Sam has left such a bad taste in this city politically that I hate to say this but having seen them be uber successful in this league i just would not miss them that much,

On the other hand they could just charge $2 a year and the city could say they doubled their tax.

I wonder if he ever had this much trouble with the team when he was still mayor

Pittsburgh is in danger on going over the cliff virus wise, another option Baltimore is in the same scenario.

The Padres make MLB history as the 1st team to hit a grand slam in 4 consecutive games.

Jays were in pretty dire straits recently and have now won 5 in a row and all of a sudden are looking like a playoff team (pretty much everyone above 500 makes it in). 

During the back half of today's double header, they were down 7-0 in the first, cake back and won 9-8...

Yankees getting healthy, pitching back on track and the big sticks came out, Blue Jays won't forget this 3 game series for awhile.

It's good timing to get everyone back. But, the home runs tend to disappear in the playoffs. They better be able to hit for average and not rely on getting 5+ dingers per game. 

Cole is dealing, though.

This post season might be different with limited days teams will have to use all their 5 starters and won’t be able to constantly roll out the same 3-4 relievers.

Good timing and 200 million dollars!

I don't know how anyone watches MLB with no real cap.

The two teams with the lowest payrolls are leading their divisions. Tampa and Oakland.

Yankees put their money back into the club unlike some others.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Yankees have an exclusive ppv stream that other clubs do not which generates 100s of millions in profit?

They have the YES network which they own, Cubs now also have their own network Marquee network.

Blue Jays owners also own the network they play on.

This is kind of difficult for it to matter considering that we might lose the goldeyes

[Noeller]

Blue Jays clinch post season spot in strange MLB year. 8 teams in each league make the playoffs, and Jays will likely be either 7 or 8. Who knows how long they'll last, but they're a fun team to watch so here's hoping...

It's okay, folks, the Yankees are still in it. There's your new team! Go Yankees!

[FrostyWinnipeg]

I know there is an expanded playoff system but i never thought miami with all that covid would get in.
