On Opening Day in 2007, the Dodgers presented Sean’s mother and father with seats from Dodger stadium. On the pair of seats is a plate that reads “In Memory of Sean …

Giants widen Wild Card lead
Behind Johnny Cueto the Giants widened their wild card lead by defeating the Cardinals, one of the teams chasing them 6 – 2. Cueto did what he’s being paid to do, and the Giant offense woke up against Adam Wainwright. Combine that with the Mets having an off day, the Giants now have a one-game …
Toles takes starting record to 14 – 3
Even when Andrew Toles does nothing, the team is so comfortable with him starting they win anyway. For the second start in a row, Andrew Toles didn’t do much to help the team win, going hitless in three at-bats in the 2 – 0 victory. On Monday Toles at least got a hit and scored …

This is insane!!! De Leon / Urias / Kershaw
Pitching in Yankee Stadium in the middle of September, in the middle of a pennant race. Sure, we all envisioned this could happen in 2018, optimistic folk might have felt it could happen in 2017. Yet, this is 2016. The future is already here and it came blazingly fast On the mound last night was …
