All the wrong teams are winning. I’m going to end up actually wanting a Red Sox win if this carries on.
I'm probably going to be cast out of the Evil Emp- well, it's basically an Evil City-State these days, but I will be cheering the Sawx vs the Cheating Ass Stros.
Hoping they lose to the National League representative now that I don't have the Cardinals to worry about, of course.
I liked the Braves in the early 1990s (typical young glory hunter). While I have no problems continuing to like a team from Atlanta, the whole tomohawk chop thing is very off putting.
I think the Brewers are a likeable team. The manager seems like a great guy, levelheaded, never caught out doing stupid stuff. He manages well. The team is balanced with good pitching, good defense, a mix of hitters. They would be my favorite if the Dodgers are knocked out.
Well, Buehler has the makeup to handle this, but it's a stupid move as I posted above. I don't know how Gonsolin did against the Giants this season and I understand that you have to win game 4 to get to a game 5 to get to the next round. But I expect that the reverberations of this move will be felt if all of that plays out.
Giants and Dodgers are tied at 109 wins if I remember the number correctly. And neither team has won two in a row during this playoff round, so Dodgers will need to break that to advance. I fear extra innings the way this is going.
Two more things about Dodgers-Giants. First, Dodgers have not scored in their two losses, so an early run would help me feel better (slightly). Second, obviously this was 5 games, but it comes down to one game. So, the one game wild card was about one game. This is now about one game. Again, it's different, I get it. But one game is one game.
I am wrong about baseball way more than I am right. I guess akin to just hoping to hit 300. The Dodgers are going with an opener tonight. It is such a stupid move. They have won 109 games and now are deciding to get cute with Knebel opening. And thinking back, many of the heartbreaks that happened with the Dodgers in the past 8 years is getting cute (most notably having a tired Kershaw pitch out of the pen but they made a mess of Gonsolin/Gray last year against the Braves by trying to get cute). Urias has proven to be one of the most effective post-season pitchers. Just start him. Go with what got you to 109 wins. Again, while I am wrong most of the time, but this move is so stupid. I fear that by the time I get home from work, the Dodgers will be down and the front office has another loss hanging over their head that everyone puts on Roberts.
Editing to build on that last sentence: The Yankees just fired a lot of their coaches, Those guys took the fall for Cashman's stupid architecture. Roberts is on the frontline, not the Dodgers brass.
