MLB 2018 regular season thread

Dodgers, you are embarrashing. You should not celebrate clinching a one game playoff to get into the postseason.

Vigorously shaking up champagne and beer bottles and spraying them into teammates mouths, bodies and heads. Yabba dabba doo, there is an intersection between locker room and homosexual culture. :eek:

Yankees won today to join the Red Sox and Astros as 100-game winners. It's the first time in MLB history that there have been three 100-win teams in the same league.
The Yankees will also be the first team since the 2001 A's to win 100 games and not win their division.
 
The record you cite is not a tribute to the entertainment value of the American League in 2018.

Not coincidentally, perhaps, this is the first time since 2012 (Cubs and Astros) that two teams in the same league have lost 100 games.
And I haven't had time to hunt it down, but this could also be the first time we've had three 100-loss teams in the same league in the same season. The White Sox are on the brink of No. 99 and will go into the final day of the season with a chance to finish not so strong.

EDIT: After doing some checking on Baseball Reference, this would be the first time since 2002 and third time since divisional play started in 1969 that there have been three 100-loss teams in one season. It also happened in 1985 and 2002.
There were actually four 100-loss teams in 2002 (Rays, Tigers, Brewers and Royals).
