We may be taking on water. Everyone may be more focused on a city council meeting tomorrow. I may not be able to watch. But damnit we will have a series thread. Ohtani-Irvin Suarez-Kaprielian Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it? -Steve McCatty

So that game 1 sure was a disappointment. If only we had a recent example of our resiliency… While I am not in the immediate vicinity of Chavez Ravine, I can at least tell you in the south bay of LA it feels a bit cooler today. Hopefully that keeps at least some baseballs in ...

So, we are here yet again. Well, some of us are here. I imagine a bunch of us as usual are heading to the OACC and enjoying a proper watching of big flags and long introductions. For us NRAFs and those averse to big crowds however we have a real Game thread. I have gone ...

I’m sure Donald Trump and Ted Cruz will play major roles in this Grillounge…but good grief, we need a break from that once in a while, and the Big Dance arrives just in time. Yes, it will probably come down to a FKing throwdown between Carolina and KU in Houston, but will there be a ...

Since CÃ©spedes participated in his first Home Run Derby in 2013 it’s been obvious that he loves the bright lights. Well, here’s his chance under the brightest.

The Oakland A’s begin the last week of their season today in the county of Oranges. They look to at least try and slow slegnA’s charge to the playoffs. I am posting this early to clean up the mess I have made of the last week of titles. I am sure lineups will be posted ...

This 3 game set will be highlighted by Zito-Huddy on Saturday and the Big 3 together on Sunday. The fact that this is the highlight tells you all you need to know about the teams. Technically the Gnats still have a chance, so hopefully we can kill that. But the guy who has been imitating ...
