I just have a hard time believing that not liking something as universally popular as sports makes you any smarter.

There was that 2-run HR from Trumbo, but other than that Marcus Stroman has been breezing through this game.

The Orioles hitters are being way too aggressive in their at-bats. Too many balls in the dirt that they've been swinging at and this may cost them the game.

I want the Cubs to win simply because they haven't in over 100 years. They should get it.
