In a beautiful twist, the Nationals announced that chef and humanitarian Jose Andres will throw out the first pitch at game 5 (if necessary) and that although Donald Trump has said he will attend Game 5, he was not asked to throw out the first pitch.

Sure, but how many rolls of paper towels did he throw them?

Not this president. In a sport where a huge percentage of the players are latinos there is no justification whatsoever for having a president that openly calls for shutting down their immigration (legal and illegal), and illegally separates children from their parents and puts them in concentration camps.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why the Astros dug a giant PR hole for themselves.

So basically you are Adam Gasing this playoffs

This right here. Smoltz fucking sucks and not enough people talk about it. He actually makes me miss Tim McCarver, and no one should ever feel that way.

On the plus side. The Nationals are kicking the shit out of all the scumbags of MLB so that’s a win

Or the guy who said the guy they fired was a good guy just defending another guy by yelling at some gals.

Just imagine the impossible hell Buck would be in now if Taubman had done something truly scandalous, like pantomime a mooning.

But seriously, Jose Andres is a goddamn saint. He was in Puerto Rico serving over 10,000 a meals a day after Hurricane Maria struck.

MLB instructed the home team to wear alternate jerseys so the president is the only obvious white national in the stadium.

Related: I don’t mind Joe Buck, either. He is extremely okay at a job that must be harder than it appears from the comfort of my couch judging by how many other people are awful at it. But is he really the only one who can do this? We’ve got him flying from Houston for Game 2, to Minnesota for Thursday Night Football,…

This is the football manager’s equivalent of flopping.

He has a very bad case of bond-villain face

I mean, it’s pretty rude to ask a softball question of a soccer coach.

“We have our new assistant GM!" - The Houston Astros 

I’m honestly surprised that the players wont be independent contractors. 

We did not need the ghost explanation, anyone with half a brain figured out what Darnold meant. I apologize after further review the call is overturned, you needed to explain to this quarter brain crowd.

I was watching the game live, heard the ghosts comment happen and this was my immediate thought when I heard it. But even if the Jets end up looking immature and childish over their response to the line being aired, to them that’s still probably a preferable choice - for both them and the nfl proper - than having to…

Well, yeah, I think we all know that, but it’s funnier the other way.
