Somebody may have mentioned something about "worthiness" but they were probably wrong.

Padres 2-1 game, 2-1 series. Fans may not need another I-5 trip.

2 people may have mentioned something about "hopefulness", but they were probably wrong.

Interesting article on Judge's home runs. Says except for the dead balls this year, he could have hit 80.

The beauty of baseball.

It's always something.

Fickle fans:

Aaron Judge booed at Yankee Stadium after 4-strikeout game: 'I gotta play better'

... The performance came after Judge went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a walk in Game 1. It was also his fourth career four-strikeout game in the postseason, the most by any player in MLB history per ESPN.

Not 'Mr. October'.

... Yankees manager Aaron Boone's take on the booing was even more straightforward:

"It's The Bronx, man."

Was that Aaron Judge's last home game at Yankee Stadium?

With the best-of-5 series tied 1-1, the Guardians are two wins away from ending the ALDS before it goes back to Yankee Stadium, raising the possibility that Judge just played his last game in Yankee Stadium as a member of the Yankees.

The MVP frontrunner is a free agent after this season, as many baseball fans know. He is a lock to land a mega-contract, but whether or not that contract comes from the Yankees remains to be seen. It's hard to imagine the club wants Judge playing elsewhere, but there is suddenly a very real possibility that Judge's home career at Yankee Stadium could end on a very ugly note.

Otoh, maybe he'll be a Game 5 hero in NYC.

Raining in San Diego during a baseball game?

End of days.

Raining in San Diego during a baseball game?

End of days.

Padres > LAD! They weren't "worthy".
Phillies!
Mariners lost by a total of 4 runs in 3 games.
Go NYY or CLE (leading 2-1) > Cheatin' Astros
Go Phillies or Padres to win the WS.

I called it. Tuesday in The Bronx, man:

4 AB, 1 R, 2 H, 1 RBI, 1 HR. NYY 5-1. All is forgiven . . . until the next 4 K game in NYC.

Tonight not so good - 4 AB and nothing. Cheatin' Astros 4-2.

Ut-oh. Yankees have to sweep their home stand and pick up a Houston game later.

True , but I won't hold out much hope for them if they go down 1-3.

Somebody may have mentioned something about "worthiness" but they were probably wrong.

Speaking of the unworthy , I've been waiting for you to come out of the fan "closet".

The Phillies have marched within two wins of the World Series — and there’s nothing routine about the way they’ve done it

Philly, SD, or divided loyalties like the Nola family?

Ftr, I like both and want the winner to beat either Houston or the NYY.

From personal history, I should be a Phillies fan, but it's been a long time and I haven't really kept up with them or who's on the team. I'm trying to be a Padres fan, but so far I've gotten to the point where I root for them to win, but don't cry in my beer if they lose. So yeah, either one of those will suit me in the Series, especially if they beat Houston. I do like the Yanks too, though. When I was a kid, we had the Phillies, but they were awful. And the Yanks and Dodgers were going at it every year so most everybody had a pick of those two. Yer either a Dodger or a Yank fan since the Phillies were out of it by August or so most of the time.

Ditto. MAYBE I'll flip to it during NFL timeouts. (5) San Diego and (6) Philadelphia sure have bats. Currently 6-9 top 7th.
