Tough day in New York. The Yankees were eliminated. Theo Epstein and the Mutts agreed the “Miracle Worker” was a bad fit. Then Mayor de Blasio, a Red Sox fan, hinted at making a run for governor. “I’m sick to my stomach.” Me too, Gerrit Cole. … But hey we’re 4-0 in Thursday night football. Go Rams!

Game 1 between the White Sox and Astros. The Sox won the Central handily. They faced no pressure. The Indians, Tigers, Royals and Twins all finished with losing records. Lance Lynn (11-6, postseason 5-4) won just one game in his past seven starts and allowed the Tribe to score six runs in his last road start. Chicago went 40-41 on the road. The Astros won the West by putting the A’s away then holding off the fast-closing Mariners. Lance McCullers Jr. (13-5, postseason 1-2) lost just one game in his past seven starts and beat Tampa Bay in his last home game. Taking the Astros for 20 units.

Well the Cards gave us our money’s worth. But Chris Taylor’s two-run walk off jack ended the Red Birds season. L.A. wins 3-1. Down -750 cacciatorres.
