He's as cringe worthy as Hawk Harrelson ever was.
Hawk was the worst, but awake.

I don't remember the last time I listened to him, but Mike Shannon sounded old at least a decade ago

Frank Thomas just bought the Field of Dreams. He intends to construct 8-12 ball fields where 13-16 year olds can play. Wants to bring sewer and water to the site working with local officials, so a permanent stadium can be built. In 2020, the mayor of Dyersville told me that without sewer and water, they are not allowed to have a permanent stadium at that site, so when the game was canceled in 2020, they tore down the temporary stands, and then re-erected them in 2021.

I hope the Big Hurt has the good sense to make it the White Sox second home field. He seems like a sensible guy.

May be an image of 1 person, playing a sport and text that says 'Shohei Ohtani's 2021 season on the mound: Mano 9-2 RECORD 3.18 ERA UT 156 STRIKEOUTS 44 BB 130 1/3 IP'

I like the Brewers in five and SF to beat them in the NLCS in 6.

Going to ALDS game 1 maybe,  game 2 certainly in Houston.  Will pull for Sox.  Then Bama @A&M Saturday. 

 Don't know why MLB hasn't set TV times yet for Thursday Friday.   No mystery IMO.  Either Brewers or Astros will be early game or second game of day.   Obvious that Bos/Nyy winner will play in 3rd time slot with Giants late game.   Pick already.!

Same here.  If it was Boston/NY vs. Toronto in the WC, then I'd get it.  You want that to be the primetime game if there's a chance Boston or NY won, but wanted Chicago-Houston in the prime time slot if it were Tampa-Toronto.  In this case who cares?

That said, they went ahead and announced them this morning.

There's a reason I get less sleep in October than any other month during the year.

Helluva game for 9 innings.

Now in he NL, we'll have the 107 and 106 win teams playing each other and the 88 and 95 win teams playing.  
Idiocy.

That is a pretty common set up for playoffs, and will on occasion produce an odd pairing.
