This afternoon / night we saw a real classic between the Twins and Tigers. Minnesota kept things going at the Metrodome for at least one more game as they clinched the AL Central crown in 12 innings, 6-5, in a one game playoff. A memorable night of solid starting pitching, great defense, a battle of bullpens, momentum shifting homers, pitchers getting in and out of jams, and an incredibly managed game by two of baseball's best. This was easily the best regular season game I have seen all season, and one of the best this decade. The circumstances combined with the execution was absolutely brilliant. Pure October magic.

There is more to come folks.....

That WAS a fantastic game. October almost never disappoints. Despite how great the playoffs can be in the NFL, NHL or NBA - something about baseball's postseason always brings on more than its share of magic. Best postseason in pro sports for my money.

I realized that my hate index has already shifted. I hate to reseed, but:

1. Yankees (never changing)

2. Phillies (my boss is ignoring work and deadlines and dumping items on people to watch their stupid day games. I hope they never come back from Denver.

3. Red Sox (this shocked me, but I found myself enjoying watching the Angels beat them)

4. Angels (but not that much)

5. Cardinals (I forgot how much LaRussa annoys me. So smug...so failtastic)

6. Dodgers (just hard to feel any feelings towards them)

7. Twins (for not offering up the fight the Tigers might have)

8. Rockies (for being able to beat #2)

So, you expect me to let this slip???? Baseball is so overrated as a major pro sport these days. Anyone check the DFW ratings once the Rangers were out of it? Putrid! Now that the Cards have been swept along with Boston they might as well close up shop for the year. Major League baseball better do something for the Rangers quick or MLB will lose one of the biggest TV markets in the country...if it hasn't been lost already. Just saying.

Soccer...now that's exciting...anyone check out the USA's win over Honduras in World Cup qualifying this Saturday? A 3-2 comeback win by the US to seal a World Cup berth in South Africa. See, soccer really has a "World Series", not like that baseball thing where only one country is playing in its "World Series"...what a joke!

There...just had to chime in to support my "footy"!

You must be Kidding a Dodgers/Yankees World Series would bring crazy ratings for baseball these days. Torre vs his old Club, and Yankee & Dodger match up is as classic as they come even from the old Brooklyn days. Don't let your delusions of crappy old soccer distort your judgment too much. Soccer is so third world!

I won't watch it/care about it. The Rockies are the only thing keeping me even remotely interested in MLB. I'm with Kram...can't wait for the Cup!

You might not care or watch it, but of all the series that are possible this year a Dodgers - Yankees series would have the best ratings. It is opposite coasts, there is a story, there is tradition, there is some drama. Plus the Yankee haters will jump on the Dodger bandwagon. Plus it should be good baseball.

Is the most exciting year since you started following them in 1995?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
