It's going to be really funny if the O's/Dodgers/Braves all get eliminated, and especially if the Astros get eliminated and the MLB has to sit around having to figure out what to do with all their marketing plans.

I mean they did score more runs this year than any Dodgers team since the move to LA so getting shut out is not exactly on-brand

And there’s no way Kersh lets this be his last game, he’d be mad at himself the rest of his life.

Luckily for Manfred, both Florida teams got eliminated early.

Every home team lost yesterday except your Houston Astros, who had a losing record at home in the regular season and somewhat famously went 0-4 at home in the '19 WS. I don't know what this portends.

This is what I said a few pages back. It's hard to make the playoffs for the first time in a long time and go all the way.

A likely Rangers-Astros ALCS sucks real bad though.

Well you can say pitching around Corey Seager worked because the Rangers only scored *checks notes* …11 runs?!

At least they did me the courtesy of sucking out the gate so I never really had the time to get my hopes up. Fun season nonetheless, I guess let's see if they can continue not sucking next year.

This is where I'm at, moment is too big for the young guys and if they make it back they won't have the same mental baggage. Grayson needs a sports psychologist or hypnosis or something, John needs to open up the wallet on FA and frankly Hyde isn't a tactical genius.

That being said if they can get the pitching under control and the bat's stay awake they still have a shot.

Kid behind me at the Target Field watch party shouted "USA! USA!" after that double. His older brother tried to correct him. I had to restrain myself from telling him that as Correa is Puerto Rican, his little brother was correct.

If the Minnesota wins, it'd be the first ALCS without the Astros since 2016. And it's already probably going to be the first one without an AL East team since 2011.

The Dodgers have decimated Gallen this season so there's that to feel good about (granted it was only two games)
