3 GB in the WC race.

I don't follow baseball very closely but this is pretty impressive.  As of tonight he's hit 51 homers and stolen 51 bases.

 

[Stuhoo]

Ohhhhhhhtani.

He is it.

[Hovadipo]

That slash line on the night that he hit that milestone is just unbelievable. What an athlete.
