It’s a good thing I stopped betting on sports, because I’d have unloaded on the Dodgers to make it to the WS for the NL, and when the matchup was HOU vs WSH I would have re-unloaded on the Stros.

Nats are crazy hot right now. Won 16 of 18 and haven’t lost in almost 3 weeks.
No one should really be surprised considering they have Scherzer and Strasburg. And I bet they pitch Game 5/6 w/ Max available in Game 7 for an inning or 2 if needed.
Honestly, I think he’s gone. I don’t think MLB allows him to umpire again.

Hope nobody makes the effort to break down his performance to see if there was any bias in his calls between white players and players of color. Am sure there is nothing there tho and he’s totally fair and balanced like the news he prolly consumes.

Honestly this China business has completely sapped my enthusiasm for the NBA this season. I haven’t even seen so much as a highlight so far and really have no intention of watching any games at this point.
John Oliver had a pretty savage piece on the issue, if you haven’t seen it check it out.

What sports organization(s) have front offices that aren’t full of complete scumbags?
Obviously FIFA and IOC are the two worst, but all of the others that I can think of are some degree of bad.
Astros fired that dude and apologized to the SI reporter.

They also need to fire whomever signed off on the press release accusing her of fabricating the story.
That was probably the owner telling the GM to make the story go away.
mother fucker, I guess maybe half credit here? I thought I had post where I said why, Nats have better starters than the Yankees and a less HR oriented offense which even in the juiced ball year is still probably better for post season play.

Now I’m torn between actually wanting a Game 5 and wanting a sweep.
