Midwest america world series one way or another.
Might not be good for the ratings. |

Would have been better if the ball found a hole and Berkman threw out Ryan Howard at first base to end the series.

Alright, I know it's never funny when somebody gets hurt but come on. Ryan Howard pulling a Kevin Nash just about on the last play of the the last game of a playoff series.

I love when the World Series (and even the Championship Series in this case) doesn't involve a HUGE market...people imply that MLB must be disappointed. I'm sure they really care that ratings might be slightly lower. It's still the World Series. Besides...what do you want them to do? Rig the playoffs?
Maybe Selig will retire a year early if the Brewers win it.

And the Marlins have managed to already fuck up their beautiful new stadium by adding this horrific thing in right-center field that activates when the Marlins hit home runs:

Feliz is ridiculous. You almost HAVE to get a hit early in the count, because if it gets to 2 strikes it's an automatic K.

Also, Alexei Ogando went 3-0 with a 1.something ERA against Detroit. Dude owns them, and he showed it again tonight.
With the Rangers, every game is basically a 5 or 6 inning game. After that, the bullpen takes over. |

So far talks with Cashman are going well, both sides think a deal will be reached by the end of this week.

Good to hear.
Any BoSox or Cubs fans hear anything on Epstein. Did Boston give him the green light to talk? |

Only just the Cubs saying they wanted to get permission to talk to Theo and the owner hinting Theo won't always stay as just a GM forever. Theo wants to have a higher management title but not possible with the Red Sox.
A bit surprised he keeps wanting to come back with all the "trashing" and rumors of getting fired he gets every year from management/fans and him usually hinting it could be his last year or wants to move on in the near future. |

Even with the 2010-'11 offseason and the trade deadline people were bitching and moaning that he didn't grab anybody "big". In reality, it worked out. But come on, the 2009 campaign sealed the deal.
As I said on the last page, Levine going over his head and "forcing" him to sign Soriano just so we got a "big name" during the offseason probably pissed him off. |

Apparently it's being reported Theo was spotted in Chicago. Buster Olney just said if he gets the right offer, he's gone.

I'd jump at the chance if I was Tito, if I could end the curse for the Cubs I wouldn't have to pay for anything in the city again.

Yeah, if Theo and Tito ended another curse, they'd probably become instant Hall of Famers just for that. They'd also probably be able to travel around Chicago on thrones.

Unless Detroit got an extra Verlander on ice somewhere, the Tigers are in trouble me thinks.

Tigers have been screwed on days that Verlander pitches. Each time he has started, it rained limiting his innings and killing their chances.

Milwaukee fans don't deserve to see the Brewers go to the World Series.
Did they get their asses kicked tonight? Yeah. But for the fans to get up and leave, with their team playing in Game 2 of the NLCS, at home, is ridiculous. |

Yeah at least in Milwaukee's defense, the Cardinals hammered the Brewers early on in comparison to the Rays who have struggled to sell out their playoff games the past 3 times they've made the playoffs.
Its not just Tampa but more of a Florida problem because even the Marlins had problems and those were World Series title years. |
