Bloody sock my ass.

As a Cardinals fan, I did not.

I did mostly as a Yankees hater

And on a different note, enjoy retirement Adam Wainwright. When he struck out Beltran to win the ‘06 NLCS, my knees buckled just watching the pitch on TV

Thank you for that vital additional information.

You're very welcome. The 1990 World Series still stings for many people. The wrong team won that series.

I was rooting for the A’s, was hoping to see the Cardinals in Oakland.

Brewers struggling against Diamondbacks in Milwaukee. They had bases loaded and no out but could not score.

Nice. I hadn’t heard.

 

[Toucan Sam]

The Blue Jays lost yesterday to the Twins. If they lose today or tomorrow they are out.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Go DBacks & Orioles!

 

[volfanbill]

Baseball teams going to baseball.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Orioles haven't played yet.

Canseco and McGwire was 33 years ago. Good grief, that’s ancient and has less than zero to do with anything this century. Oakland played the Rays game for over a decade before the Rays started making noise in the regular season. And just like Oakland, the Rays have absolutely nothing to show for their efforts in the postseason. The A’s won the division in ‘00, ‘02, ‘03, ‘06, ‘12, ‘13, and ‘20. They were a wild card team ‘01, ‘14, ‘18, and ‘19. But again, they’re cheap and can’t win in the postseason just like Rays are doing now.

Oh look. Rays did it again
