Chicago Cubs’ success not defined by Postseason

0 comments by

The Chicago Cubs hired away Theo Epstein from the Red Sox in 2011. For their fans, the journey back to competitiveness and relevance has been a long and often frustrating one. But this year finally saw the plan start to come together. The Cubs won 97 games in the regular season, which was the third best […]

Royals beating the tar out of Blue Jays in the late innings

0 comments by

Going into the ALCS, one of the main stories was the Blue Jays offense versus the Royals bullpen. Could Toronto put enough runs on the board early on to render Kansas City’s dominant bullpen an afterthought? Well, as the 3-1 series lead for the Royals may indicate, that really hasn’t happened. The Jays have scored […]

Mets on verge of World Series with 5-2 win over Cubs

0 comments by

The Chicago Cubs have seen this story before. Strong starting pitching from Jacob deGrom and yet another home run by Daniel Murphy has the New York Mets one win away from the World Series as they took Game 3 of the NLCS, 5-2. Once again, the Cubs couldn’t mount much offense against the Mets pitching. […]

Kyle Schwarber reaches way outside for opposite field homer, ties NLCS Game 3

0 comments by TOC Locker on 10/20/2015

In the first inning of Tuesday’s NLCS Game, the Mets took an early 1-0 lead, which may have gotten Cubs fans pretty anxious. But in the home half of the inning, Kyle Schwarber once again came to the rescue, launching a home run to tie the game. Calling it a home run might not be […]

Jose Bautista met mini-Bautista on Tuesday

0 comments by TOC Locker

During Game 5 of the ALDS, a Blue Jays fan nicknamed “mini-Bautista” for his Jose Bautista-esque drawn on beard gained fame online for mimicking his home run in the seventh inning of Toronto’s win over Texas. Before Game 4 of the ALCS on Tuesday, mini-Bautista met his hero – and Josh Donaldson, too. Getting some […]

For the Royals, their D makes the difference

0 comments by

The Kansas City Royals continue to surprise people as they have for the past two seasons. No one thought they would win the Wild Card in 2014 or then make it to the World Series. No one thought they would return to the playoffs this year despite being the top AL team the year before […]

Cubs have work to do to make NLCS a competitive series

0 comments by

The Chicago Cubs are in trouble. Down 2-0 in the NLCS to a Mets team that suddenly looks unbeatable and having seen their two best starting pitchers battered, the Cubs are returning home to their friendly confines at just the right time. It’s a must-win game for them tonight, and playing in their own park […]

The 2015 World Series is airing (as usual) on Fox, and for the first time, The Simpsons are featured in a promo for the series. The promo will start airing on Fox’s family of networks on Wednesday. Sure, The Simpsons aren’t what they were anymore, but it’s still cool to see them in a World […]

Domonic Brown might not even be a worthy buy low option

0 comments by

On Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies seemingly excised one of the most disappointing prospects in recent memory when they outrighted Domonic Brown off of their 40-man roster. The 28-year old Brown isn’t a free agent yet – he could still accept an assignment to the minor leagues and stay in the Phillies organization. But the more […]

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 […]

Kevin Pillar slams into center field wall making catch

0 comments by TOC Locker

Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar is a fantastic defender. Occasionally when tracking down long fly balls, he runs into things. In the top of the first inning of Monday’s ALCS Game 3, Pillar tracked down this Lorenzo Cain fly ball…and smashed into the fence. The Jays could have used Pillar in right to […]
