Dolfan in NYC Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Since I'm going to forget to do this when I get home from the gym and/or will need to think fast for a pithy Raw title... The official start to the playoffs is tomorrow! The Cubs and Rockies will face off in the NL Wild Card game. The Yankees will host Oakland in the AL Wild Card game on Wednesday. Then starting Thursday... The NL Wild Card winner gets Milwaukee in the NLDS. And the Braves will travel to the Ravine to face LA. On Friday... Cleveland goes to Houston in what should be a great series. And the AL Wild Card winner gets to be swept by Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Are there Braves fans on the board? Or do I just have to run my mouth about to no one in particular about how I think that Acuna and Albies and Culberson and Freeman are pretty scary and have decent shot at being heartbreakers in this series. I love Dansby Swanson, and while it's a bummer he fucked up his hand, I'm not going to complain if he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering his profile says he hasn't visited since 2016 I doubt it... though I guess folks could be technically lurking as a guest Kris is probably the closer one to maybe still visiting but I remember him making a comment that he gave up on the message board life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Jesus fucking Christ. All I want is for the Rockies to somehow get to the World Series. My eight year old nephew has become a Rockies fan and a ballplayer, thanks to me. I coached his first year in Little League this past Summer. All I ask is that the Rockies make it to the World Series and lose. So we can truly bond as baseball fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'll accept all your "Thank You"s for the gracious way the Cardinals stepped aside to give these two desperate teams the chance to live through this hell night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Doing the whole Contreras thing, at what point do the umpires step in and tell Maddon "take him out or get off the field?" There was some great heeling and stalling by the Cubs that inning, it was infuriating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of going along with the hug he should've been howling like Bobby Eaton insisting Ricky Morton pulled his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 at least the hug probably pissed Daniel Murphy off. So there's that consolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
