Today's starter for Seattle, Bryce Miller, usually does well the first time through the batting order. The second time through he is directly responsible for a measurable uptick in local cases of acid reflux. The third time through he spontaneously combusts.

Tigers win game 3 - (9 to 3) - Skubal pitched game 5!

(LOL)

Will you again be jinxing the Ms by predicting doom for the Tigers?

Go Yankees! That was quite a game.

It was indeed.

Judge with a super-clutch bomb with an 0-2 count.

Not saying a word.

Should be a great game 5.

(Did you know that the M's beat Skubal 3 times this year?)

I hope so.

I thought it was twice. He didn't get the L in game 2, did he?

I think you're right - I think he got a ND in that Tiger loss.

That sounds right. The Ms survived Skubal, but they didn't beat him.

Cubs force game 5 against the Brewers.

These are the saddest of possible words:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double—
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”

--Baseball's Sad Lexicon, Franklin Pierce Adams (1910)
