Today at FanHouse

Where we bathe in champagne every day.

  • On Deck: It's Now Or Never - If the Brewers are going to pull off a crazy last ditch effort to take the NL Central away from the Cubs, they can't afford to make any mistakes from here out. They're currently 3.5 games behind the Cubs with only seven games left to play. That means if they finish their season by winning their last seven games, the Cubs have to go 3-3 to force a playoff game. So as you can see, Milwaukee can't afford any more losses. Dave Bush gets the start for the Brewers, and he hasn't picked up a win in his last three starts. He did pitch well in his last start though, going six innings and allowing only a run against Houston, but he didn't factor into the decision. Against the Cardinals, Bush is 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA. Adam Wainwright will start for the Cardinals, whose season may be over, but maybe they'll take some solace in eliminating Milwaukee. Though, if the Cardinals lose these three games, there will be plenty of Cubs fans who think it's some kind of huge conspiracy spearheaded by the evil Tony LaRussa.
  • Twins Fans Say Goodbye to Torii Hunter - The Twins beat the White Sox 7-1 on Sunday in Minnesota, but the game didn't mean anything to either team. The game was essentially a going away party for Torii Hunter as it was the Twins final home game of the season, and therefore it was very likely Hunter's last game in Minnesota as a member of the Minnesota Twins. With the Twins up 7-1 going into the bottom of the 9th inning, Hunter ran out to take his place in centerfield. That's when Ron Gardenhire sent Jason Tyner out to replace Hunter, and then things just got emotional.
  • Who Owns Los Angeles? - After clinching yet another AL West title this weekend, the Angels find themselves in familiar territory. It's their third division title in the last four years and it seems as if postseason baseball is becoming a regular feature in Los Angeles. The thing is, it's never the Dodgers who are going to the postseason these days. Things are going so well right now for the Angels that some are declaring that they now own Los Angeles, including Paul Oberjuerge of the LA Daily News.
