The results of both of Sunday's LCS games is further feeding the "homefield advantage is a silly thing" theory after three of the four LDS winners won game five on the road. –Tigers 3, Yankees 0 –Cardinals 6, Giants 4 Yeah, look at that. More road teams winning. The Tigers are now up 2-0 on […]

The Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Yankees 3-0 in game two of their AL Championship Series matchup to take a two games to none lead in the series. You have to tip your cap to both starters in this game. They both pitched their hearts out. Hiroki Kuroda threw five perfect innings for the […]

Everything offensively that the Giants faced with the Reds, they're going to face with the Cardinals…but taken to the next level. The St Louis offense is much more potent than the Cincinnati offense, hitting nine more extra base hits against the Washington pitching staff than the Reds did against the San Francisco staff. The Cardinals […]

First off, my apologies for not getting this put up yesterday…Friday's crazy night of games burned me out and I didn't get much sleep going into Saturday morning. But anyway. The Tigers and the Yankees, squaring off for a chance at the World Series. Both teams are coming off of grueling ALDS series, with the […]

When an epic strikeout pitcher like Craig Kimbrel or Aroldis Chapman is on the mound in the ninth and I'm watching, I like to end at bats against players that strikeout by quoting Mortal Kombat, and blurting out the word "FATALITY" when a player strikes out to end the game on an absolutely deadly pitch. […]

The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 6-4 in game one of the AL Championship Series to take a 1-0 lead in the series. New York's offense was put into a trance by Doug Fister and all Tigers pitchers not named Jose Valverde. Against the non-Valverde pitchers, the Yankees didn't score a run, and […]

In Saturday's ALCS game one, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter fractured his ankle in the 12th inning of the game while fielding a ground ball. Jeter's postseason is done. I like to have a lot of fun at Jeter's expense both here and on Twitter, but there's no denying that he's an iconic Yankee that clearly […]

The Detroit Tigers were leading game one of their ALCS matchup with the New York Yankees 4-0 going into the ninth inning, and there was a familiar feeling in the air. Jose Valverde was on the mound to close things out for the Tigers, but things didn't go well from the start. Russell Martin led […]

Everything was on tap for the Nationals to cruise into the NLCS after leading 6-0 after three innings last night…and then, the Cardinals postseason magic kicked in. Washington got outscored 9-1 over the final six innings of the game, and their season was suddenly over. The decision to shut Stephen Strasburg will (erroneously) potentially be […]

The Batlimore Orioles were pretty much roundly picked to finish last in the American League East. They went 14-9 in April, and we thought it was cute. They went 15-13 in May, and eyebrows raised a little bit. After a 13-13 June, people were breathing easier. and everything seemed normal after a 13-14 July. But […]
