The Toronto Blue Jays thumped the Kansas City Royals 11-8 on Monday night, taking Game 3 of the ALCS and cutting the Royals’ lead in the series to 2-1. Kansas City actually put the first run of the game on the board in the first inning. Alcides Escobar tripled to left on a ball misplayed […]

Toronto Blue Jays fans embarrassed themselves at the Rogers Centre when they littered the field with beer cans and garbage following a call that didn’t go their way in Game 5 against the Texas Rangers. The game was delayed, a baby was sprayed by an errant beer can, and the Blue Jays had to issue a […]

As baseball fans, we have been graced to have four teams in the League Championship round who are not perennial powerhouses. This is the first year since 2011 that we didn’t have at least two of the Giants, Cardinals, Red Sox, and Yankees and the first year since 1997 that none of those four made […]

The Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in another hole after losing their second straight game to start the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals. The Blue Jays came back down 0-2 against the Texas Rangers, but doing so versus the Royals will be no easy task. So what needs to happen for that to happen? Here’s […]

Pitching was expected to be a big factor in the New York Mets advancing in the postseason. As expected, those young arms are why the Mets have a 2-0 lead in the NLCS after beating the Chicago Cubs 4-1 on Sunday night. Noah Syndergaard racked up nine strikeouts in 5.2 innings, allowing one run and […]

Remember when the question of whether or not Matt Harvey would pitch for the New York Mets in September and October was a thing? The Chicago Cubs are probably wishing Harvey stuck to the innings limit that his agent, Scott Boras, wanted. Coming off a shaky start in Game 3 of the NLDS, Harvey got […]

David Price was a freight train that couldn’t be stopped through the first six innings of Saturday’s ALCS Game 2. After allowing a single to Alcides Escobar to lead off the game, Price didn’t allow a baserunner over the next six innings. 18 Royals came to the plate after Escobar’s single, and all 18 of […]

The National League Championship Series starts tonight, pitting two equally excellent teams who haven’t won the big one in a long, long time against one another. The Mets and the Cubs both come into this series after emotional wins in the first round: the Cubs vanquished their longtime rival the Cardinals, while the upstart Mets […]

The Kansas City Royals drew first blood in their ALCS matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays, wearing down the Jays and earning a 5-0 win. The Royals now have a 1-0 lead in the series. The two teams felt each other out in the early going. The Jays couldn’t make anything of a two-out walk […]

After many home runs and a few other fireworks, the two teams from Texas have been eliminated, each in five game series. Now we have the scrappy bunch from Kansas City, who use Gold Glove defense and an incredible bullpen to keep their opponents from scoring and the upgraded Blue Jays who prefer to keep […]

Year one of the Andrew Friedman era in Los Angeles didn’t go as planned. The Dodgers didn’t dominate the National League as expected, despite holding at least a share of the NL West lead since the tenth game of the season for all but one day. They didn’t blow the rest of the division away, however […]

In 1985, Ronald Reagan was president, McGyver was dismantling bombs, and Rocky was battling Ivan Drago.  In the midst of this strange decade there was some good baseball going on as well. The only team to win the World Series multiple times in the decade was the Dodgers (1981 and 1988) and epic moments flooded […]

Thursday’s Game 5 of the NLDS could have been Daniel Murphy’s final game in a Mets uniform. But he made sure his career with the team will last for at least one more postseason series. The Mets second baseman batted 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, leading New York to a 3-2 victory […]
