Whatever Lola wants Lola gets, Take off your coat Don’t you know you can’t win? You’re no exception to the rule, I’m irresistible, you fool, give in!…Give in!…Give in! By being the only team to score a road win, the damn Yankees have put themselves in position to thwart the Red Sox once again. If …

Well, the Braves like home cooking I guess. Last night they won over the Dodgers 6 – 5. It was more convincing than that looks, neither team scored after the 6th. So anything can happen but the Braves still face elimination today against the Dodgers. Braves will send out Mike Foltynewicz (R, 13 – 10, …

Wild Thing 2- Redux I expect that’s the last time I’ll get to play that clip this Season. The Indians are facing elimination down 2 – 0 and while the Braves got their miracle last night, the Rockies did not. The Indians are going to start Mike Clevinger (R, 13 – 8, 3.02 ERA). In …

So the Braves are looking for home cooking to change things around. Unfortunately for the Braves I don’t think they’ll find it any better than road food. The Dodgers continue to look like the team to beat despite the Yankee win last night. Sean Newcomb (L, 12 – 9, 3.90 ERA) pitched 2 scoreless Innings …

Wild Thing 2 Well, in the movies. In real life the Indians are down 1 – 0 to the ‘Stros which is significant in a short Series like a Division Championship but not unexpected for an away game. The ‘Stros will send Gerrit Cole (R, 15 – 5, 2.88 ERA) to the mound. The last …

From 2 teams I have some admiration for to 2 teams I don’t like at all. Braves / Dodgers resumes with the Dodgers leading the Braves 1 – 0. Tonight the Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw (L, 9 – 5, 2.73 ERA) to face Aníbal Sánchez (R, 7 – 6, 2.83 ERA) of the Braves. Kershaw …

Lola strikes. I suppose I should view this with greater anticipation but I’ve been watching Yankees / Red Sox all year (19 Games!). The sad thing is that these are the only two teams in post-Season I care about even a little. The Red Sox will start David Price (L, 16 – 7, 3.58 ERA) …
