Nah, I'm sticking with it for now. The weekend sweep made the numbers much harder for the Cards, but they still have 4 left in STL so we'll see.

I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

The Brewers and Twins just refuse to go away. Watch your back in CO as well! This thing is far from over.

On the strength of the 13-K, no-walk performance, Sale became the first AL pitcher since Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez in 1999 to reach 300 K's in a season. Sale also joined Martinez as the only pitchers in the long and storied history of the Red Sox to achieve that number.
It was the first 300-K season in the big leagues since Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw did it in 2015.
To put into perspective how rare a 300-K season is in the offensive-minded AL, consider that Sale joined Randy Johnson (1993) as just the second AL lefty to achieve it since the designated hitter was instituted in 1973. The only other AL pitchers to reach 300 over that same span aside from Sale, Johnson and Martinez? The legendary Nolan Ryan, who did it five times.

Plus the Sox clinched a playoff berth last night.
And meanwhile, the Rockies are doing their best to play themselves right out of the playoffs

I'm a baseball fan.
South side: 4 seats in the 4th row in the left field outfield for $40. Tailgating before the game for a $20 parking fee.
North side? Can't get 1 ticket for $40, parking is all private parking for like $50, and no place to tailgate.
Oh and while the jam packed north side concourse is loud as hell and continues the same during the national anthem, that night I watched the entire concourse (sans 1 black dude and a Mexican couple) stop in their tracks and wait for the national anthem to conclude before proceeding.
