We went nearly the entire baseball season without Harold Reynolds, but that all changed on Friday in game six, a 4-3 Royals' win that clinched their second straight pennant.
Let's take a look at his finest moments:
* Salvador Perez simply A) blocked a strike 3 in the dirt, B) looked back a runner at second and C) threw to first to complete the strike out. Reynolds: "that's next-level stuff right there."
Isn't that just THIS level stuff?
* Mike Moustakas hit a second-inning home run. Eventually Reynolds said this: "if we're playing wiffle ball in Joe's backyard, that's probably a triple."
Pardon?
* The 'Joe' mentioned in the previous couple sentences was play-by-play man Joe Buck, and at one point he mentioned how there was rain in the forecast for the late innings. Reynolds said: "you found a way to silence me, Joe. (now quoting Buck) 'The rain is coming'. "No! Please!"
If only that was all it would take, Harold, just some rain.
And some other nonsense:
* Pinch-runner and potential tying run Dalton Pompey steals second in ninth: "What a money bag!.....that is a money bag."
So, a money bag?
And with Pompey on second and Kevin Pillar batting: "I can't believe how different the game is. Man at second nobody out, we don't move him."
9 seconds later, Pompey stole third.
* On it being a little more humid at the start of the game: "...and you get a nice lather going."
* And finally, it was a 2-1 game in the seventh and Reynolds said: "this has been a tight game."
Thanks, Harold! You mean at no point in this game was a team ahead 14-0?
11-3?
Harold!

It's the middle of October in New York (and other places), so it's cold.
But just one mention of it at the start of the broadcast (Ernie Johnson: "it's extremely crisp") wasn't enough for the TBS team.
"It's 41 degrees"
"Chilly temperatures"
"...on a night like this"
"Chilly night here in New York"
"Tough to pitch with the cold tonight"
"They're bundled up here at Citi Field"
"40 degrees now"
"Cold weather"
"In this cold, the sting lasts a little longer"
"And on this chilly night in New York, Joe Maddon heads to the mound in the eighth"
So: chilly.

Ernie Johnson has called Cal Ripken "Ironman" before, and each time (I'm assuming) it makes everyone feel really uncomfortable.
But why does he do it? Cal Ripken has been given the nickname 'The Ironman' before because he holds the all-time record for consecutive games played. That's fine. But as far as we know, Ernie Johnson is the only person on earth who CALLS HIM IRONMAN.
And during Thursday's game, Johnson even did this:
"Just kidding, Iron."
Stop it, Ernie Johnson!

What a phenomenal postseason debut for Jacob deGrom.
The right-hander struck out 13 (the most ever for a pitcher in his debut) in seven shut out innings as New York won 3-1 to steal home field advantage.
deGrom retired the final 11 batters he faced, on the road, in his first postseason start.
Incredible performance for the Mets, who were playing in their first postseason since The Beltran Game in 2006.
David Wright had a big, two-out, two-run single in the seventh to put the Mets up 3-0. Clayton Kershaw had walked the bases loaded with two outs before Pedro Baez relieved and served up the sharp single up the middle.
Kershaw was charged with all three earned runs in 6 2/3 innings pitched, though he pitched well (11 K) & actually lowered his career playoff ERA to an even 5.
* Few Baseball Phrases for the TBS commentating team
Cal Ripken
"this time playing possum"

The Mets' offense is really struggling and had scored just one run in the previous 42 innings before Curtis Granderson launched a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth for the only run of this game.
A miserable season came to an end for the Nationals, who ended up firing manager Matt Williams afterwards.
* This was my first time listening to Keith Hernandez in nearly six months, so it took me a second to remember how ridiculous he is.
Quite.
The answer is he is quite ridiculous.
We were forced to play a game called What Are All The Things That Keith Hernandez Remembers? because Keith Hernandez has to mention his playing career every 6 minutes (MLB/federal law).
Here's what we learned:
1. He lost the batting title on the last day of the 1980 baseball season.
2. He knows Steve Carlton and saw him the other day.
3. In 1984 Mets fans loved the Mets so they cheered for (the Mets) a lot on the last day of the season.
4. He watched a Brewers game in 1982.
5. Mike Witt was a good pitcher.
6. He played baseball for the Mets.
More from Hernandez
- On Jacob deGrom's upcoming Division Series start: "maybe the most important start of his young career."
Maybe?! It's his second season in the big leagues and it will be his first playoff start.
- Back to the 1980 batting race: "I ended up losing the batting race to Bill Buckner, ironically."
Someone doesn't know the meaning of the word "ironically".
I think he's trying to say that since Buckner made the error in the World Series six years later that it is now ironic that Buckner (future Redsox) would've beaten Keith Hernandez (future Met) in a batting race six years earlier.
- It was a sunny day and Washington second baseman Trea Turner wasn't wearing sunglasses. Play-by-play man Gary Cohen: "how does a Major League player not go out onto the field with sunglasses?"
Hernandez: "maybe....he's a September call-up?"
Pardon?
- And finally, Hernandez called Granderson's home run a Vinny Bombarito, so he clearly wasn't going to get away with that.

6:41 - The regular season for the New York Yankees is, in fact, (finally) over.
6:40 - Arizona 5, Houston 3 (F). Yankees host wild card game on Tuesday.
"Thank You, Arizona!"
- tentative title of early-2016 documentary on the 2015 Yankees (directed by Bob Feathers Jr.)
6:08 - Baltimore wins 9-4. The Yankees, in need of just two victories during the final WEEK of the regular season to secure a home game in the AL Wild Card Game, won once.
5:14 - 5:49 - Orioles succeeding, Yankees failing, part 2
5:00 - 5:13 - Orioles succeeding, Yankees failing.
4:59 - I mean it: is it over?
4:49 - Arizona 2, Houston 2.
The Yankees can 1. play poorly and 2. still back into a home game in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game with a Houston loss.
This is absolutely the first/last? time I'm cheering for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
4:46 - CCH didn't go well (5-1 Orioles), Meanwhile: Arizona 2, Houston 1 (top 5)
4:43 - CCH isn't going well.
4:38 - Let us begin Chris Capunao Hour (CCH)
4:36 - Is the regular season over yet?
4:34 - IYOI
4:17 - The Yankees have left 277 players on base through four innings (Ellis Sports Bureau)
3:59 - IYOI
3:50 - Brett Gardner just took five pitches (three strikes). I'm not sure there's a better description for what it was like to watch Gardner hit the past two months.
3:44 - Every once in a while I'll express my disbelief that a player is still active at the highest level of professional baseball, then type his name and add some punctuation.
Today's winner is:
J.J. Hardy?!
3:34.15 - Chase Headley isn't a good hitter.
3:33 - I need to pay someone upwards of 15 peanut shells to find out how many ground-rule doubles the Yankees have hit this season. It has to be close to a team record.
Greg Bird has one to start the second.
3:14 - Infuriating Yankee Offensive Inning (IYOI) - 1 (of 1)
3:07 - I wasn't quick enough to get the screen shot, but the man in this photograph
was wearing an LSU sweatshirt and the man a few feet to his left had on a Detroit Tigers t-shirt.
Yanks-O's!

Game 299 - Boston Redsox at New York Yankees
October 1 at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY
YES Network
It's been an absolutely ridiculous six months for the New York Yankees. The team has gone from low expectations in March to possibly being the best team in the American League in July to looking like an old, tired team that may limp into the Wild Card game OR limp into their living rooms to watch the Wild Card game on television to clinching a spot in that game on the fourth-to-last day of the regular season.
Thursday's 4-1 win behind a gutsy performance from the rejuvenated CC Sabathia (5 IP, 1 ER), stellar relief work from Adam Warren (three one-hit innings) & a trio of solo home runs, put New York in the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
The formula for this postseason-securing victory was the formula for a lot of Yankee wins: good enough starting pitching, excellent work from the bullpen and hitting the ball out of the park.
So, they qualified for the postseason (one more win or a Houston loss this weekend and NY will host Tuesday's play-in game), but things are never easy for the 2015 Yankees.
The 2015 Yankees, a timeline
Spring Training: "the Yankees will be lucky to finish .500."
Mid-April (3-6 start): "see?!"
Win 13 of 16, climb into first place: "the Yankees are over-achieving!"
Season-high seven-game AL East lead in late-July: "the Yankees might be the AL favorites!"
Lose entire lead in 13 days to surging Toronto: "the Yankees stink!"
Back in first: "are the Yankees good enough to stay in first and hold off Toronto?"
Embarrassed by the Houston Astros in late-August, fall back into second place for remainder of season: "no!"
Late night, September 30, lose third straight to Boston: "are the Yankees even going to make the playoffs?!"
Late night, October 1: "looks like it!"
Mid-morning, October 2: "the Yankees will be lucky to even win the Wild Card game."

Glad to get one, final late afternoon to spend with Mr. Davis.
It wasn't like his September 10 performance, but Davis did spend the entire game thanking seemingly every single person that works on the Fox broadcasts, at Petco Park & in the city of San Diego.
He also provided some great nonsense:
"he gave up about six eight hoppers and three bleeders"
"and that is paint from Ian Kennedy"
"that had some breeze on that one, that was a pretty good pitch"
"every grind"/"tough grind"
"coming out of your zapatos! that's shoes, by the way"
"so you don't go you know what over tea kettle"
(Padres uniform) "best looking uni there...in the whole, wide world!"
"how about a hardy thanks to the Friar faithful?"
"petrol. 97 octane coming at you from Craig Kimbrel"
And while thanking some of the people who handle the technical side of the broadcasts, play-by-play man Dick Enberg said "how would you like to do that?"
Davis: "I can't even plug in a charger for crying out loud!"
Alright, Mark, take it easy.

Game 297 - New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies

Quite a performance from Jerad Eickhoff, who tossed seven scoreless innings as the Phillies completed a sweep with a 3-0 win.
Eickhoff was a 15th-round selection by the Texas Rangers in the 2011 draft and was part of the Cole Hamels trade in July. The rookie right-hander was making his eighth career start on Thursday afternoon and he used an excellent curve ball to strike out 10 and allow just four hits.
With the threat of bad weather this evening the game was moved from its original 7 p.m. start time. We'd have to file this under Not Quite a Capacity Crowd:

"Where else do you want to celebrate your bachelorette party than Citizens Bank Park?"
Well, Gregg, I'm not a woman, nor have I ever been to a bachelorette party. But I've got to figure my answer to that question is anywhere else on planet Earth?
* Couple of Matt Stairs Moments I'd like to mention.
On guessing wrong on a pitch
"Next thing you know, you're popping it up and 'aww, man!'"
On how quickly the game was going in the early innings
"At P.F. Chang's, we're going to have an early dinner!"
On.....something
"No-man land....that no-man area.....what is it?"
Play-by-play man Tom McCarthy: "no-man's land"
"Thank you."

Quite a performance from Jerad Eickhoff, who tossed seven scoreless innings as the Phillies completed a sweep with a 3-0 win.
Eickhoff was a 15th-round selection by the Texas Rangers in the 2011 draft and was part of the Cole Hamels trade in July. The rookie right-hander was making his eighth career start on Thursday afternoon and he used an excellent curve ball to strike out 10 and allow just four hits.
With the threat of bad weather this evening the game was moved from its original 7 p.m. start time. We'd have to file this under Not Quite a Capacity Crowd:
