The Crazy MLB playoffs

[Thunder]

11-0 after the top half of the first. LOL

 

Happened to the Braves last year as well. I think that was an elimination game in the NLDS too. That's brutal. At least they still lead this series

They better come out desperate for game 4. Need better pitching for sure.

All the bad guys won last night. Dammit.

Last year, they were only down 10-0 after the first inning. Totally different.

 

Funny story - that was a record for the first inning of a post-season game then. It lasted all of one year...

R-E-L-A-X

 

Especially with the Astros. Not like anybody ever comes back from 3-0

 

Oh wait...

Would hate to see los angeles win another sports title. Can’t stand any of their teams.

 

The Kings are fine.

Chargers?

[Thunder]

LA teams I don't hate:

 

Rams

Chargers

Angels

Dodgers

Lakers

Clippers

Kings

Galaxy

LA FC

 

Love > Hate

And one other thing we clearly both agree on - f*** the Sparks!!!

I know the Rams have a long history in L.A. but that ten year stint in St Louis is enough to mean they're going to have to be in L.A. a few more years before I consider them a real L.A. team again. Obviously, the Chargers are NOT an L.A. team. No one in L.A. cares much about the Rams coming back, so they sure as s*** don't care about the Chargers.

 

Angels are not an L.A. team. The owner blatantly disrespected the fans and the city of Anaheim when he changed the name to try to cash in more. I'd like to know how many people in L.A. jumped on board after the name change. I doubt it was many - L.A. will always be Dodgertown.

 

Lakers are a team like the Utah Jazz, who should have changed their name when they relocated. Since "Clippers" referenced ships in San Diego bay, maybe they should have changed their name too. As with the Yankees, I estimate about 80% of the Lakers fans are frontrunning "casuals" who know next to nothing about the team or sport. Of course, the Lakers fan base shrunk considerably during their putrid stretch and this year has probably quadrupled.

 

Does anyone in L.A. care about hockey? Genuine question. And really, the Kings are the only L.A. team out of the four major sports that has spent their entire existence in L.A.?

Any WNBA team that does not have any former UConn players on its roster does not deserve to even be mentioned.

 

 

I don't hate them though

I don't have anything against the Dodgers or LA teams. That said, I want the Braves to win because 1) they are one of my favorite teams outside of the Sox, and 2) I really don't want to hear the 'we should have signed Mookie' arguments all offseason, and the Dodgers winning it all will certainly add fuel to that fire.

The Dodgers are really good. I'm not sure the Braves can pull this off.

And, until last week, the only one with any real postseason success for the last decade

[TylerD]

Rays tied it up. Neat.

[TylerD]

Rays better win tomorrow. Jesus.

[d-money]

Those cheaters are still alive unreal. Boy tampa bay must be feeling the pressure right now. They don’t wanna join the yankees that’s for sure.

[d-money]

Rays better win tomorrow. Jesus.

 

They must be getting tight.

[Thunder]

But if the Astros win than that means the Red Sox aren't special anymore!!!!

I will be surprised if the rays blow this lead. They win tomorrow.

[d-money]

Walking batters with a 7-1 lead. The Braves are ridiculous.

[d-money]

Bases loaded and 1 out for the Dodgers. Braves up 7-1.

[Bellhorn04]

Buck and Smoltz kind of put the hex on Graterol last night.

 

"This kid is amazing...makes throwing 100 look easy...hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score this postseason..."

Sort of like Joe Buck and his 2013 Hex:

 

"Ortiz has never homered off Benoit"...

[Bellhorn04]

Snake is laboring but no damage yet. Needs to be a little more efficient.

[d-money]

Diego castillo in the 5th? Over managing maybe? Rays bats have gone completely cold.

[d-money]

3-1 stros. This would be a massive choke job. Somewhere the yankees are rooting for the cheaters. They will deny this but they don’t wanna be the only baseball team to be in the record books. Misery loves company. Edited October 17, 2020 by d-money

Tampa looks toast.

[d-money]

Tampa looks toast.

 

If we have a game 7 they will start to press in that game with each passing inning knowing they could blow a 3-0 series lead. I never thought we could see that again in baseball and here we are almost close to it again.

If Houston keeps this lead, they’ll become only the second team ever to fall behind 3 games to none and then force a game 7.

 

So naturally, no team has ever gone up 3 games to none and won game 7...
