Hi friends.  Here’s how I see baseball on this Thursday, October 14, the morning of game 5 of the NLDS.  Late tonight, (needlessly late since they’re the only game in town), the Dodgers and Giants will play for the right to face the Braves in the upcoming NLCS.  Before focusing on that game, a ...

Hi friends. Here’s how I see baseball on this Thursday, August 26.  In spite of all MLB has done to deprive the fans of fun extra-inning games, there was a crowd-pleasing 16-inning marathon last night in Los Angeles.  The Dodgers beat the Padres 5—3 in a game the Padres had tied at 3 ...
