Who’s your favorite pro baseball team?

You might have players from around the world, but the teams allowed to compete are limited to North American ones.
That's true.
It's a "Major League Baseball" (MLB) tournament, open to all league members.

Oh, the Cubbies will work their magic against your bullpen :crazy2:
The Dodgers are going to down faster than me on a Friday night at the ABS! :cheesy2:
But seriously, Kershaw is a beast. We have to tap into your bullpen early for the Cubbies to win Game 6. Thank god I don't live near Wrigleyville cause it will be a hot fucking mess when they win the pennant :cheers:
Booo!
That sucks!
Oh well…"shit happens."
GO CLEVELAND! >:D

And so you should, and I guess I deserve that bit of “salt” added to my “wound.”
Man–-talk about “going down in flames!”
Well, enjoy it…I know I would.

That was the most nerve wracking, gut wrenching, roller coaster of a game last night. So proud of the Cubs! Especially my husband, Ben
Zobrist (omg I wish right?).
Although would totally bang
Joe Maddon, David Ross and/or Jon Lester in a heartbeat.

Alright, alright, alright…
Go ahead and wave the flag.
That sucks!
I thought for sure after they tied it, that Cleveland was going to "wake" the Cubs up from that dream!
Booo…
We'll just have to "win for Vin" next year...besides, it's football season now! (LOL)…
GO CHIEFS! :cheers:

The Bears are beyond help if they keep clinging onto Cutler to be the savior of the team. :cheesy2: Oh well :crazy2: As long as I don't have to hear the words Tom Brady, NE Patriots, and Superbowl mentioned in the same sentence I am all good on football.
Now to catch up on Big 10/NCAA Women's VB now that baseball season is done :cheers:

Alright–the season half over--I’ve waited long enough to start chattering about my team–my Dodgers!
Yeah, Colorado and Arizona thought they’d be contenders in the NL West–until they played us right before the All Star break. Prior to that, it was pretty much us in 3rd place--behind those two battling over 1st place.
Things changing dramatically with us sweeping them in the final series of games before the break--they’re now more than 10 games behind us. The 2 sweeps--part of our league leading 13 sweeps so far this season.
Regarding that other team in the West, just across the bay from where I live–the team many thought would be the “best in the West”--well they picked up where they left off at the end of last season. They’re still on that record-breaking run going the wrong direction that they started right after last season’s All Star break, and they’re currently more than 30 games behind us.
As for the rest of the league--last season’s contenders and champs, and even this season’s Astros. Baseball’s best for practically the whole first half, until they too were passed by us--the only team with 60 wins going into the break--and now the only team currently in the 70’s with wins.
Fortunately, we didn’t do what the Giants did last season, and the gap between us and everybody else just keeps getting wider with this record-breaking season we’re having and the record-setting pace we’re on.
Go Dodgers! :cheers:

Dodgers Do It Again!
Sunday night’s win over our arch-rival capped off a series sweep of those Giants, our 14th sweep so far this season–and what a season!
Since our 10 and 12 start, we’ve gone 64 and 19--a .771 winning percentage. Currently at .705, we’re the only team in baseball in the sevens.
Not only was it the second come-from-behind win of this weekend’s series--it was the 31st of the season, and the 9th one of the “walk-off” variety!
Just as it’s been on this record-breaking run, it truly is a team effort from the veterans down to the rookies, and all the players in between--every game finding a different player “stepping up to the plate.”
That was surely the case Sunday night--on national TV no less--down a run in the bottom of the 11th…
The count is full for number 65, Kyle Farmer, and he delivers with the walk-off 2 run double. Only “called-up” Thursday, it was his “debut” and his very first at bat in the “bigs”…

Soon after, it was another “first” for the newest man on the roster, something a player might only experience at the end of his career (or never at all)–a “curtain call”--wow! :clap2:
