Three observations …

• Carlos Gomez has been known to get a little crazy at times. But his behavior on Wednesday, when the Brewers outfielder screamed at the Braves after hitting a home run, was extreme even for him.

• I still want to know why Atlanta's Brian McCann wasn't ejected and suspended for blocking Gomez on the way to home plate and basically igniting a benches-clearing incident just because he wanted to call out Gomez.

• Michael Cuddyer, batting champion. He enters the final day of the season with the NL lead, and I never viewed him as someone who would hit for a high average.

... and two predictions

• The Yankees will let Robinson Cano walk as a free agent, and he will walk across the country to the National League and sign with the Dodgers.

• Florida's Jose Fernandez will win the 2014 Cy Young.
