Rangers beat Blue Jays in Toronto. Price loses his sixth post-season game (out of six games).  Blue Jays face Cole Hamels tomorrow.

Big injuries in the Rangers-Blue Jays game: Donaldson & Bautista for the Blue Jays and Beltre for the Rangers.  Here's hoping the Cubs avoid any of that.

Price with 9 homers allowed in 47 career post-season innings.

Watching Fox Sports analysis of the Rangers-Blue Jays game, which include Pete Rose.  Not a good idea. Ethics issues aside, he is from another century. Couldn't believe that Donaldson and Batista (and I guess Beltre as well) couldn't keep playing.  Apparently considered them wimps or something.  Not going to get many insights from Rose.

Coupled with Harold Reynolds...you're right that's a brutal watch.   I was less than impressed with Sheffield and Dusty last night but Petey makes everything worthwhile. My favorite non-Maddux pitcher ever.

Reynolds is usually on the MLB Network with Greg Amundsen who completely turns me off.  Amundsen is always looking for controversy, something to ridicule, or a baseball tradition he has no respect for.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a segment of the population that likes that style.

Amundsen?

I thought it was Amsinger?

Probably autocorrected...

I'm still chuckling at Dontrelle and his David Byrne-looking suit, with extra colorful tie and pocket square...

Didn't you lose a bet? 

My name is Jes Beard and I know nothing.

Again, find the post where there was any agreement on the terms of the bet and share it.

You really enjoy making things up, don't you?

The better predictive stat is xFIP and Zimmermann is 4.15 to Lester's 3.30 including today's game.

We will see.  I will note you never responded to my proposed bet as to which one of those two will do better this year.  I'm still picking Jordan.

Sure I'll take Lester in this bet.  If I win you must end every post for 1 year with the phrase "I'm Jes Beard, I know nothing"  If you win, I'll end every post for 1 year with whatever phrase you want.

You are ignoring this user.
Now, for the criteria in determing the winner....

Seems to me we have a bet.

Cueto has really gone south.  What happened to him?  Hope we don't make a play for him.

My fault.  I acquired him in the fantasy league.  2 starts later and he's crap.  He should be good to go next year since I won't have him.

Weird having the Cubs in the playoffs, for lots of reasons.  (Like, 35 of my 41 years not being that way, for example.)  But it also makes me not know who to root for in other series.  For example, I would normally root for Toronto over Texas, but I think they are better than Texas (assuming the injuries aren't serious), and so if we are going to make it to the World Series (did I really just type that?), then I'd rather have Texas or Houston, than Toronto or KC.  But if it's going to be the Dodgers, Mets, or Cards (yuck, yuck, and YUCK), then I really want Toronto or KC there, both for increased chances of them winning, and way preferable players/cities/franchises/etc.
