Don't call it a comeback! After all that back and forth, Greg and I have come to a truce. He has agreed to accept his defeat, and I have agreed to defeat him. It's a situation where everybody wins...except Greg. But really it's a victory for everyone, so I'm pretty comfortable in claiming that we are the champions. Speaking of champions, MLB is not too far from realizing who will be the World Series champions this year, and whether or not the McFly Prophecy will be fulfilled. I know there was only one baseball game last night, and as Greg has previously mentioned, unfortunately none of that baseball is Yankees baseball. In fact, because there's no baseball to play Alex Rodriguez has found a way to keep himself busy. Who do you think has a better shot at starting a NFL game, A-Rod or Tim Tebow?
Back to baseball, last night the Cubs and Mets faced off and saw New York take a 2-0 series lead. Everyone send good will and happy thoughts to Chicago. Also, Daniel Murphy hit another home run because of course he did. On the American side of things, tonight the Royals and the Blue Jays face off in what has become a pivotal game for Toronto. Lose tonight and they're only one game away from being Royally screwed. It's Cueto vs. Stroman tonight in what should be an interesting match-up.
Comments of the Day
If you told me you didn't want the Yankees to sign Greinke because of his age or cost concerns, I'd understand that. Not wanting him because he "can't handle NY" is complete and utter boo-hockey. P.S. I would be happy if Greinke signed with the Yankees

Honorable Mod Mention
I couldn't decide who should win the HMM so I enlisted David Cone for some help. Coney, who do you think should get it?

Fun Questions
- NFL plays are often very creatively named. Come up with a name for a new play and describe the play.
- Chopsticks: Overrated or fun?
Song of the Day
We Are the Champions by Queen
It's Queen Week on Pinstripe Alley and if you were paying attention you probably saw the SotD coming. As always, please link us your song of the day.
Feel free to use this as your open thread for the day. The ALCS continues tonight and if you don't feel like talking about that, there's always Monday Night Football which showcases the Giants in an NFC East divisional bout against the Eagles. Or you know, just talk about apples.
