Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images The last game of the season is a signal to put on my snow tires. My car has ‘performance tires’, which don’t work at all on ice or snow. I’m sure they would be great on a race track, but I don’t often drive on race tracks. It starts at 3:00 Eastern. Over in the Sun, Rob Longley talked to Kevin Gausman, who says, “I’m sick of the … [Read more...] about Game #162 GameThread: Season’s End
Game #161 GameThread: Marlins @ Jays
Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images I am glad I missed most of yesterday’s game. I had a fun night at a ‘Men’s Night Out’ charity night—maybe too much fun.

At least they weren’t crushed as badly as yesterday. At least they kept it to a one-possession game today, after the two-possession game yesterday. Maybe they could stay within a field goal tomorrow. We scored just … [Read more...] about Jays Get Crushed By Marlins Again
Marlins Spear Jays, 15-5
Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Hey, a guy hit three triples in a game. That’s cool, right? You don’t see that every day. I’m glad the season’s almost over. Jose Berrios had an awful night, and the Marlins jumped on it right away. Connor Norby reached on a one out single in the first and came around on a Jesus Sanchez single to put Miami up 1-0, and Jonah Bride followed … [Read more...] about Marlins Spear Jays, 15-5
