MLB 2018: The Yankees buy a championship off of Amazon

WS: NYY over WSH

NL MVP: Altuve
AL MVP: Stanton
NL CY: Kershaw
AL CY: Sale

Every big spending club in baseball makes the postseason. All of them. This is the year of no surprises.
NL 2nd wild card may be a surprise, but they won't do anything. Its a 3 team contest and that's being generous. Boston and NY. Cleveland. Houston and the Angels. Locks. Dodgers, Cubs, Nationals. Locks. The only surprise in 2018 is that the Nationals win 2 playoff series before crumbling, instead of crumbling first.

David Eckstein fake bunt to HR is still one of my favorites

the odds of teams like the Padres making the WS are 500-1

Looking forward to Chris Davis striking out looking on 3 pitches a dozen or more times.

Swag on 100.
Many teams have spent a ton and still lost. We downgraded at 2nd base and downgraded at 3rd base so it's not like we're much better. Also I don't see Judge putting up 52 HRs again. We'll see.

As the ole lady and I were headed out of Atl yesterday, I said we should've went to the Braves game and she said turn around if you want to go. Traffic was extremely ****ty so I went on home.

Would've been a good game to go to. Braves rally back to tie in the 8th and Markakis hits a walk off... fml

hedge is mad because the Twins got a dominant start from Odorizzi and then blew it because they have some off-brand Dollar Tree closer.

When the announcers said "Minnesota is bringing in their new closer, 41 year old Fernando Rodney" I smugly said to wifey "We got this ****."

Nobody better huh? Nobody else out there but the geriatric journeyman known for blowing saves? How you gonna be a wild card team and run out and sign that dude? Did you ask around about Jim Johnson but then decide he was too young and reliable?

odorizzi looked good for sure, really had the O's looking bad for 6 innings

bundy got himself off to a stellar start

To be fair, Davis and Alvarez looking bad is par. I understand Trumbo is hurt. I know Alvarez is a lefty bad in a RH heavy lineup. But he ain't ****.

baseball is still pitcher's game especially in playoffs. Adding stanton helps, but he is not the deciding factor. This is not basketball.

Only surprise for me was Schoop going 0-5 with 2 Ks and a hideous GIDP with the bases loaded and one out (in extra innings to boot)

I know Schoop is good, but I don't know if he's 2017 Schoop good. Last year may have been a statistical high point for him. We'll see. The pessimist in me says he's a .265/23/70 guy, certainly decent but not what we saw last year.

I don’t even know who is on the team besides a few key players. They have an awful owner and they aren’t even trying to put out a good product.
