Definitely a memorable game.
Not going to lie, I certainly shed a few tears watching that!

Hope the Mets kick their ass tonight though

My mom was texting me all day sending me pics from TV of the funeral. It was down the street from my house but I just didn't feel well yesterday and slept after work.

Bonds out as Marlins' hitting coach. Apparently some players didn't like him. Stanton finished with career low. Yelich's stats vastly improved and Ozuna started great but for the most part the bats were down and we finished 3rd last in runs.

Neither the Giants or Mets are easy match-ups for the Cubs. Then again, you never know in the playoffs. And oh, it's the Cubs.

What bullshit management we have. Pulling noah after 7th was ridiculous to say the least. He was in the zone. You can't treat that kind of game like the regular season FFS. Im so pissed off. Also Jeurys is absolute ASS! Dude had 3 blown saves in the world series last year and now this bullshit! He's not capable of post season play, he's a god in the regular season though but folds under pressure. Fucking garbage

Bumgarner could have went forever though without giving anything though. He had all of our hitters solved

We'll see if Cubbies can win another tonight. Hendricks goes tonight...we'll see if his sparkling ERA all season was an illusion or he actually has the goods to take out SF tonight.

I dunno if Toronnah has the pitching to get far.

I'm guessing it will be the Jays versus the Cleveland Aboriginals...so, if that's the case, Cleveland probably has the pitching to get past the HR-happy Birds.

Cleveland vs Toronto has led to quite a few epic series so far this year, should be a really great ALCS. I'm so happy that the Indians knocked off the Red Sox, I might have vomited if I had to listen to TBS talk about Ortiz any more. Anyway, hoping the ALCS gives us more highlights like this one:

How can you NOT root for the most cursed sports team in the universe?

But, man...that Baez...if he can be a regular in the line-up, that's Gold Glove stuff right there. What a series he had against the Giants.

Because it is fun to revel in the continued misery of others?

I am hoping to see the Cubs break their fans' hearts in a new, groundbreakingly legendary way. That way I will know that the world isn't ending.
