I'm not sure the weather matters in Milwaukee. It has a retractable roof. Cool park, by the way.

=Gwreck post_id=171841 time=1727333289 user_id=56] There are 64 possible combinations of NYM, ATL, and ARZ wins in the games Fri-Sun. -6 cancel the games on Monday entirely: NYM and either ATL or ARZ has clinched and there is no seeding at issue. -13 scenarios have NYM and either ATL or ARZ clinching before Monday, but seeding still undecided. -My personal favorite: 10 scenarios have NYM clinching in advance, but the games matter to determine if ATL or ARZ gets the wild card. In 7 of these instances, NYM's seed is undecided, and in 3 instances it doesn't matter. (Should this situation come to pass, Mets need to tell MLB to pound sand, they're not going to Atlanta, and let ATL and ARZ play a tiebreaker game between themselves, flip a coin, or whatever). -Conversely, there are 2 scenarios in which ATL clinches before Monday and the games matter to determine if NYM or ARZ gets the final wild card. In both instances, NYM would need to win only 1 of the 2 games of the doubleheader to clinch. -19 scenarios would require NYM to win either of the 2 games in Atlanta. In 10 of those instances, they can clinch with a win in Game 1 and Game 2 is cancelled. In 4 instances, if NYM wins Game 1, Game 2 still matters to determine if ARZ or ATL gets the other wild card. In 5 instances, the second game would matter only for NYM/ARZ seeding. -13 scenarios would require NYM to win both games on Monday. In 9 instances, second game is cancelled if the NYM loses. In 4 instances, second game would matter for ATL/ARZ seeding. -Finally, there is 1 scenario in which NYM is eliminated before Monday: MIL sweeps NYM, ATL sweeps KC, ARZ sweeps SD.

This Acuna kid seems pretty good.

Yeah, decent game by Ohtani.

Good win!!!! Especially with the Braves and DBacks winning.

Rats. Get two, give two back.

Acuna seems to be a keeper!

Might be a good game for Ottovino.

Nine-run innings are good.

I don't think Diane M has been to the top three ballparks if she is citing a connection between attendance and things to do in the neighborhood. Dodgers and Phils play in giant parking lots and the Skanks play in the Bronx. Alvarez's shot was a blast! Reds not helping us tonight - and not counting on the Rockies helping, either.

Finally a little help from the Dodgers.

=Cowtipper post_id=170346 time=1726429873 user_id=166] See you in 2025.

If the A's aren't Reggie, must be Big Mac!

Thanks for nothing, Dodgers.

Perhaps the Marlins with Giancarlo Stanton?

The NFL hasn't done this yet. But I'm sure it's coming. These are the people behind the practice of personal seat licenses.

Just like Crash Davis. [media=youtube]TBUS3vQtDCA?feature=shared[/media]

Absolutely, reject it. It looks to me like someone is trying to use your site to settle a score. I don't believe that's your intent for the memories forum.

Done in by hit batters, wild pitches, and bloop hits. We'll get ‘em tomorrow.

I worry about the seven games with the Phillies.

Little help from the Phils would be nice.

Lindor is amazing.

Phillies are not exactly helping us out tonight.
