That NL Central is pretty awful and makes the Cubbies look better than they are so I think the Cubs have much less of a chance of getting to the world series than the Sox imho...but I also hate them so that might be clouding my judgement.
Not that I'm superstitious or anything but as long as the Sox are in 1st place, I will continue watching the games as I have been since the beginning of the Tiger series...tv on but sound off...following the game thread on my phone...with my wife on the couch reading a book next to me...hope to continue into October!!
If Mazara is the WS MVP this season, I think he'll be back in 2021. It could happen...Ricky clearly is not going to stop playing him and you never know what happens come playoffs ?
If it was two outs in the 5th, they might leave him in to try to get him a W, but I'm guessing since it's the 4th he's reached his pitch count so time to come out. Nice job especially after that rocky 1st.
