    Said on the broadcast that the top-3 AL ERAs in the regular season - Sale, Kluber, Severino - have an ERA of 18.00 through 1 postseason start.

    Cy Young candidates Kluber, Sale, Severino -- 8 innings combined, 18 runs.

    Makes you truly appreciate the 12 innings, 3 runs, Verlander and Keuchel have put in.

    I believe it's called "context" not "excuses". A whole bunch of people like to use it when formulating opinions or analyzing situations.

    I don't mind a-rod, but if I see Another Met from '86 I'm going to puke.

    Everyone at schooner tuna is sympathizing with the redsox during these hard times. So they are reducing their prices by 50 cents a can. When the crisis is over they will go back to their regular prices next year. The tuna with a heart.

    If the Yankees can win this series we're going to the World Series. I'm scared of Cleveland.

    Buck saying "the week off" is why he didn't pitch well is an excuse. If you want to call it something else that's fine. Then followed up with he "had no control". So in other words he sucked today. Call a spade a spade. When he comes in and is lights out he should definitely be praised. Link today he was flat out horrible. Tomorrow is another day. Certainly pulling for him!!

    Top 7 AL ERA leaders have a combined 18 ERA so far. Now the guy in 8th place..he look okay.

    Peacock is fine with me, He earned it. He'll be amped up, but no experience. Some risk. McHugh is probably less hungry, but has experience in the lights. It really doesn't matter much with a 2 game lead. We are operating from position now.

    McHugh isn't even on the roster so that's not an option.

    Indians getting pounded right now. 8-3 Yankees. That series may go the distance.

    Big opportunity for Astros to sweep on Sunday, get a week of rest, and get the rotation ready for ALCS.

    Especially since he's "less hungry".

    That's how I feel. I'm cheering for the Yankees in that series for sure. Not because I particularly like them, but I feel confident we'll beat them while not the case with the Indians.
