Atlanta has hit 48 homers so far this month! Wow...
Atlanta 3
Chicago 2

Atlanta took a 3-2 lead on an Ozzie Albies homer, no less.
Series now all even at 1-1
Cant wait to watch the rub tomorrow evening. Will prolly be another packed house at Wrigley.
Max Fried pitched well and got the win! Not easy to strike out 8 and even harder to do to a playoff team. 5.5 game lead on Philly!

Dodgers have the best record in baseball right now and seem to be hitting on all cylinders even though Seager, Hill and Freese or on the DL. They just plug in the next guy and he steps up....reminds me of the 2017 team that won 55 out of 60 or something like that. Just hope they don't PEAK too soon!

The Dodgers. Heck, this may be their year!
Those darn American League teams are hard to beat though.
Remember when Houston was an NL team?

Looks like it could very well be a classic NY vs LA World Series.
But, it could very well be a Milwaukee vs Houston Series too.
Just far too early to tell. How many times have we saw Division leaders fall apart in either August or September.

As long as both teams are healthy, a Yanks/Dodgers World Series certainly would be a great one to watch. I'd have no problem with that, especially if both teams continue to perform this way throughout the 2nd half of the season. They definitely would have earned the opportunity!

Gosh, can yall believe what MLB is thinking about doing with Tampa Bay?
Half the games in Tampa and half in Montreal?
Just get the Ray's out of Tampa and if Montreal wants to build a new stadium then fine. But, the Olympic stadium in Montreal sucks and the people of Tampa just will not support the Rays.
Why not maybe give the Carolinas a shot at an MLB team?
I know Atlanta prolly wouldnt like that, but its what's best for MLB, right?
That's a bad situation in Tampa though.

Fingers crossed! The ole' Astros of the 80's were fun to watch if only for the pitching. I use to imitate Jose Cruz's crazy batting style...still didn't help :D

Glad I got to watch Nolan Ryan pitch. I can still recall the look on the face of batters after he set them down.

Dodgers/Yanks would be good to see again. East vs. West. So much history, tradition and fandom from both sides and as a Dodgers fan I'd love some of the Yankees fan passion would rub off on the LA crowds.....the good stuff not the battery throwing stuff :D

I see they scored 14 against Houston.
That's great. They just need to stay on a roll.
Was glad to see Atlanta take the series from Chicago.
Dallas Keukel did a great job last night. He even got a hit himself.

The problem with the Yankees is that they always beat themselves. They can afford the greatest talent that money can buy and yet they don’t play as a team they play as individual superstars

I reckon your right if your counting after Jeter retired.
Before that, they did pretty dang good!
I'll never forget the Series where we went up 2-0, only to be swept after that. Then, the other time we faced the Yankees in the Series, they flat out swept us.
27 World Series Pennants.......wow.
The closest other team is St.Louis, with 11.
