If Giles blows this one, Fredi can feel especially vindicated.

Congrats to McCann on his first LCS appearance.

A sneaky underrated issue with Kimbrel is while when he has his command, he's very dominant, he doesn't keep his command when he throws a lot of pitches. He's not a guy you can confidently throw out there for a 6 out save, unlike a Chapman.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

Dusty Baker will leave his starters in for 130 pitches in the regular season and then pulls Scherzer after 98 pitches when he's given up only one hit. I'd be furious if I was a Nats fan.
Burn, Zombie Expos, burn.
For this series, Go Cubs Go!
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Small but significant chance the Braves win a playoff series before the Nats do.
If the Indians end up blowing this series, I'm gonna be pissed.
The DBacks never deserve to win a championship as long as they wear those uniforms.

I'm fine with either the Yankees or Indians. My reflexive disdain for the Yankees subsided with the passing of George Steinbrenner. I've always thought Cashman was a decent GM (who of course has a ton of money to play with). He and Girardi have kind of changed the mindset out there. They aren't the bloated mess they characteristically were when George was meddling.
