October baseball, NFL in effect and the NBA preseason just starting up. Love this time of year!

Good start for the Yankees.

Just like that we have a tie game!

Fun first inning so far.

Nice rally by Colorado to get Greinke out of the game after trailing 6-0 going into the inning. Game on!

I didn't get to watch a single minute of the game, but I am quite pleased with the result.

That Altuve guy is pretty good.

I agree. I'm terribly afraid of Cleveland if the Astros manage to get past the Sawx, but I can't take much more of the Judge Knob Slobbing.

Altuve for MVP.

That is all.

Yeah I would have to give a slight nod for Altuve over Jose Ramirez, although both have been incredible this season.

I am not sure what the media will do if HOU and CLE take out the media darlings of BOS and NYY. Probably go all out into Dodger mode I guess.

Hope nobody thinks we should still fire Girardi.

Scherzer and the Nats having a pretty fun meltdown right now. Good stuff.

Nats pulled defeat from the jaws of victory. No two ways about it, they beat themselves. I fully expect us to get shellacked by the Dodgers.

This year is basically a reversal of last year. They've got the home court and they've the rotation set up perfectly for the NLCS and they are facing the team that got stretched to 5 by Nats, who also had to burn a starter out of the pen in that game.

Also, ouch sir. Very much ouch.
