The AL West is like a piece from that classic Alec Baldwin soliloquy in Glengarry Glen Ross:

Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is ... you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now?

Some geniuses wanted to fire Craig Counsell, the best damn manager in the game

Correct.

Brant Brown to Steve Bartman to Seiya Suzuki ought to cause Cubs fans to forget about Tinkers to Evers to Chance.

Forgot Don Young to Leon Durham...

I appreciate Acura's accomplishment with his 70th stolen base, but that was a really odd time though to stop and celebrate the accomplishment there in the bottom of the 10th.

Brewers bring back Garrett Mitchell and DFA Brian Anderson whose tenure in Milwaukee is one of the weirdest I can recall

Yeah though he really fell off after a hot start to the year. With Monestario and Donaldson, there just isn't room for him.  I doubt Mitchell plays much, but he could be a pinch runner at times.

To be honest, it slowed the game down and let the Cubs think and dwell on the moment more.  Actually brilliant gamesmanship   :-\

The Mets and MLB really bending over the Marlins hard.

Pretty brutal delay.

At least they suspended it finally at 2-1 and itll only be played if necessary. Sucks for marlins if they do have to travel back to New York monday just to play less than 6 total outs to fly to milwaukee for Tuesday.

Will only matter if Cubs gain 1 game on the Marlins over the final 3 this weekend. M's have tiebreak so if both teams do the same this weekend and Marlins hold their half game lead the game is irrelevant.

Cubbie collapse is complete. Pretty amazing even for them.

They blew what should have been their playoff spot, but as Cubs collapses go historically, this year was not a top two or three performance.  Although whiffing on a routine fly ball will help everyone remember it easier.

I know they had a big run differential, but I think they were always a paper tiger. They are tied for second to last in the NL in wins against against teams with winning records (only beating Colorado). Yesterday, they were alone in second to last but San Diego just crept over .500 and that gained them 4 more wins. Their record and run differential comes from blowing out crappy teams. They struggled against even average teams.

Funny enough, the Brewers are the only NL team above ,.500 that the Cubs don't have a losing record against (6-6) and may get into winning record territory todaty. Of course they faced the Brewers B-team in the final three games.

Might not have been a classic, but it was at least "Classic Lite."

If this Twins team doesnt win a damn playoff game. They never will again.

This team is sneakily very good. Most well rounded team since 2006.

Still would like to avoid Astros though

Wait, what? I stopped maying attention after I heard Counsell should be fired and the offense still sucks and the season was over when they lost the first game of the season to the Cubs 4-0.
