Too bad deGrom can't stay healthy. Would be nice to see what he can do with a full season, sigh.

Rangers

Just like the rest of the world, I'm very interested to see what the Angels do with Ohtani. They could rebuild their whole roster by trading him, or they could keep him and continue to lose but roll in the money he brings in.

Was watching something last night (I think is was the SNY pre game) and it pointed out that Steve Cohen is an investor.
when you are part of a bad investment you get out quick and take your loss

Verlander back to the Astros. We'll see if that leads to some better scores. We've had some double digit games on both sides.

Aside from the lose, the Yankees did nothing at the deadline.

Oh wait, the rented a bullpen arm for the rest of the season, because that will clearly be useful.

Cubs quite disappointing after teasing with a crazy run and performances which seemed like they were jumping into being contenders..... only to fall apart bigly in the final stretch..... Sad!

So... Where's Ohtani going next year?
My prediction is either Mariners or Dodgers

Chicago sports, man. We can't have nice things.

Bears, ChiSox, Cubs...and Bulls will be mediocre and Hawks continue their rebuild (though, at least they have Bedard)...

LeLakers.

I would've said the Sucs but now they no longer have She-Ra, maybe LeRams?

So, all the top teams were ousted?


And let's agree that the Astrorisks cheated their way past the Twips.

Rangers played well last night, their starting pitcher was on a heater & they definitely got the better of JV.

I'm thrilled to see Jordan Montgomery pitching at that level. I was pissed when the Yankees traded him for fucking Bader.

Gotta say, good sports weekend for me: Bears win, Fackers lost, Astrorisks lost. 3 for 3.

And the streak continues. Whoever knocks out the Brewers, goes on to the World Series! We must be some good luck charm.

^ - Congrats. I didn't have a preference for either team this year but was really happy when the Rangers beat the Astros. Sucks that Scherzer gets a ring (fuck that guy) but otherwise happy for Texas.
