When he reached 1 for 26 I told my wife, "That's it, I'm done with Granderson". Of course, I've also said that I'm done with Jay Bruce and that hasn't moved the needle at all. But, hey, MEANINGFUL SEPTEMBER BASEBALL.

Boy, I wonder what's taking Jay Bruce so long to arrive from Cincinnati. Plane trouble? Maternity leave? Bad maps from AAA? Stuck in the back of one of those Uber self-driving cars in Pittsburgh, doing endless circles in the PNC parking lot? Hope he gets here soon. 'Cuz it's more like Lenny Bruce these days.
What's amazing is that depending on how things go, at the end of the day they could be the first wild card, second wild card, or on the outside looking in. Meaningful Gseptember baseball.
