There's no obvious reason why a 25-year-old would be an especially big baseball fan; there's no reason, having seen baseball ruin rather than protect the reputations of its best players,

see: Bonds, Barry

the Giants of my youth were packed with african americans.....mays. mccovey, bonds sr., maddox, matthews, jim ray hart.....there are no african americans on the present team and really haven't been any of note in the past 25 years, save for Barry and kevin mitchell (a beast!)

length of games could be easily fixed (see olbermann, above) but MLB doesn't really want that. I dont think manfred will be much better than bud.

there is not one black guy on the giants right now??? jesus...

black, but not american black.

and my point about bonds.....even before the steroid stuff, the media shit on him just cuz he didn't kiss their asses....couldn't have made a whole lot of black kids want to join that fraternity.

Mike trout is 22 yrs old. His lack of popularity would be an issue if he was 30

Non-issue. People are not smart

Baseball is too slow -- I love it and have the extra innings, watch pieces of games every night and always watch some of my favorite team. Serious minority though, I dont know many people that are way into it. Quickly getting "hockey-relevant" vs Football. All many seem to care about now is football -- and I love football but have to give the love to MLB and NHL as well.

Hope I'm wrong, but that HBP may have just ended Stanton's MVP chances...

i hope it doesn't end his career

That is some bullshit for Stanton. Frigging crappy Brewers.

Hopefully he can get his face slid off, fix his skull, and slide his face back on like they did with Aroldis Chapman.

Two players got drilled in the face in a span of 10 minutes last night. Pretty bizarre

thank god the fucking d**gers didn't want him (or pedro).

I didn't know paulie was retiring. It hasn't been quite as well publicized as jeter

Congrats to the Royals for making the playoffs for the first time since '85 :-O

Should be an interesting playoff race. Lot of teams that usually don't make it (Royals, Pirates, Orioles, Nationals)

Wobbie

pretty interesting final day for six teams....

I need a pirates/cardinals tie!

What a catch for the final out of Zimmerman's no hitter.

Pulling for the Angels....want Trout to seize the attention and show what he can do.
Rooting against the Cards....cause I loathe them

pjhawks

while i think the wild cards are great to have i still say playing one game is stupid. sucks Kansas City makes their 1st playoffs in forever and could get one quick game and that's it. make it a 3-game series.

for the World Series I'm going with Detroit over Washington.

I kind of think Detroit is laying in the weeds and not a lot of people are talking about them.

they are less despicable than the d**gers, so they can lose in the NLCS.

As a Reds fan I dont care for either of those teams but despise the Cards more.

i agree 100%. should be a 3 game series and not one game for the wild card.

And small ball in the 3rd inning. Good god

We have a Rusty Kuntz sighting )

Lester's stellar ERA is going up.

eeriepadave

good game so far. Part of me wants the Royals to win.

Cliffy6745

I want the royals to win. I know Yankees fans are supposed to hate them and all but I am too young for all that

THAT Viagra commercial was hard to ignore :fp:
