Marcel Ozuna was supposed to be gold glover but I sure haven't seen signs of it this year.

Really tired arms and bodies from playing into November!  World Series hangover?

Yeah, it's killing them. They're on pace for 107 wins. Their run differential win pace is 116.

The Astros winning 12 games in a row is impressive, all but 1 of those games have been against teams with a 121-169 (.417) record.

Hunter Strickland punched a door, broke his pitching hand, out eight weeks. There’s some mental midgetry right there.

No joke.  No wonder the guy's never been trusted to close for them even with the type of stuff he has.

Rays end the Astros' 12-game streak with a late run off Hector Rondon who had been terrific this year.

Verlander K'd 10 and now has a 1.60 ERA and 0.78 WHIP through 16 starts.

My fantasy team has probably been the healthiest it's ever been since I entered the BBFL, which only meant that it was a mere question of time before I started getting a run of injuries like this.

Molina has hit two homers off Arrieta today, the last tying the game in the 6th.

The Cardinals are having a bad injury day.

Derrick Goold @dgoold
Jose Martinez has hurt his wrist attempting that tag. He's crumpled. #stlcards

Martinez apparently wasn't hurt too bad, though. He just singled to lead off the top of the 8th.
