I heard you tonight, GCG:

Sorry, O Really, but it's your own fault. Your Padres won the only game where you bothered to post, "Go Padres!" let alone any trash talk.

[O Really]

Maybe, but if my MLB mojo isn't any better than my football, I'm pretty sure I wasn't at fault. UNC alums are used to having defective mojo.

8th inning, 1 out: That Yankee 3B catch and flip into the Red Sox dugout will make highlight reels for years to come. 4-0, 3 outs to the series win.

Third base side on Tuesday, first base side today. Comparable seats.

Do you take a glove? How about beads?

I have no voice left.

I have no voice left.

I thought about predicting that.

I expect trash talk with O Really.

Go baseball:
(5) Padres vs at (4) Cubs
1: 1-3 Cubs
2: 3-0 Padres. Game 3!
3: 3-1 Cubs

Go:
(6) Tigers > at (3) Cleveland 2-1
1-6 Cleveland. Game 3!
6-3 Tigers!

at (4) Yankees > (5) Red Sox 1-3
4-3 Yankees, phew Game 3!

(6) Reds > at (3) Dodgers
5-10 Fans got their money's worth.
4-8, lots of runs again. LAD wins series 2-0. I don't hate the Dodgers. It's just that they've had so much success the past few years that I figure it's someone else's turn.

1-2 so far.

1-2 again, 2-4 so far.

2-0, 4-4 in this round. Also 2-1 for series winners.

GO 4 Cubs > @1 Brewers
GO @1 Blue Jays > 4 Yankees
GO @2 Phillies > 3 Dodgers

6 Tigers vs @2 Mariners. I really like both, GO Baseball!

The sun went down on the Padres.





We won the lottery for the division round too.

More playoff baseball for me!

You think the Brewers are the weakest remaining NL team? Cool. Will you go to the Milwaukee games? I would.

Oh no, they're still probably the strongest but we beat them 3 out of 5 in August and stopped their dominant streak.

Very possible to do it again, but it's gonna be a rough haul.

Tickets are in big demand in Milwaukee....$$, nosebleeds are $200+.

I'll catch them here.

Happy Place!

What makes you say that you "won the lottery for the division round", then?

What do Wrigley nosebleeds cost?

... He scattered just five singles and walked none, with the Red Sox never getting past second base. He recorded the most strikeouts by any rookie in franchise postseason history and became the first pitcher in MLB history to throw at least eight scoreless innings and strike out at least 12 without allowing a walk in a playoff game....

Playoff tickets for non season ticket holders are allocated by lottery first, then the general public.

Last round nosebleeds were about $100.

Padres went 3-26 with runners in scoring position. Do that, and it's kinda hard to blame the umps.

Both bullpens were awesome.

Three runs won every game.

Give a little credit to the Cubs defense also, it was stellar. Three gold glovers and two future gold glovers (and a gold glover playing DH).

What were you saying about the bullpen and defense? Good thing you didn't go. Got tix for both games and Game 6 if needed?

Didn't really expect a win today, just hoping to take one of two in Milwaukee. Tough to come off a do or die game and face a rested teams best pitcher. Just ask the Yankees.


Five game series.

Got tickets for game four.
