Cubs back in the dance. Let's see if they can make some noise...the pitching is suspect as is the bullpen now that their closer is done.

Did the Marlins get much for Yelich? I don't remember...I don't recall him being THAT good...or was he just buried in a quiet market in Miami so no one knew?

I think you had mentioned about what the precedence was? I think we can look at the suspensions doled out to Chapman and Osuna as indicators.
But, Russell is finished as a Cub, I don't see how they'll bring him back. He's still a good SS/2B so, we'll see if a team will take a flyer on him sometime later if he's reinstated? Dunno. Given the #metoo movement, having this sort of player on a team could be toxic.

Yeah Brinson is supposed to be the 5 tool stud. So far not showing much but Marlins can't possibly do a worse trade than the Miguel Cabrera trade for nothing that performed here.

I was rooting for the Yankees since NY has become my 2nd home. This was my first baseball that I watched this year but only like 3 innings. Mind you I was at a Marlins game this year but in the bar/club. But Jesus baseball. I turn on the game at 9 it's in the 3rd inning. I watch a few 1-2-3 innings and then fall asleep for like 30 mins. I turn off the TV at 10 and it's the bottom of the fifth. 3 innings an hour?

Brewers winning it all... To go from a team that looked like it had zero chance to start to a team that is firing on all cylinders has been a fun season. Hate for it to end short of a Championship. Either Hou/Bos will be a tough series but lets get thru LA first.

Yankees think HRs win in the playoffs, huh? Keep swinging for those fences, NYY. 
Cubs, they could not hit a beach ball if tossed at them at 5mph.
That's why they out.
