They both have great pitching. Looking forward to October. Should be some terrific baseball games.

no wonder the Yankees have so many injuries.  

[m0nkey]

If a catch happens in an Orioles-blue jays game in September, does it still count?

Looks just like trouts

New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances suffered a partial left Achilles tear during his season debut on Sunday, the team announced Tuesday, according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic.

Betances suffered the injury while jumping on the mound in Toronto, manager Aaron Boone said, according to James Wagner of The New York Times.

He appeared to suffer the injury while dancing off the mound after recording the second out of the fourth inning, erroneously thinking the strikeout was the final out of the frame.

reminds me of this doofus.

Buster Olney, citing "sources", is reporting that German will not pitch in the postseason. 

18-4 and the Yankees' most reliable starter. That will hurt.

That's awful

Vlad Jr., that was a cool thing to do after being robbed of a HR.

People on this message board lamented AP's contract keeping the Angels from adding this potential "upgrade"

If the Cubbies don’t make the post season, I would imagine Maddon will become unemployed.

Not that I don’t think he is an upgrade over Ausmus, I would lean towards that actually being the case.  I am not looking forward to Angel fans that think he is somehow a difference maker.  He is basically a cooler version of Scioscia.  He goes with his gut just as much.

At least Maddon has a proven track record of being able to win. The coolness factor is just icing on the cake.

He tries too hard to be cool
