And here we go. Cue the sun.

  1. I need to say one thing before the first pitch:

    TITANIUM SCROTUM

  2. "The fans love the Wild Card game," Eckersly gushes.

    No. No we don't. It's a f#%@ing abomination. I don't know anyone who likes the idea of the results of a 162-game season being tossed out by one damn game. It's like running a marathon, waiting 10 seconds for the next finisher to cross, then doing rock-paper-scissors for the trophy.

  3. 3 good articles in the sept. 24 - oct 1 issue of sports illustrated

    short article " the long game" about a former MLB player who has started a company
    that pays promising minor league players hundreds of thousands $$ and in return they get 10% of their MLB earnings.

    They also have apparently devised a method to predict pitchers who are most likely to suffer severe injuries, and those aren't.(they expect to make millions from this. some teams are already using it.)

    short article "winter is coming" explains why teams are now using analytics to not
    sign older (30-32) to large contracts.

    long article "freedom of the press'.this is an article about the 1978 season. This is a behind the scenes article of all the shit that took place with the yankees players(amongst themselves and with management) and the relationships with the reporters during that season.
    I was very surprised to learn what a dick Thurman Munson was.

  6. So, they said they'd know if Severino eas "on" tonight within 10 pitches.

    1-2-3 inning. Exactly 10 pitches.

    Seeing as how often these dolts are wrong I'm officially scared now.

  14. Going into full pessimist mode ... Severino's pitch count is getting a little high here.
