As far as I'm concerned the baseball season ended a couple of days ago.

Doug Melvin Finalist for the Met's GM. What has he been up too these days?

Rocco Baldelli was hired as the Twins manager. I remember when he was a highly-touted prospect for the Rays. Damn, I'm getting old.

I watched about an inning of game 1 and none of game 2.

Alright I completely forgot about that. I thought he may be in a Ted Thompson like role with the Brewers. Good for him.

Hadn't watched a minute of the series turned this on on in the 5th... Want to see this go 20.

Boston had to burn through some arms only to lose last night. How crazy would it be if that Kinsler error turned the series?

About as perfect an ending as we could've asked for after game 7. Machado strikes out and looks like an asshole who has never played baseball before doing it.

Michado strikes out looking foolish to end it. Love it

Feel like the brewers would’ve at least put up a better fight, but credit to Boston for destroying their bullpen. Something we couldn’t come close to doing.

Yeah I'm usually not a sour grapes type with teams that knock my team out but Manny is a grade a dbag and I'll root against him the rest of his career.

I think Dodgers got a hell of a deal with Kershaw. 3 years $93 million. If he starts to decline after his contract, can always just part ways. They could have easily signed a 7 year deal and pay him $30 million when he is 38.

I guess he wanted to stay in LA but that seems like a bad deal for Kershaw. Surely he could've gotten more guaranteed long term money from somewhere else?

Kershaw will have made over 250 million dollars after this contract ends. I think he'll be fine.
