Multiple sports-bro accounts are encouraging people to dox her and reveling in how her life's gonna be hell on Monday. I wonder if any of these sports bros, when they win some big parlay, if they give that money to a child in the neighborhood. Or when they win some online sports bet with another sports bro for a steak dinner, let a child they don't know have that steak dinner. 

No I totally agree. Still, it’s convention to give the kid a ball. It’s just one of those things.

In this instance, it's the guy's own kid, so it would be really weird if he didn't give his kid the ball. But if somebody catches a foul ball at a game, why are they obligated to give it to a kid? Are we supposed to stop at the ATM and get a wad of twenties to start handing out to other people's kids at a game?

Cubs closer Palencia came in with a 3-1 lead and went HR > single > walk > HR > triple to blow the save before leaving with injury.

Lots of playoff teams with some struggles lately.

His ERA seemed unsustainable. Rough August too. ERA raised almost a point tonight, yikes.

Wow - that's a great baseball moment.....unless you're the Dodgers or a Dodgers fan, of course.  Very thrilling.

Dodgers started this season looking like they would breeze through it, and it doesn’t look like that is happening now

This was fucking awesome. Rizzo is sitting in left field and Moises's first home run literally bounced off his hand. Rizzo couldn't make the catch. Bounced off his hand. He says "that's why I'm retired" 😅. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

welp, the Mets lose again but so do the Giants and Nick Kurtz just hit a grand slam vs the Reds. 493 feet, my god. 

"good lord" is right. longest homer of the season and the rookie already has 2 grand slams. A's have a fun team.

It's pretty sad that the last wild card spot is gonna be some .500 team in the NL.

it'll be hilarious when the $340mil team misses the playoffs. Of course, if it was the 2012-2021 format, the final WC team would be on pace to win 90ish games.

Cal Raleigh with #55 and #56 tonight.  He breaks Mantle's switch hitter HR record and ties Ken Griffey Jr's all-time Mariners record for HRs in a season as the M's win their 10th straight game.

I'd be thrilled to see a Seattle vs. Milwaukee World Series this year....two teams that have never won a WS title and two teams that started out in Seattle.  And no, that match-up wouldn't disprove MLB's competitive balance problem. 

The Padres, who are playoff-bound, have also never won a WS title (along with the Rays and Rockies).

Mets have now used 46 different pitchers this season ... setting a big league record.

David Stearns master class on how to build out a pitching staff. Just watched Stanek give up another homer. Why did they re-sign him for $4.5mil after he pitched to a 6 ERA for them? He's above 5 this season.

You know what's funny? The Rays got Mike Vasil from the Mets.

Helsley has been the biggest enigma.

Also added Rogers and Soto.

Yankees and Mets both struggling mightily in their bullpens down the stretch.

 

Luckily, Cincy and SF and AZ not pressuring them like CLE and Texas in the AL.

I think Texas blew it. They're about to lose their fourth in a row. Guardians could sneak in, 5 games left vs DET, 4 vs MIN, 3 vs TX. All winnable with how they've been playing. Boston and Houston have medium difficulty schedules left, I could see Boston dropping out (would be almost as funny as the Mets falling out). 

AZ just took 2 of 3 from SF. Preferred either team got the sweep. Reds finish the season playing everyone in their division which is interesting...took 2 of 3 from STL but I don't see them winning enough vs Cubs or @ Brewers. DBacks schedule is pretty brutal to end the year. Giants have 4 games in LA then it's pretty easy.

Mets should have the last spot secured unless they blow it in Washington...something I wouldn't put past them. I'd actually be surprised if any of teams currently in playoff position drops out. But it's been a really interesting race.
