MLB Wild Card GDT: Chaosball for the Chaos God

Miz Kriss: Mar 17, 2009; It's only an avatar if the Cubs get swept.

Who�s ready for October Baseball? As usual, American League plays first so let�s see who we got in this chaos round.

Texas Rangers vs Tampa Bay Rays: The Devils and Texas
The �no one won the division� matchup. Don�t know who to root for, but Tampa Bay are wearing their Devil Rays jerseys tonight, so that�s cool.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Minnesota Twins: The vacant tv ratings pool
We got the winner of the AL Central Bloodbath vs the birds who barely squeaked in. Both have something to prove with a win this series.

Miami Marlins vs Philedelphia Phillies: Phishtober
To be honest, both teams are a �team of destiny� and it�s up to the baseball gods to decide which one will be the anointed team this year. This is also a historical series as the Marlins� GM is the first female GM to make a postseason berth :toot:

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Milwaukee Brewers: Beers vs Backs[b]
Milwaukee (begrudgingly) has become the NL Central Division darling after every other team fell off a cliff, while Arizona has become the little engine that could. While not as hyped as Phillies vs Miami, this one is also sure to be a good matchup. And fodder for whoever faces Atlanta.

I think I like the Rangers more than the Rays but unfortunately Rangers fans are often also Cowboys fans and Cowboys fans don't deserve happiness so go Rays.

Basically same. They're both in the middle, so I just hope it's an entertaining game.

Is Yandy Diaz the most obviously juiced player in the majors? I'll say so.

Don't worry most of the umps set for the Twins/Jays series loving hate the Jays if their ump scorecards are anything to go by.

Also gently caress Sportsnet for blacking out the entire MLB playoffs in Canada.
