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

Only 4 teams remain. Which one are you rooting for?

:frogsiren:

ALCS: Deep in the Heart of Texas :frogsiren:

Both teams have some weird mojo going on. Or they played bad teams. Who knows. At least they don�t have to travel far to play each other.

The Texas Rangers: With Arms Wide Open
The Rangers have fully embraced the playoff chaos demons as well as early 2000s god-rock. When was the last time Creed was even relevant? The Rangers don�t care. They�ll keep blaring it in the locker room and win games. Can you take them higher?

The Houston Astros: Devil Magic never left
Okay, I�ll say it. The Devil Magic that St Louis has relied on for years have new owners. It now belongs to the Houston Astros. Be on the brink of elimination, only to win the division at the last minute because everyone else conveniently collapse in the last week of the regular season? It�s possible for Houston. The Postmortem thread was crying about Houston joining them soon, but now they�re in the ALCS. In Dusty we Trusty indeed.

NLCS: Loser keeps Curt Schilling :frogsiren:

https://twitter.com/panasonicdx4500/status/1710833713787900200?s=46&t=lRl8HNC2dXvuRHcXaz1cXw
Congrats, National League! Both contenders are wild card picks! Now we have to hear crying and whining about how the playoff format needs to change cause the 100 game winners got bounced in the divisional series! The horror! We have two flavors of chaos in this series. You get to pick which one. Good luck.

The Arizona Diamondbacks: Chaos Classic
The Diamondbacks are what I consider the �normal� playoff chaos. They eek their way into the playoffs and play spoiler for every playoff bracket out there. They swept both the Brewers and the Dodgers, possibly ended Clayton Kershaw�s and Lance Lynn�s careers, and still had time to take a nice dip in the pool afterwards. Hopefully they won�t scab on the road this time.
https://twitter.com/dbacks/status/1712327993023254747?s=46&t=lRl8HNC2dXvuRHcXaz1cXw
The Philadelphia Phillies: Feral Gremlin Energy
The Phillies are an odd bunch. And by odd bunch I mean they and the fans have that unhinged goblin energy that makes you glad they�re on your side. You have a mascot? They�ll skin them alive and make cheesesteaks on the roof. You chirp at a blunder they make? They have tshirts already made and will make you pay in spades. Bad news? Nick Castellanos already hit a deep home run to left. There�s no escape. Just ask Atlanta.

Go the Texas Rangers IMO

Honestly both NL teams are pretty cool, Corbin Carroll destroyed the Cubs playoff hopes almost single-handedly but I still love the way he plays and if my large adult son Kyle Schwarber has to lose to them then so be it.

Phillies and Diamondbacks are both cool teams, either will be granted the honour of seceding Texas.

Go Phillies.

I've been doing some deep dives on the CS lineups and what each team brings to the table and basically the Phillies have Garrett Stubbs so they're going to take it all, namaste.

I know everyone wants to copy the NBA pre/post game shows with Barkley and company, but I'll be honest: I just don't think anyone will come close to copying that magic. Closest is probably the Manningcast on the NFL, but they botch that with random rear end guest interviews in the middle of games.

Seems obvious and yet they still keep trying lovely formulas.

Not sure I'm sold on Garver in the 3 spot but Grossman is an absolute no and Garver's small sample size in the postseason is too stupid to ignore. Oh well, hope it becomes a non issue. Semien is the bigger problem right now.

To replicate a pre/post a la Barkley and company they first need to assemble a group of personalities as compelling together as Barkley and company and so far that ain't ever happened.
