MLB 2018 regular season thread

Didn't realize it but for the first time in my lifetime, the AL has more wins in the All-Star game than the NL.

 

A thing I forgot happened and still blows my mind that I was reminded of today: Pat Borders was a World Series MVP.

 

As were Jermaine Dye and David Eckstein, and in earlier years Donn Clendenon, Gene Tenace and Bucky Dent, to name a few. Sometimes an ordinary player rises to the occasion during a best-of-7 series.

 

Verlander found his muse:

Justin Verlander resurgence due to Kate Upton

 

Wait until he gives her the Chris Evert treatment like Norman administered (he's a zero in my book for that charade).

 

Verlander going for 200th win, starts by giving up leadoff homer to Haniger and triple to Span.

And now a double.

M's a single away from starting the game with a reverse cycle.

 

And there's the cycle to start the game.

Has that ever happened?

 

Jermaine Dye isn't a Hall of Famer or anything, but he had a nice career. I wouldn't lump him in with Pat Borders.

 

Kate should have paid Justin a mound visit tonight.

 

The rule allows six mound visits, so it would have been OK.

 

He'll get one when they get home.

 

Probably got some tips from a GQ article.
