One Night Only: Game Previews for August 13th
When you talk about talking people, you’re talking about these people talking.
Featured Game
Los Angeles Americans (5) at Toronto (6) | 13:07 ET
• When you’re talking about pitchers who’re third in the league in WAR, you’re talking about Jered Weaver (5.5).
• That’s provided, of course, that you’re talking about something as specific as that.
• Question: how long of a conversation would that be, though — the pitchers-who’re-third-in-the-league conversation?
• Thirty seconds?
• Or, because this is a Blue Jay game, 45 metric seconds?

Using N (national) and A (american) to distinguish teams from the same city and in differnet leauges is a fairly common convention. Whats the problem?
If you watch baseball you should know that NYY is AL and NYM is NL
nya…
NYAH?
