Sorry, dude. Red Sox fan here. Can the momentum last? I don't know. But it's gonna be fun watching.

Yesterday was a very Boston sports day. Re-scheduled Boston marathon and a post-season game at Fenway to move on to the ALCS.

Houston makes their fifth straight ALCS after drubbing the White Sox 10-1.

And now I have to root for the Red Sox because I detest the Asterisks even more.

Go National League!tongue

Fuck, how do you expect me to work in these conditions? Can they both lose somehow?

Well, I guess there could be a covid outbreak and they cancel the whole series. But anything short of that would be nice.

[up]If God was good, a meteor would have taken out Boston and Houston.

I guess I'm a temporary Braves fan, I'd root for the goddamn Yankees if they were up against the Houston *

I actually hope the Astros win because I think their fans deserve a "legitimate" title.

1-1 all, but the big news today is longtime A's manager Bob Melvin is now going to San Diego.

I for one thought Mel was retiring in Oakland. I'm shocked.

Second straight year the World Series winner was scheduled to host the All-Star Game but didn't(last WS winner to actually host the ASG was the 1977 Yankees).

Disappointing, but not particularly surprising. They didn't seem close, especially on key issues like service time and all that nonsense.

(Meanwhile, could my Sox please have done something other than sign decent squad fillers?)

Radio news suggests the only thing both sides agree upon is implementing universal DH. Which is a shame, from my personal perspective — rather liked seeing the likes of Jacob deGrom, Madison Bumgarner, and Bartolo Colon at the plate.

MLBPA rejects "best and final" offer from owners. Deadline has now passed for regular season games to be canceled (they were extended from yesterday after a marathon negotiation session that went to 2:30 AM), and Manfred said previously games lost to lockout will not be made up.

Update: first two series have been canned. From the looks of things, it might be a miracle for the season to start by Memorial Day.

The owners and Player's Association have reached an agreement.

Question: did they announce how they were going to make up the first week of games that got canned because of the lockout?

Congratulations to Sean Murphy for bringing new interest to the sport.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
