World Series: Cleveland over Washington. Best pitching staff in each league. That’s my objective prediction. My heart, of course, goes with my Cubbies for a repeat.
Yes! Meant to tell you that 'zelig' had a brief conversation with him at Hammond Stadium in Ft. Myers during BP at a Twins game we attended in March.
Many of the Twins on tonight's roster were former New Britain Rock Cats, which used to be the local AA (Twins) team here in central CT.
The former Rock Cats have now morphed into the Hartford Yard Goats (barf!), AA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
We liked the Twins affiliation better. AND the Rock Cats name. Who wants to root for a stupid goat??
Damn Yankees take the AL Wild Card game. Hope the Cleveland Indians take care of ‘em!
I’ll check it out. Thx ...
We always exchange greetings with him during Spring Training since he joined the Twins. Great fun watching him mature following his two seasons as a Marauder—stayed at high A an extra year due to his age. He is a bright young man.
How are you determining ‘best pitching’? Dodgers and D’Backs have better team ERAs than Nats. Same with team Runs Allowed.
We miss being able to follow our Red Sox and New Britain Rock Cats (our former local AA farm team of the Twins) in one place - Fort Myers - every spring training.
The Minnesota Twins AA affiliate moved to Chattanooga, TN. Our local AA team (Hartford Yard Goats) is an affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. We have no plans to attend spring training in Arizona...
Ditto. Can’t stand Boston.
Girardi is schmartz
I root for
Col.
Bos.
Cleve
Nats
WildcRd over L.A
D Backs pitcher just hit a 2 run triple! Poor Rockies.
It’s a good old classic offensive slugfest.
D’backs will win though.
Holy crap, dude who hit the triple just gave up back to back jacks! One run game again.
Trevor Story. He’s a good dude.
Won’t be surprising if Rockies go all the way.
Anything can happen in baseball—it’s unpredictable.
Who thought that the Cubs would break their 108-year drought?
When Chi lost out on the ‘16 Olympics I thought “Good, the Cubs will good by then, don’t want a long road trip in the middle of the season”. ;D
Pretty much the whole city was feeling it last year. Of course I was also feeling it in 2008 and it turned out just to be gas.
Would be music to my ears.
I cannot get a good link for the NYY vs CLE
any one get it?
If you’re right, it’s shades of my youth when almost every year it was (Brooklyn) Dodgers vs NY Yankees.

Middle America is 2-0
We’re singing Go Cubs Go, Go Cubs Go.
Lots of butt hurt over that call in the 9th.
