Our game 4/5 times are 100% dependent on who wins tomorrow. If it's SF the NLCS games would be in Atlanta. If it's LA those games are in LA.

Ah, thought both SF & LA would have home field because of their record. But I guess ATL gets home field because they won the division
But in the World Series, it doesn't matter. Best record gets home field. How jacked up is that?


You rather it be the winner of the ASG?

I think his point is that for the CS a wild-card team can't get home field but in the WS they throw that rule out the window and it's best season record.

Joe Buck is like Nickelback or Arby's. None of them are bad. People only hate them because the Internet tells them to.

Nickelback is bad.

But who hates Arby's?


Raises hand… Hate is a bit strong, but Arbys is never something I "want" to eat

Ok...That's a bit of a stretch.

And can we just enjoy this run instead of posting every Carlos rumor and spreading of the OMG he's gone doom and gloom?


Here's a rumor without the doom and gloom. Granato on 97.5 said this morning (take source with grain of salt) his buddy was in Diamond Club when he saw Crane. Tried to give Crane a hundred bill and said "this is for the Carlos fund". Crane replied "thanks but we don't need it - we got this!"
I choose to believe this is good news!

No...I'm saying it's jacked up to have a rule that says the wild card can't have home field in the LCS regardless of record but can in the World Series. Be consistent.

If you are still looking for ticket, get over to the astros site. They just released a bit more in the field boxes. Some really close.

My opinion of Joe Buck changed after watching him on "Brockmire". If you haven't watched Brockmire, you're missing out. Joe Buck is hilarious in his guest appearances on the show, playing a caricature of himself. At the very minimum, the guy doesn't take himself too seriously.

I still prefer the local broadcast team, but Buck/Smoltz/Verducci could decent.

Just want to jump in and say Brockmire is a hilarious show and I think most on here would enjoy it. It

Lunhow's wife? With some positive vibe comments
thinking about the 2015 draft 1st round...

#2 overall Alex Bregman
#5 overall Kyle Tucker

that may be greatest 1st round draft ever for an MLB organization
<looking at self in mirror> you're not going to waste time going through every team's first round draft history to see, are you?

For those that care, there's an exchange about free agency translated on the same account. I won't post it here since folks *****ed the last time I posted something like that

I read it. Good stuff. My take away is that Correa isn't necessarily looking for the largest contract, but that he wants a big one that makes sense. He says taxes play a lot into the decision. He mentioned a $270 number in Houston compared to 350 in L.A., saying the Houston contract is better.

I really need Saturday to start before 4. I'm thinking either way the night game is NL as they have a west coast team.

Good Golly... are they really taxed THAT much in Commifornia? That's insane.

I would say perhaps some of that calculation takes cost of living differences into effect. But even if that were the case... for someone as rich as a highly paid baseball player at some point what most of us think of as normal "cost of living" differences become negligible, outside of perhaps super high end real estate.
