Jays radio is great. Alas thereโ€™s no good way to synch my MLB radio subscription feed with the YouTube TV feed ๐Ÿ˜

Smoltz feels so bad for the Yankees it really sounds like heโ€™s been rooting for them the past few innings.

Honestly after all the crap this administration has put Canada through, they deserve a little happiness

Two dominant rookie postseason appearances three days apart. What a fun time for young arms.

Remember the Yankees always struggle against rookie pitchers theyโ€™ve never seen before. Even the Red Sox guy they beat last week, Early, they didnโ€™t hit him hard and the inning they broke through took an error to get started. Itโ€™ll take them a while to solve Yesavageโ€ฆ if they do.

Vintage Base Ball: No Bunting, Stealing Bases, Wagering, Spitting or Cursing The Milwaukee Grays and the Chicago Salmon show how โ€œbase ballโ€ was meant to be played.

Tomorrow is the final game of the season for the Chicago Salmon! Weโ€™re swimming upstream to Milwaukeeโ€™s Estabrook Park beer garden for a doubleheader at 1:00 p.m. Nice preview here from the local alt-weekly: shepherdexpress.com/sports/more-...

Cam just said, "Bader straining his groin is like Achilles hurting his heel" and I can't stop laughing about it.

What a fantastic article. Someone should write a historical novel about Hรฉlรจne Dauvray.

Of course I want the Yankees to win but man you gotta love Alejandro Kirk.

Yankees players celebrate with Budweiser in the clubhouse after clinching a spot in the ALDS on Thursday night. They are wearing dark blue "October Baseball" t-shirts with the Yankees logo on the front.

So last night I wore a Jeter t-shirt that belonged to my dad. After he died my mom gave me all his Yankees gear. When they won last night I thought huh maybe the shirt is lucky. So I wore it again tonight. (It was only a little bit dirtyโ€ฆ) Seems like it worked.

And how about McMahon pulling a Jeter going face first over the railing?

The four-run inning really felt like classic curse-era Yankees-Red Sox. From that inning on the stadium was a big loud party.
