I seriously can't believe how bad the yankees are ing a-rod with this whole thing girardi pretending like they are still "in it and trying to win ball games" forcing him to have a bullcrap retirement that ends on a random night in august for no reason wont even let him attempt to play, blame it on low batting average even though he's barely played since june like....YOU ARE THE ONES who gave a-rod that stupid contract and now all of a sudden you're pissed off and are completely destroying the guy? it's literally going to be the worst/most uneventful ending to a major athletes career, ever. Watch Aaron Judge still not get the call.

Going to my first baseball match tomorrow at Yankee Stadium as part of my holiday. Need to learn the rules except for most home runs wins (I think).
Anyone got any tips of what to expect, things to do or how to travel?

Going to my first baseball match tomorrow at Yankee Stadium as part of my holiday. Need to learn the rules except for most home runs wins (I think). Anyone got any tips of what to expect, things to do or how to travel? Well I don't know much about traveling but have fun. It doesn't have to be the most home runs. Home run is when a ball leaves the yard or when a player circles all four bases and scores. This is an inside the park hone run. Whoever has the most runs at the end of nine innings or later wins. Ed Delahanty and Bob Horner were two of 16 players in history to homer four times in one game and their teams still lost. It's three strikes and you're out, a strikeout. However this can take a while. The strike zone (varies by umpire) determines balls and strikes. Four balls constitutes a player being awarded first base. If a pitch hits a batter, they go to first. It doesn't even have to hit him. If it brushes the jersey, that's a hit by pitch. If the batter swings while hit by a pitch, it doesn't count. If the home team is ahead, they can close it out in the top of the 9th. Bottom of the 9th for the road team. If the home team scores more runs in the bottom of the ninth or extra innings, the game ends immediately. It's a walk off.

How about a complete game, four hit shutout for Michael Fulmer on the road against the Rangers? He also had nine strikeouts and no walks.

Cubs are 25-9 since the All Star break. Dodgers are learning that the Reds are the next team with the best record since.

Cubs are 25-9 since the All Star break. As I said very early on this season, if the Cubs don't win the World Series then this season is an utter failure for them. I rarely say things so bold.

I've gotten so used to this team just disappointing. I was so confident, so sure they would win Game 6 in 2003. Since then, I've learned to hope for the best but expect the worst with them.

The good thing about the regular season is there is a tomorrow.
Playoffs? There's either no tomorrow or a shorter leash.
