It's like you can't not pick the most offensive-looking image possible.......ffs
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the new Brewer's logo either. I couldn't find a bracket with the old baseball glove logo, but would have searched harder if I knew that their current logo bugged you so much.

The way the Rockies kept getting hosed, I figured they weren't going to overturn the HBP, and allow that sprinter masquerading as a baseball player to stay on base.

I forgot Joe Maddon is always the smartest man in the room, and took out his starter who was grooving to use a pinch hitter to lead off the 6th in a 1 run game, and had to start pulling guys out of the rotation to make first career relief appearances in the 12th.

Hard to believe some whispers about pushing out Maddon.

Theo suggested he's return for his 5th yr, final on his K.   It is rare for clubs to keep a skipper hanging w/o at least a one yr extension.  Will be interesting hot stove for CHI NL.

Wow, crappy break for Brewers.  RBI single hit the baserunner for an inning ending out instead.

I guess life trends towards equalibrium with a run scoring balk.

I've seen a balk when the pitcher drops the ball, while on the rubber, but not quite like that.  That was pretty careless, definitely an own goal situation.

Dodgers should be favorite over Brewers.  We'll see how they orchestrate their mediocre SP and elite RP.
