Idiot, it should have been decided weeks ago.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Giants finally break through in SD. 1-0 in the 8th.

 

[Halladay]

They were getting 1 hit through 7.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Dave Roberts with the best reaction to a grand slam I've ever seen

 

[NJDevs26]

The funny part is when he threw the bat and I saw the outfielder running toward right center I was like oh good god, this is gonna be just one more **** you moment. But no finally, FINALLY the Mets got the storybook ending they should have had two other times in the last two nights.

 

[Virtanen18]

Asdrubal has been so good. Not sure who I want to miss out of NYM, SF, and STL.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Do stadiums now have a visible clock that runs between innings? Dodger Stadium has that.

 

[Virtanen18]

Heyman said the Yanks wanted Joe Panik from the Giants for Andrew Miller.

I am sure ESPN will interview 75 former old school players and they will hate it. I am sure social media is probably going on and on about it. the EE batflip last year didn't bother me.
if he gets plunked tomorrow so be it. hit him in the ribs or something and get it done and over with. I just don't want to get into a stupid beaning war. no need to get guys hurt on either side by stupid crap.

Agreed with all this. Hitters don't cry when pitchers excessively celebrate.

At least it looks like there won't be another Giants/Cardinals NLCS. I want the Mets to miss.

Sometimes on a game winning walkoff you can get away with it and not see any retaliation. I don't see anything happening today since Hellickson is not a guy I see throwing at anyone

The only team that will be in the playoffs that I can stomach is the Cubs. The rest I cant stand. Id prefer the AL Champion to win.

Personally I'd like all of them to miss but feel like the Cards would probably give the Cubs the best run for their money so I very grudgingly would go for them. Then followed by Mets. then Giants.

The Tigers are my second favorite team so if the Cubs don't win, I'd be happy if the Tigers did.

if it is the Redsox again I will puke.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Only other AL I would be OK with winning the WS would be Cleveland. Boston and Texas would feel gross. I don't particularly like or hate the O's (if they make it) but I guess Bautista has made them a rival now.

In the NL it has to LA or Nats or I will be sad.... so I will probably be sad.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

going to be another game where the Mets rely heavy on the bullpen. Matz has been scratched from his start and it is hopeful this isn't going to lead to him being shut down for the year. Gabriel Ynoa will start tonight. he pitched well his last start but could only go 4 2/3 against the Twins.

angels stadium has that too

pretty sure all parks have it

 

[Hire Sather]

Since Snydergaard was tossed immediately when he hit Utley, I expect the Phillies pitcher to be tossed straight away if he throws at Cabrera tonight

 

[Pwnasaurus]

The Cards lineup today makes me think Matheny is hopeful Maddon sees it early and decided that it's just a scrimmage and puts a bunch of Coghlan, LaStella, Seizure and whoever else isn't best.

Turner Field had one when I was there two weeks ago.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

They all do.
