I agree with Olbermann's assessment. Yet another reason for me to watch old game TV broadcasts and listen to OTR games. I also think Dave Roberts is soon to be done in LA and Boone will be also after the Yankees are eliminated by Cleveland.

I have to admit, I do prefer the 8 team playoff system MLB previously had in place (with just one wild card team per league). Now with 12 teams, this is coming dangerously close to the NBA or NHL, where your team only has to avoid downright mediocrity to not make the playoffs.

Hmm. Guardians ain't eliminating anybody, Boone is not going anywhere, and.... Guardians is such a crummy name, announcers wont even say it.

They should have renamed the team Guarindians, thus retaining the complete Indians name in the new team name, instead of just the 'dians' part.

They also could have settled on the Custodians, which of course is better than Guardians, as this would imply that the team is capable of a clean sweep of opponents. The Guardians name only implies being able to hold a late inning lead.

Well, the Yanks proved me wrong. They did not fold up like a cheap suit after all. Next up, Houston.
