Crazy that there will be two one Game playoffs tomorrow in the NL...and it could leave Cubs/Dodgers in the WC game.

Welp, no crown but a damn impressive second half of the season to put himself into position to do so! It’s fair to say after the month of September and propelling his team, especially in the last two weeks, to a Division title I have to concede my MVP vote to him now. Baez wasn’t much of a factor down the stretch when the Cubs needed him to be. The V in MVP has always held more ground with me than just the stat column alone. When the Brewers needed a late push, Yelich was there to provide it while Baez wasn’t for the Cubs. That’s what an MVP does, he shows up when needed most. Yelich did, Baez didn’t. He was the x-factor the Brewers needed to build upon last year’s success and get them over the hump. Yelich is MVP.

One of the best things I've done recently is turn off twitter notifications from Buster fucking Olney. That little dude is RELENTLESS.

Buster Olney vs. Tim Ksjurehrhfjhsgsgasjian cage match would be great

It's about that time for Jeff Passan's annual article on why Trout should get MVP.

Honest question: Why do most managers still wear team uniforms when it's not required by MLB rule?

On one of the 13 year olds' teams his manager wears a uni.

I laugh.

Cliffy6745

I thought it was required. I feel like a while back the Yankees busted Francona's balls for not having a jersey on under his hoodie.

I didn't even claim my postseason tickets this year. I just have a feeling it's going to be a mess.

Great season, though.

I do recall a Mr Cornelius Mcghilicoughdy ( that's Connie Mack) not wearing one when other managers did.  

Without reading the article I believe managers were also players back in the day so they wore the uniforms still?

Yeah, the article mentioned Mack and one other guy of the same era that wore suits as managers. After they retired, all you saw was managers in uniform. Article went on to say that managers wearing uniforms is a holdover from the player/coach where they had to wear a uniform.
