How does a team lose 18 straight playoff games. That is hard to fathom.

Not anything startling here. No big bats coming. No big name pitching. Not selling the team. JD remains GM. I don't remember a black cat crossing my path today.

Well we know exactly where the off season starts.

I have never read about this before.

"The same week the Cowboys came to Dallas in 1960, plans were announced for a domed Bi-County Stadium in Arlington to lure a major league baseball expansion team."

"Voters in both Tarrant and Dallas counties had already approved the money.

And this wasn’t just any ballpark. It was a giant, space-age silver dome, just like the one already announced that would become the Houston Astrodome.

The Star-Telegram called it a “space-age” $9.5 million stadium with 31,000 seats to completed by 1961, with eventual seating for 60,000 to 70,000."

Any thoughts on the plan to sell 11k tickets to the NLCS and WS games?

How do you select who gets the tickets

Rangers selling ng but you have to buy a package. Regardless they are sold in 4 ticket pods

Going to be Oakland vs Houston. Hate that the game ended on Mazara strikeout
