    I've felt the same as well.

      So much for Mike Trout's pursuit of the 'best season ever'. He's had some trouble staying on the field this season. Missing a 5th straight game tonight.

          Odubel Herrera scores Asdrubal Cabrera.

          And all this time I never thought there was anything that rhymed with Odubel Herrera!

            Cubs win. Cards lose. Pirates lose. Brewers idle. Not bad.

            Hamels looking like a solid acquisition so far.

              It's so weird seeing Osuna in an Astros uniform.

                  Damnit Yadier!!!!

                  Bases loaded and grounded into a double play.
                  I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                    It's definitely hard to root for them now. This means I have to root for the Central winner and WC #2 to knock off either Boston or NYY in the playoffs.

                      Finally a record that won't be broken for a while.

                      David Peralta is the first player of the Modern Era (1900) with 4+ hits and 2+ HR in a game with every hit coming in the 9th inning or later.

                      And the first player in the Modern Era with 11 total bases in the 9th inning or later.

                        I feel like there have been unlimited walkoff homeruns this year. That's your next project TC. Because I feel like it might be record breaking. I know there have been alot for sure.

                          Maybe it's because Albies isn't starting, but Atlanta's lineup doesn't look playoff-caliber to me. Charlie Culberson batting 2nd, Markakis/Suzuki/Inciarte batting 4/5/6 looks pretty weak. I wonder if Atlanta is struggling to score runs.

                            Mr. Exit Velocity -- David Bote gets the Cubs on the board early.

                              I have every home run this year written down. Gimme some time to go over which ones were walkoffs.
