The other sports thread

Neighbor's rooster is a poor cockfighter. He pecked at one of my dogs along the fence line and my boy showed him what time it was real *****in quick.

They have until Monday to get rid of both hens and the rooster or it's a $1000 fine per animal per day.

They got the brooms out in the Bronx yesterday.

Best result possible for the Jays, except the Sox beat the Rays on Sunday.

1/2 game out to the Yankees with a game in hand.  1.5 games back of the Sox, with 3 in hand.  The Jays are in control of their own destiny.

Good.  I hope they get it done.

Pretty remarkable season for the Jays no matter how it goes down  - having to call 3 separate ball parks your Home through the course of a single season is certainly a unique challenge

[Thorner]

The Jays have actually had a rather "unlucky"' season, too - looking at run differential

The two teams directly ahead of the Jays for the wildcard, and the team directly below, run differential:

Red Sox - +53

Yankees - +34

Oakland - +59

 

Blue Jays - +145

Jays have the 5th best run differential in the MLB

- Their "expected" win/loss record is 84-55 (currently in actuality 77-62)

In other news, the Bucs beat Jerry's Kids last night.

If a rookie QB has to show a veteran how to do things, then the veteran might as well call it a career.

First Take is the worst sports show on television. The entire purpose of it is to piss off viewers enough to engage with it.

Not a great time for Robbie Ray to get smacked if he’s trying to win the Cy Young. Gave up 8 hits and 3 runs to a bad Orioles team. Going to be an interesting finish to that race. Feels like Gerrit Cole probably still leads because he’s a Yankee and that carries wait for some stupid reason. Lance Lynn could also take it - he just returned from the IL.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Ray didn’t have it tonight. It happens.

The good news is that both the Yankees and Red Sox lost too.

[Thorner]

What a comeback.

I love baseball so much.

I love Ohio state losing!

Today is the day that it should be called the Power Four, if we're going to continue the stupid distinction among D-IA conferences:  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10012128-cincinnati-houston-byu-ucf-accept-invites-to-join-big-12?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

As of right this very minute the Jays are in the second WC position.

And I’m not talking about this WC 🚽 

They took 2 from Baltimore. Both the Yankees and Red Sox won. 

The Yankees actually have a game in hand now and the Jays have 2 on the dastardly Sox.

Won both games in their last at bat.

Game 2 was not the 11 - 2 laugher that it appears to be.

Jays now sit 2nd in AL East. Vladdy tied Ohtani for home runs today and moved closer to that Triple Crown, too

[Hoss]

Max Scherzer has been otherworldly with the Dodgers.

In his eight starts the team is 8-0 (he sports a 6-0 record in those games). He has 72 strikeouts in those games (averaging 9 per game). He hasn’t given up an earned run in his last four starts and has 41 strikeouts in that span. He has just 5 walks in 8 starts which happens to be the same number of earned runs he’s given up total.

Not to mention they scored 22 runs today and 47 over the 4 game series. And they only scored 3 in the first game.

Bring on the Rays!!

Vladdy blasts his MLB-leading 45th HR - and surpasses his Dad’s highest career total in one season (44)

And the Jays win big. NY lost. Red Sox behind at last check.

Hottest of the hot takes for some time…

The Jays catch and pass the Rays. Yup.
