One week until the play offs ...
8 NL teams are eliminated. Four teams are fighting for the 3 wild card slots. The Cubs and Padres are tied for first, the Phillies are third, and the Diamondbacks are in fourth place, 4 games behind the Phillies. (They play their next 3 games against the last-place Rockies, then their final 3 games against the Padres--they pretty much need to win all 6 games and have the Padres swept by the Dodgers to get to the playoffs. The Padres have won 13 of their last 14 games. That could be their best record in any 14-game stretch in their history.)

It will all be fun to watch.

I pity that you can not simply enjoy your life, and
your desire to keep other people from enjoying theirs.
I do not like beets, and
you should not like them either.
I do not like carrots, and
you should not like them either.
I do not like soccer, and
you should not like it either.
I do not like golf, and
you should not like it either.
The irony is that the owners and players of Major League Baseball and their globalist cohorts in Black Lives MatterTM have taken overt actions to keep other people from enjoying their lives.
Burning cities and overturning elections...
Those suffering from Stockholm Syndrome don't want to hear the truth.
“Nattering nabob of negativism”
And tell me if how you were victimized is in the room with us now?
Point out on this doll where they touched you.
