Not a Mets fan  (go Cubbies!)  but I feel bad for Showalter, he's a real baseball guy.

He’s getting tons of crap but literally has like ten core players drastically underperforming this year.  Only so much you can do.

Meh. A LOT of this is on him. He has made a bunch of absolutley mind boggling decisions with the lineup and pitching staff this year. He often has fans, the press and even the TV analyists (Hernandez and Darling) baffled as to what he is doing.

Literally every regular is anywhere from 30 to almost 100 points UNDER their hitting averages from last year. Its insane how bad its been. Yeah, yeah....Lindor and Alonso's total offensive production has been there. But still...thats a BIG dropoff. Even with Alonso, he used to be good for lots of singles and doubles, along with the power and the "small ball" part of his game is now just...gone. And when the entire team is underperforming, the manager and his coaches have to bear some responsibility for that.

It is almost unbelievable that they won 101 games last year.

BALTIMORE -- Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson, whose deft glovework and folksy manner made him one of the most beloved and accomplished athletes in Baltimore history, has died. He was 86.

"We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson," his family and the Baltimore Orioles said in a joint statement. "An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of baseball."

Well, Thunderdome or whatever the #### they call it is a pretty small building.  Can't really expect them to squeeze a full 20k into it.

What a terrible way to end what started off as a  very special season.  I thought I misread the capacity of the new stadium when it said "30k".  At least it won't look as empty.

Perhaps the Bills can use the security guard at LB with Milano out.

Yeah, sucks they couldn’t keep it going at home.  Astros are such a tough team.

I feel like Texas is better and younger than Houston but they have a brutal back end of their bullpen.
