When CC Sabathia, Jorge Posada and Anthony Rizzo are all slamming the Yankees culture and separating themselves from it... maybe the fans aren't the dumb ones anymore?
Jorge Posada was asked if he thinks he could improve the Yankees "unacceptable" behaviors by bringing his fiery attitude and baseball instincts around the current team:
"I could, but I don't think they want me there. I don't feel welcome when I go there. Even in Spring Training... So I don't go."

This morning, I asked Keith Siegel what it meant to him to cast his ballot today. He answered:
โTo me, voting is about freedom, responsibility and hope for the future of our country. After spending 484 days in captivity in Gaza, being free and having the right to vote carries a deeper meaning for me. Freedom is not something I take for granted. It means having a voice, being able to make choices, and having a say in the future of our country. I believe our leaders must prioritize human life, dignity, peace, and security. When I vote, I am exercising a right that I deeply value and expressing my hope that our children, grandchildren and future generations will live in a country where freedom, democracy and humanity prevail.โ
Could be the last baseball game for a WHILE tonight. Long winter of labor talks ahead. The kind of thing that can sap the joy and wonder out of our beautiful sport.
Enjoy this while we have it. Baseball is the best sport in the world and we are watching it in its best form right now. Come January you'll be wishing you had it back.
Massive win for baseball that these were the World Series Game 1 numbers even in a small market matchup.
Lots of MLB's recent growth can be attributed to Ohtani, but it goes well beyond that. The sport is simply in an amazing spot right now, and the general public has caught on.
No signs of a โsmall-marketโ World Series โพ
Preliminary numbers show Rays-Brewers Game 1 drew a combined 12.2 million viewers across Fox and Univision on Friday night, sources tell SBJ.

It's really crazy how consistently good the Brewers are despite all the guys they've let leave.
How many MLB teams could replace Corbin Burnes, Devin Williams, Josh Hader, Freddy Peralta and Willy Adames- mostly internally- and still win their division every year?
Brandon Woodruff, the longest-tenured Brewer, was thought to be out for the season after suffering a right shoulder injury on July 4
Now he's on the mound to close it out as Milwaukee looks to go up 3-0 in the World Series
It's AMAZING for baseball to see that a small market team can not only win a World Series, but can BLUDGEON their way to one. Bloodbath after bloodbath from a team built on a handful of studs as well as plenty of well-scouted and well-developed supplementary pieces.
The big market teams are not inevitable. They never have been. The Dodgers were MLB's first back-to-back World Series winner in 25 years. There IS hope for your team as long as their ownership and front office are committed.
At the end of the day, the Brewers are just a way better baseball team than the Rays. Which is fitting in a year that the National League was eons ahead of the American League. A sweep would feel pretty appropriate.
Roofs like these should not be a thing we all simply accept as a thing baseball teams and fans have to deal with. Especially in the World Series. Especially when the roof is baseball colored.
As much as I want the Brewers to win, the thought that tomorrow night could be the last baseball game until who knows when is sending my mind to some dark places
Jonathan Aranda is not in the Rays' World Series Game 3 lineup. It's the first time Aranda has been benched all postseason, despite having reached base in five of his eight World Series plate appearances
