The All-Star game is definitely later than usual. Not exactly sure why either. I'm not a fan of the All-Star game anyway.

Los Angeles Dodgers finally get over line and into playoffs.

I am shocked that World Series doesn't start until 23rd October, that is way later than I remember it used to be.

Typical Los Angeles Dodgers performance in Game 2 of NLCS, Kershaw gives up 1 run, gets no help from his batters, based loaded in 6th inning with 1 out, 2 strikeouts follow.

Looks like your Dodgers and my Tigers may end up struggling in our respective series'.

Yeah the second game of the series was crucial and we lost it. We are at last chance saloon having to win 3 straight and 2 in St Louis which is going to be very difficult

You gonna be watching game 5 tonight ? Think it starts just after 9pm our time. Zack Greinke pitching for you guys so you have a shot.

yeah we got ourselves to 6-2 with 7 strong innings by Zack but got a little shaky top of 9th before seeing it out 6-4. So need two wins in St Louis to make World Series with Kershaw and Ryu likely to start game 6 and 7 if necessary. Good win to even up ALCS series by your Detroit Tigers last night, big 5 run 2nd Inning to add to 2 in 4th Inning to go 7-0 up before Boston got 1 in 6,7 and 9 innings to make it 7-3 final score. Game 5 will be crucial for Detroit as like Dodgers it will be hard for Detroit to have to win 2 games in Boston to win series

What an utter disaster for my Dodgers, in 3rd Inning, Puig made an error when instead of throwing to second base he made a wild throw to the plate which prevented us from tagging Beltran out or stopping him getting to second base which allowed St Louis to get 4 runs when they should only have got 1. Game was beyond us from that point. So as Dodgers bow out I wish the Detroit Tigers the best in game 6 and hopefully game 7 of their series with Boston.

Yeah, wasn't pretty last night. I was hoping LA would advance as I HATE St Louis; Those fuckers always seem to get the job done and win. Gonna be a horribly nervy night for Detroit later- especially if Tori Hunter & Prince 'Fatboy'Fielder keep hitting like amateurs. Fingers crossed we can take it to Game 7 tomorrow.

Oh well, there's always next year. 'twas an absolutely nailbiting series between the Tigers & the Red Sox, but we were just so poor with our bats. Not to mention our lame bullpen.

So then there were two: St Louis and Boston. Horrible choice to make, but I'd rather Boston win.
