    Jays-Yankees game was fun, they scored about 15 runs in the last 4 innings.

    That went without saying. :)
    I was texting my St. Petersburg neighbor during the Stanley Cup to help the jinx even more

    Yankees about to have another comeback win. I doubt the A's will score 4 to tie it. Yankees got help from the A's catcher twice. 5-3, runner on 1st with 1 out. Judge reaches on catcher interference. New pitcher comes in and 1st pitch, Rizzo gets hit. Bases loaded and then Stanton reaches on base due to catcher interference. 5-4 and eventually they make it 9-5. I always joke on how I'm bad luck when I watch the Astros. It seems it carries onto the Yankees. Whenever I check the score or look at the pitch by pitch thing, they do well.

    Which 1995 Astro now managing an AL West team was more...dead weight?

    Nevin

    Servais always sucked

    Nevin went on to have some great years, just not with us

    1995 Servais was all star quality after he was traded to the Cubs. .931 OPS in 200+ plate appearances

    How did Bo Bichette and his .726 OPS make All-Star?

    Because people are voting, and Toronto has an entire country voting for him. But I get what you mean.

    Blame Canada

    also, he hasn't made anything yet. Fan voting goes like this now:

    After a 25-day Primary Round, the top three vote-getters at each position (top nine in the outfield) per league advance to the Starters Election. At that point, vote totals are reset, and fans have a 28-hour period to vote on starters from the list of finalists at each position.

    Kalas has been saying top 2 and top 6 for the past week or so. 3 and 9 makes more sense.
