And Sunshine and Saladbar...Yes, but slightly terrifying worst case if they find themselves down 1-2 with Tomlin or a 3 day rest Bauer to choose from.
I’d prefer they just roll through and avoid that, though.

It's almost time for the annual "the wild card should be a series, not one game" stuff on social media by people who don't get it. It's not about having extra playoff teams. It's about incentivizing winning your division, and giving the top seed an advantage in the divisional round. Keeping more teams in the hunt in September doesn't hurt, either.

I laugh until I realize he's just heating the Twinkies' bats up for the next series.

On this day in sports history...
On Oct. 5, 2007, a swarm of the little bugs soared in over the stadium walls here, most likely taking flight from the nearby shores of Lake Erie. And they arrived just in time to create total havoc in the late innings of Game 2 of the first-round playoff series between the Yankees and Cleveland Indians, specifically by harassing Joba Chamberlain on the mound.
The Yankees Are Back in Cleveland. Will the Bugs Return, Too?
So could it happen again? Maybe this time it would happen with David Robertson or Chad Green or Aroldis Chapman on the mound for the Yankees, trying to protect a one-run lead, just as Chamberlain was trying to do 10 years ago.
“It’s not totally predictable, but it’s usually tied to early changes in the climate,” said Jessica L. Fox, an associate professor of biology at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland who has a degree in entomology from Cornell.
“We have more than 40 species of midges around here, and you don’t know exactly when it is going to occur,” she said of a possible bug swarm. But, she noted, it “generally happens once in the spring and once in the fall, around this time.”
According to Fox, when the midges appear en masse they are actually engaging in a mating display. The males swarm around an object — a light pole, a puddle of water, or a right-handed relief pitcher — waiting for the females to arrive. For humans, they are essentially harmless — except in critical late-inning situations.
