So I have a hunch on who you want in PHI/LAD, but what about the other 3?

I am currently rocking my Phillies jersey and earrings so you’d be right about your hunch haha. I hope Sam Riegel is sad and disappointed tonight.

I’m pulling for the Brewers over the Cubs because the Brew Crew has never won it all and they currently have Phillies legend Rhys Hoskins on the roster.

Tigers v. Mariners is a tough one because I have a soft spot for both. I just hope both teams have fun.

If the Toronto Blue Jays don’t annihilate the Yankees my disappointment will be immeasurable. I’m already mad Boston didn’t manage to bounce NY out of the playoffs for good.

Glad rags

I was culling misfits from my sock drawer (a task I undertake once every couple of decades, or so) when I came upon these glad rags - remnants of past Tigers' glory days.

They're all from former play-off games - handed out for free to patrons of the game and meant to be fluttered to celebrate big moments in the game (probably, says my cynical self, to impress the TV audience).

Only one of the flags has a date on it: 2014 - the last year, before this one, that the Tigers made the play-offs. It was the year the Tigers finished first in the AL Central, (90-72), but then got swept in the AL Division Series by the Baltimore Orioils. I still feel the sting.

The Tigers will meet the Astros in Houston this afternoon, in the first game of a best-of-three series.

What was that we said in 1984 ...? Bless you, boys.

Will Cubs prospect Brennen Davis make MLB debut this season?

In the second round of the 2018 MLB draft, the Cubs selected outfielder Brennen Davis out of Basha High School in Arizona. Prior to the draft, his athleticism had been quite apparent as he was also a highly touted basketball player, though he did drop basketball in his senior year to focus on baseball. After the draft in 2018, he played 18 rookie ball games, slashing .298/.431/.333. In 2019, he…
