Quote of the day
"I think I have a man crush on [Jason Giambi]. That was pretty awesome. Boy, did he hit that ball. Wow!" -- Cleveland manager Terry Francona, after Giambi crushed a walk-off pinch hit 2-run HR to overtake the White SoxDaily blurb
The chase for the postseason in the American League has essentially come down to three teams chasing two wild card spots. All three won last night, Cleveland’s being the most dramatic. But two of those three teams will be eliminated within a week, since the one-game AL “play-in game” will be next Wednesday, weather permitting. (And if it’s in Tampa, weather won’t matter.) There is supposedly a proposal being floated to move to an 18-game NFL season while limiting individual players to no more than 16 games played. Interesting concept, but it sounds like the fantasy football implications would be tricky, as most players would now effectively have three byes during the season (unless the bye week is eliminated as a consequence, which seems unlikely.) Interesting to contemplate, but premature to get worked up about. |
