Congrats to the brewers for making the playoffs Their GM ran circles around Falvine in evaluating and picking up the RIGHT talent, having a good bullpen, and making deals when needed.

Some very good examples going on in the league How to build from nothing and get to the top How to build something into something really good How to quickly become relevant And as usual, our geniuses will go all Frank Sinatra. Because they know better. And the sheep will say "dey must know what dere doin ya know" One of my mantras in sports is ... watch what the people who are successful are doing. Learn from it. You don't have to copy it verbatim, but you do have to have enough common sense to LEARN FROM THEM.

Man, Jacob deGrom just put together one amazing season. [:D] Mad respect on his numbers. One guy I'd pay to watch pitch.

Mets hitters don't even usually bother to show up when he pitches. In addition to being a great pitcher, his focus is amazing. He looks like he's pitching game 7 in the World Series every time he takes the mound.

Best defense on the validity of WAR that I've seen yet: Richard Bleier, a lefty reliever who struck out fewer batters this season than Gerrit Cole did on May 4, has more WAR this season than any current Oriole. (Manny Machado and Kevin Gausman were higher, but both have been traded.) If I'd told you this before the season that Richard Bleier would walk through the Orioles clubhouse on Sept. 27 and every other player he passed would have to defer to his team-leading 15 K's and-also-by-the-way-he's-been-on-the-DL-since-June WAR, you'd have correctly intuited that the Orioles were extremely bad.

He was also grousing about some franchise, about how bad they are .... and I damn near drove to the cities and choked him out. He's starting that crap again ... "oh my, THEY'RE not very good...." Shut up sometimes dude.

Chris Davis finishes with a -3.2 WAR and a .168 batting average. That's the lowest BA among qualifying players in Major League baseball history

2 NL tiebreakers on Monday Rox/Dodgers Brewers/Cubs Sciosia is done w/Halos

Whit Merrifield is only the 7th player in history to lead MLB in both hits and stolen bases in the same season.

The 2 players I alike are Gordon (from Nebraska) and Whit. I would trade any starter on our club this past year for Whit. He can play anywhere and is a outstanding hitter.

Tigers play-by-play guys let go after their in-season scrap got too much for management. No word yet, if Dana White has plans for them.

The Reds have hired David Bell.
