There’s a double-feature of baseball today, one of the last days that we’ll have such a treat until the start of the next season. The NLCS kicks off while the ALCS gets into its second game of action,
and the Mariners could take a commanding lead if they manage to hold down Toronto’s offense as well as they did in Game 1. Meanwhile, Milwaukee will look to hold onto its own home field advantage as they welcome the defending champs.
On the site today, Estevão starts us off with a more in-depth look at how the Mariners took Game 1 away from the Blue Jays. Then, Jake takes on the task of evaluating Aaron Boone after his eighth season at the helm of the Yankees, John takes us through the 2000 Yanks getting ahead in their ALCS matchup with Seattle, and later on I’ll open up the mailbag for more of your questions.
