Can't wait for the press conference 47th Machado at Yankee stadium, where he professes he's always been a Yankees fan and gets to live out a childhood dream. It's gonna be a Kodak moment

JAKE FUCKING ARRIETA!

Hey Droford, who'd he used to play for?

Fucking Joe Cool no selling the homer while the dugout goes nuts.

They wouldn't have been able to fit him into the rotation in BAL anyway. pffftt.

Even year magic running out. Still alot of time, but a 3 run blast to start off the scoring is no joke. Hoping for an Arrieta meltdown is a tough proposition.

He was a huge A Rod fan and I'm sure A Rod has told him not to think about playing for the Yankees.

But its moot because he will sign a long term contract with the Orioles.

Shit. Blue Jays/Cubbies book that.

Pitchers hitting in the NL 4 life

Can't wait to hear how vilified Manny becomes when he leaves because Baltimore is stuck paying the corpse of Chris Davis.

As much as I wish I was watching Thor pitching to the Cubs in Citi Field right now, I feel like the Mets would have only fared marginally better than the Giants have this series. Mets stood a better chance of blasting a few out of Wrigley but Colon was never going to put together the kind of start Cueto did in Game 1.

So he can keep playing for a team whose fans never show up to the stadium?

I already explained how Chris Davis' contract won't really be an issue with Mannys contract.

You've also explained to us about how Baltimore was going to go to the World Series this year. Your credibility has come into question.

No. You've come up with an ignorantly optimistic situation where Machado, for no logical reason, would take a discounted/deferred first 3 years of his deal to accommodate the albatross of Davis' deal before getting into big money after that deal is finally off the books.

Unfortunately for you, reality will hit and Machado will just walk over to Yankee stadium, where they'll pay him 25-30 a year with no deferrals and no being a nice guy for 3 years.

I have to say it'd be pretty lame to see Manny in Pinstripes. Hopefully he either just stays with Baltimore or goes to a big market outside of the East.

Christ. Can't believe Arietta hit .262 for the regular season. Dude has legit pop in his bat.

Want the Cubs to win but that was an absolutely dreadful call.

I predicted the explanation too. Couldn't depict if he caught it at the same time his foot came off the bag.

Maddon not fucking around. Going with Chapman now

Cubs' Almora just missed on making a really amazing catch

Well fuck me

Almora keeps running and he snags it. Falling down to try and catch it fucked it up.

I kinda wish the Blue Jays would be allowed to succeed in secrecy...looks like that's not permitted when it comes to the playoffs.

=(

Dear Cleveland Indians,

You're welcome.


Good luck,

The New York Yankees.

Can't stand him, but it'd be neat to see Machado in the lineup with Trout.

I know the Angels couldn't afford him though.

Kinda surprised the Giants are starting matt moore. Thought for sure they would start Cueto on 4 days rest then mad bum on 3 if they were down 2-1

Cueto is only on 3 days rest right now....but I think he should be pitching.

Feel like if you're an ace-level pitcher and you aren't demanding the ball on short rest in an elimination game, something is wrong with you. I think Kershaw should be pitching today for the same reason.

I was not shocked at all that the Giants pulled themselves off the mat and one.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Cubs are taking care of business tonight.

I hope for the Cubs' sake that they do win tonight. If they don't I feel like a good majority of their fans won't sleep until Thursday.

I sure as fuck wont

Cubs got even yeared right in the butthole. They're going to destroy Matt Moore tonight though.

No one knows Matt Moore better that Joe Maddon. I'm not worried at all. Also, Rizzo destroys Lefties and is destined to break out tonight in a big way.

Playoff Kershaw fucking up. God dammit.

Have him in my DFS team tonight but so does everyone else so all good.

I love Tim Tebow so much.

Maddon says Lackey was "Unapproachable " on the team bus today.

Lackey probably going ham tonight.

Oh god if Murph is the hero here I might be done with playoff baseball for the year.

Aaaaand that's it. Fuck this shit
