GIANTS CRUSH TIGERS

The Giants took the first game of a three-game series behind a solid performance from former Tiger Fritz Ostermueller. New York''s offense somehow still overpowering -- despite the loss of Cooper and Mize.

NYG (32-36) 992
DET (32-26) 263

Today's #1947League brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl, whose #Mariners are leaving my #Athletics in the dust in the AL West, and by Joe Turner and his Boogie Woogie Boys.

Jazz? Boogie? Rock? R&B? All of the above, thank God.

@YakyuNightOwl , I have Logan Gilbert in my fantasy league, and he's pitching tonight. Can you please make sure he doesn't let me down?

#1947League question

Not known as a power hitter, this future Hall of Famer was the first slugger to connect for three home runs in a single game during Cuban professional play. He did it in 1929.

Can you name him?

Looking like I won't get a #1947League game in today. Catch you tomorrow!

I think it was postponed due to rain.

Call them the Gamblers or something, then. I for one won't pretend that's the #Athletics if they go through with this.

That is officially the worst news of the day. Week? Month? Year? Sigh.

Yeah, I guess... But basically I am a Brooklyn Dodgers guy in 1957 reading about how cool Chavez Ravine is going to be. It's going to take me a while to process this.

If you need another AL team to call home, may I suggest the Toronto Blue Jays?

Unless you’re like George Utley from the show Newhart: “I can’t cheer for a bird that steals food from the other birds.”

This year, I've got the A's. I guess I'll have to figure out what happens after I complete the grieving process.

It sucks all the way around. I remember my beloved North Stars moving to Dallas and then winning a Cup a few seasons later just to make it sting a little more.

Yeah, I fully expect them to contend the minute they move. :-(

The systematic destruction of what had not long ago been a viable team has been a conscious undertaking from ownership. That hurts too.

I think the guy at the top wants tiny crowds for this team right now.

Seems like the plot to a movie I’ve seen.
