Today’s word of the day is ‘shocking’ as in ironic as in unsurprising as in the Yankees as in the Rays. New York, New York is out of the postseason again. This time it’s the divisional rival Rays sending them home. And the postgame pressers did not disappoint. Aaron Judge calling out the front office? Jazz calling out the fans? Boone talking about his job! The Dodgers are back in the NLCS. The Braves stood no chance. They didn’t. Especially with Matt Olson, Ronald Acuna, and Austin Riley just being bad. The Brewers are headed back to rematch with the Dodgers. The Padres and the fire power go home again. The Guardians got a win! Jose Ramirez is alive! NPPOD. A memo went out to all MLB teams from the league office about the lockout. It was a rules checklist of things teams are permitted to not do. Uh oh. Let’s talk about MLB media. Commissioner Rob Manfred spoke on the future of broadcasting. The Rockies owner met the media to discuss ticket prices. And guess what? Ticket prices are going up! Review: Coyote vs Acme. Rays ownership gave money to politicians. That’s just a Tuesday! Let me explain! More on Man City here. Politics and sports continue to mix! Our favorite golf tour is back in the news. It’s LIV Golf!
