Stanton gets 1 more chance in the 9th.

Struck out, but got a standing O.

@OverTheMonster: Pablo Sandoval hit a walkoff home run for the Giants to end their season. In classic Sandoval fashion, it cost the team the # 1 overall pick

I thought he was cut.

I thought he was cut.

This. IIRC, he got paid, sucked, got cut, then claimed, and is back with his orig team.

Where he continued to suck. Between late August, early September, he went hitless in 38 plate appearances, setting a Giants record.

And that is a shame. I liked Panda Bear.

@ajacksonevans: With yesterday's HBP from the 8-spot, Chase Utley has completed his bingo card of getting a HBP at every spot in the order. @baseball_ref https://twitter.com/ajacksonevans/status/914587593936949249/photo/1

Bingo?
Wouldn't it be blackout? ... Definitely if any hit the helmet.

If we're picking the playoffs:

... and if I go with the old saw about "pitching and defense" that says Cleveland. They led the AL in both pitching and fielding percentage.

*Yawn* Indians/'Stros and Diamondbacks/Cubs. Rematch of 2016. Cubs back-to-back just to **** me off.

Fully aboard the Twins bandwagon though! Totally can't wait to have my heart stomped out twice in a week! Stupid Cardinals winning Saturday night.

Giants clinched the worst record and 1st pick in the draft next year

Oops. Forgot all about the Tiggers.

Terry Collins to resign.

A moment of silence, while we contemplate his finest hour.

You can't fire me, I quit.

And it sounds like they were going to fire him.

Both times the Twins have beat the Yankees in the playoffs, it was a game 1 and their starting pitcher was Santana.

Polls for favorite NL and AL teams. This is the team you root for, not the team you think will win.

Well, clearly, there's their strategy.

(Checks tonight's pitchers.)

Huh.

Fred was shielding him but even he had had enough.

The problem is Jeffy is business partners with Mike Barwis, our strength and conditioning coach, who appears to be incompetent.

Twins are going to shock the baseball world tonight. 5-4 in extras.
