I agree completely with the rule but what applies to one should apply to all. More evidence, m’lord.

It’s revealing what a good QB can do and the enthusiasm he can inject into a team, and a city.

Yes, I meant against LA (or even the Braves, should they come back). Looks like the Rockies are playing themselves out of this series. They balked in a run and then the runner who moved to third on the ball scored on a wild pitch a few pitches later.

I don’t know those teams well enough to say but I’d give the Brewers a slight edge because they’d have home field advantage.

I'm afraid that series is over. I also think the Dodgers Braves series will soon be over, and the same with the Brewers series.

One of my favorites. Everybody is terrific.

We saw Venom last night. Despite the critics’ reviews, I thought it was entertaining.

That HR by Judge was one of the best I’ve ever seen. As soon as he swung the bat I knew it was going for a ride. The one other person who used to hit some shots was Strawberry; his had some incredible arc to it.

Terrific.

The Red Sox bullpen almost makes the Mets bullpen looks decent.

Spahn and Sain and pray for rain. Here’s the background: Gerald V. Hern was an editor of the Boston Post. In September 1948 he penned the following: First we’ll use Spahn, then we’ll use Sain Then an off day, followed by rain. Back will come Spahn, followed by Sain, And followed, we hope, by two days of rain. The poem was quickly shortened to “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain,” which became a rallying cry for the 1948 Boston Braves.

Watching this game is like seeing two different games. I’m glad I’m not a fan of either team; must be tough to watch.

I guess you and I are the alta cockers here

Inasmuch as the Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953 (I'll bet I was the only person alive at that time who is participating in this thread), the possibility of that NLDS seems remote.

Thank you both. I'm starting a new book today so I'm looking forward to that.

I will disagree. If I had to rate my interest in the various series, its NY Boston, LA Braves, Brewers and Rockies and then the Cleveland Houston series. I'm sure if you live in the Midwest, that order would be reversed. Cleveland Houston are teams that don't interest me. Obviously, I will watch the LCS and if one of those teams is in the WS, I will watch that too.

The New York Times ran their annual Fall Voyages issue, except this time the great photography came with a soundtrack. As the Times calls it, these are sonic voyages, with very little text. Even if you don't have the actual magazine, you can still get it all online. Well worth the time, in my opinion See Voyages

Now, that is cool, thanks. I used to hear that song all the time, as a kid

La Liga: boring, uncompetitive and all that. Hang on.... La Liga report by Sid Lowe.

Thanks guys, getting on, if you know what I mean

They almost blew it tonight! They are a team made up in part of stars from different teams. Best of luck.

This game has a similar feel to last night’s game.
