MLB wrap-up for Thursday, October 4

The Cubs are on the brink of losing their series. What a surprise. After giving up 8 runs last night, now the media can start ripping on the pitching staff. ONE HUN DRED!

The Indians pounded the Yankees last night, 12-3, in the first game of their series. The Yankees didn't have much working, clearly, but what does the anchor on ESPN News mention this morning? Of course, he says that A-Rod went 0-2 with 2 walks (as if he could have stopped the pitching staff from coughing up a dozen runs). He mentioned nothing about the Messiah (Jeter), who did even worse, going 0-4. Wait a second, I thought Jeter was one of the best players in playoff history. How could he go 0-4? You'd think the way the media gets down to suck his popsicle that he'd have gone 4-4 with 4 HR's and even pitched 5 scoreless innings to carry them to victory. That's what separates winners like him from chokers like A-Rod, right?

The Phillies-Rockies series is also about to end, with the Rox up 2-0. I would have liked to see those poor slobs in Philly do well, but I have no animous towards Colorado, either. It's a fun series to watch.
