Will always be greatful to Pittsburgh for it's contribution to Baltimore's glory years with the Colts, the REAL Baltimore football team and champions. Pittsburgh cut Johnny Unitas, Baltimore got him, and the rest is NFL history. I can live with that. -- Al

Oh well, better luck next year. O's Sp picked the wrong time to implode, which I was waiting for all season. Great year, though. Will be right back at it for a while, too, considering how young they are in key positions. Now, add a SP or two and we will get that WS title. -- Al

Great game but a tough loss for Philly as they were just a few outs from a 2-0 lead. Harper was a tad too agressive that time but he would have tied the game had the ball fallen in. We'll see how they bounce back. -- Al

If the Ravens could catch the ball, they win. Let's send the receivers a bottle of glue for their hands. Lamar wasn't great, but he had no help. A team loss, no excuses. -- Al

The KC figures are slightly larger in overall proportions than JJD. KC matches up very well TGM WW1 French, while I find JJD matches up very well with the FL WW1 French. En masse, they will all mix decently well, in isolation, the size difference will show. -- Al

Ain't that the truth. Bad couple of days in Md. At least the USNA won. -- Al

I'm afraid we got treated to a few O's pitchers that weren't ready for prime time. Throw strikes or find another job. -- Al

After 10 years, a translation appears for French author Jean-Michel Steg's book "Death in the Ardennes: 22nd August, 1914, France's Deadliest Day". Been waiting ever since it appeared in 2013. As the title says, it is about the opening Battle of the Frontiers in WW1, specifically the fight for...

Burned again as only 1 of the 4 games went the way I guessed, with only the Astros winning. My O's lose, Kershaw got ambushed, and The Braves pulled a big zero. Huge Game 2 for the O's. Down 2-0 is DOA. Really like the way Philly is going, being led by the Philly Nats mafia. -- Al

NFL HoFer LB Dick Butkus has passed away. RIP, #51. -- Al

Once again it has been driven home to me why I don't bet sports. 4 series and I only picked the Philly series correctly. Never expected that the Rays, Blue Jays, and Brewers would all be swept out, or even just lose. Figured the Phils to sweep but the rest surprised me. -- Al

Watched parts of the different games and was impressed with the large and enthusiastic crowds, with the notable exception of the Tampa Bay game. Tampa was only able to draw 19,000 to the stadium. Large areas of empty seats. Tampa does nothing but win and still can't draw fans. -- Al

Great to hear. It has been years since I have been able to visit any of them. In fact, last time I was in Gettysburg, the 'new' visitors center had just opened up. Hard to believe it was so long ago. The Park Service has done a tremendous job with the battlefields and everyone who has the chance...

Showalter out in NY. A bit of a shock after being MoY in 22. -- Al

Sorry to hear this. Wakefield was a great Red Sox and a great knucklball pitcher. RIP. -- Al

Chris, that certainly sucks. Any idea why? Such a huge part of the park and tour. My favorire area, especially since they cleaned out the undergrowth many years back. Beautiful views and very peaceful, ironically enough. Closing LRT really guts the whole park experience. -- Al

Thanks, Brad. Been a long wait to get back in the hunt, win or lose. -- Al

I could live with an I-95 WS. After all, Philly and B-mer are kissing cousins. -- Al

Thanks, Mark. Congrats on the Phillies getting in. IMO, it's going to be tough for anyone to get past the Braves. Their line-up is almost unprecedented in their offensive capabilities. Going to be a really interesting playoffs. Good luck to your boys. -- Al
