    Tigers/Guardians last of the Divisional Series today. Winner gets the Yankee's and in the NLCS it's the surprising Mets vs the Dodgers.

    Stu's Guardians took care of business and are in the ALCS vs the Yankee's.

    Go Cleveland! Rooting for a fellow rust belt team against the West and East Coast plutocrats.

    With the Phillies and the Tigers out, the Guardians are the only team left that I like. Go Guardians! (Still don’t like the name but I like the team) Hope my support doesn’t jinx them.

    Listening to the ALCS TV announcers talk about the Yankees is like listening to the View talking about Kamala. I'm gonna listen to Tom Hamilton on the local radio next game. Much more balanced and informative.

    I did not start watching until the 8th inning. Once the Yankees scored those two home runs, I did not give the Guardians much hope. Turned out ot be a winner for the fans and anyone watching the game on TV!

    Stu, I do not follow baseball very much, but just happened to tune in last night on Youtube, which happens to be my sole connection the the Internet other than free TV. It was an exciting finish.

    Dodgers Win! Nearly swept the Yankees. Somewhere the old Dodger Dog is smiling. I know Diane is also very happy!

    Bob Costas retired after 42 years as a baseball commentator. I know there's a wide range of opinions here about sports commentators. Personally, I liked Costas. Smart, knowledgeable, smooth delivery. Easy to listen to, at least for me.

    I'm also a fan, Sid. I used to think Costas would be a good commissioner but also understood why he wouldn't take the job.

    Although I don't approve of fan interference, shout out and Bear Down to his buddy, Austin.
