There will be four games today. The Padres extended their season by beating the Brewers in Game 3. Milwaukee leads the series two games to one, with a chance to clinch tonight. But last night’s game was another taut, pitch-by-pitch nail biter. The Padres went ahead by two, the Brewers […]
Is there anything better than watching the New York Yankees self-implode? You thought Game 5 of the 2024 World Series was the best, when the Yankees led 5-0 in the fifth inning then self-destructed by allowing five runs to score on a number of errors and just stupid plays. It […]
Nothing is better than playoff baseball. Sunday proved it. The National League staged two dramatic Division Series, nothing more so than San Diego at Milwaukee. After losing Game 1 to the Brewers on a sky-high fly ball that hit the roof structure and came down in the Brewers’ left fielder’s […]
Well, just when you think maybe the Dodgers are beatable, you realize, they aren’t. If guys who had miserable seasons like Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernandez suddenly figure it out at the plate, like they did in Game 1 on Saturday, it’s going to be hard to beat Los Angeles. […]

Ahhh, the sweet sound of 40,000 Houston Astros fans’ hearts breaking. After winning Game 1 of their Wildcard Series, the White Sox jumped on the Astros in the first inning with four runs and hung on for a 7-3 win and a two-game sweep of their best of three series. […]
Watching the Chicago White Sox beat the Houston Astros in Game 1 of their Wild Card Series inspired two thoughts. One, it’s always good to see the Astros lose. Two, Texas would have had no business being in this game. Watching the White Sox pile on hit after hit, going […]
The playoffs start today. For Rangers fans, the “playoffs” are bonus games at the end of the season that good teams earn for being good. The Los Angeles Dodgers go for their third consecutive World Series championship. National League fans in Milwaukee, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and San Diego are hoping […]
The truth is, this team didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs, let along the playoff hunt. At no point in the season did any sane, rational person look at the Rangers and say, “You know, that’s a playoff-caliber team.” The fact that they played a meaningful Game 162 was […]
