No idea about baseball but going to see Brewers @ Mets at the end of the month.
Who will win? Will it be close?

There's no shame in losing to a Strasburg 1st hit of the season 400 yard home run.
Oh wait, silly me, that should have read...
There's so much shame...
Just pootle around mlb.com.
Only then will you realise just how badly we are serviced by our sporting websites.
All the highlights n'stuff are in the video section, plus there's a live game screened every day.

Sounds fantastic. Something for me to do whilst lounging in the sun in the Algarve today and building up to Seagulls Player tomorrow

Twins with a 4-3 walkoff win last night v the Red Sox, to take them top of an (admittedly mediocre) ALC.
It can't last though. Impossible.

The Cardinals rubber game in Denver is the free game this evening on mlb.tv
Coors Field is my second favourite stadium to watch baseball, after AT&T park San Francisco
LET'S GO CARDINALS !

As of now, Brewers are slightly above Cubs and Cardinals in first place in the division. The Nationals are running away from the Mets and every other team in their division. Many fans are gobsmacked that the Cubs have been mediocre as the rest of their division.
Overall the Mets are 7 games below an even total of winds and looses. As of now you must favour the Brewers but baseball is very arbitrary and any team can get a good pitching performance and win that day.

Have you been to Coors Field? I hear the baseball can fly out of that ball park quite easily due to the high altitudes. Have you ever experienced this in a city with a high altitude?

I saw four games there in 2015 and you're right they say the ball flies there.
And if you look at the statistics (like everything in US sports) it would seem to back this up.
But to the casual fan, don't expect to see a ball float higher and further there than anywhere else. We are talking fractions here, like the difference between hitting the wall, and climbing over. Its a bit like whether the wind is blowing in or out at Wrigley Field. It makes a difference, but its still only fractions.
Coors Field was the only place I've seen a walk-off hit. I long to see one at Busch Stadium St Louis.

Isn't Philly in perpetual rebuilding mode?
Yet the difference in baseball between winning and losing is many times only centimeters. Or so I have been told.

Can you imagine being at the Amex until 1.11am ?
Last night the Red Sox walked off after 19 innings! I'd love to know how many stayed til the end
I saw 14 innings in Denver end with a walk-off (sadly)

Absolutely classic this season's Blue Jays. Absolute tossers.

I enjoyed the Red Sox CEO press conference where he kind of said "well yeah, but its not like everyone doesn't do it"
and the commissioner who said there is no rule against it, its just the use of electronic equipment that they should do.
Weird
My one game this season was a glorious 10th innings GRAND SLAM walk-off for the Blue Jays.
It's a shame the rest of the seasons has been PANTS. I'd love to know what the stats are for the Jays throwing away leads this season. Last night was a classic example.
It's that most embarrasing time of the year:-
Feckin goggled-faced clowns.

I heard you could get Google watches with Red Sox logos very cheap on eBay right now.

No mention of The Tribe hitting 21 wins... a sequel to Moneyball about to be greenlit?

Had an American staying with us last week and she said I need to support the Mets. Don't know much about baseball but want to get into it so suppose Mets are now my team...thoughts?
