Yankees being eliminated still leaves me dead inside weeks later. I miss them. This must be what it feels like when parents send their kids off to college far away -_-

Gee whizz, it really must suck to see those plucky underdog Yankees lose. If only they had like 27 World Series wins, they'd be grand.

Tony La Russa is going to be the manager of the White Sox after not coaching since 2011. He's 76.

I saw this headline earlier today and thought he died at first

He's been with the Red Sox for a bit in some weird made up position.

Good news coming out of Miami. Hope she does well.

She's a great hire by the Marlins. I hope she does an absolute job to make the Marlins contenders and beyond.

 

[Chris]

Her resume is pretty stacked so good for her, she been working her way up for awhile

Does anyone know if Nelson Cruz was the oldest player to win the Silver Slugger award? I feel like it's between him and Barry Bonds*

HOLY SNELL

What a deal for the Padres. We could have used him in NY, but, oh well.

Looks like the Padres are trying to get Yu Darvish as well

This has me very excited for our next season. Our rotation is looking scary good now

 

[Jimmy King]

Darvish is a Padre now. Padres are going all in for the 2021 season and I’m absolutely here for it.
