This one is great but my personal favorite is last years game over the Yankees when Jose walked it off before AS break. The "I will be your father" song and clip was just glorious
Quit bringing in logic when the Damn Yankees are in the middle of crashing & burning.
But on the other hand, if Cleveland wins tonight we have a day with no baseball tomorrow. Hmmm ....

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Astros need to use some of the money saved with Pena/Correa to keep her on the "team".
“We still had 100 pitches after Luis could have been done,” pitching coach Josh Miller said. “We could have played 30 innings today.”

Yep. And **** Plaschke who got in a dig at the Astros saying how the Dodgers were cheated out of a World Series in 17. You lost two games at home!

If both had to pitch, we then had Verlander for game 4 and Framber for game 5 with a normal-ish bullpen.
We were actually in an ok spot all things considered.

He should be celebrating the Dodgers cheap ass Covid year championship where the season was 60 games long. Talk about a weak ass World Series. No roadies in the playoffs, no grind of a 162 game season where talent gets injured, etc.
What a convenient narrative to not talk about with regards to the Dodgers and them being cheated. **** them and the media who continue to ignore the accomplishment in the modern era of getting to 6 straight ALCS's. Are you ****ing kidding me???
So for everyone keeping track, the Dodgers, Mets, Braves and Yankees have spent roughly $1.02 billion for a grand total of 413 regular season meaningless wins and 4 when it counted. Three of them are now playing golf and one is on life support.
The Red Sox, Angels and White Sox are into it for roughly $630 million for the right to not get humiliated and started playing golf last week.
The Houston Astros just keep going about their business propping up local champagne merchants.

Man, I want so badly for the Astros to win another World Series so they can shove that trophy up the ass of the commissioner. It would burn the baseball establishment to the ground on top of that as the high brow purists heads would explode. **** MLB.
I'm sure someone on here has already mentioned it on here but Ford's call on Pena's home run is an instant classic in my book.EastCoastAgNc said:The @astros sweep the Mariners to advance! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/54wpP5YHRp

Oops wrong tweet I meant to quote this one
Good morning to everyone but Seattle, #SeaUsRise fans & anyone still calling the @astros “cheaters” over a season that was 5+ years ago. Six consecutive ALCS appearances later, Houston would love to tell you where you can stick that opinion. (What up, @Dodgers?) #LevelUp 🤘🏼🔥 pic.twitter.com/YhtUPOsBye

Notes on this historic @Astros run:
— Todd Kalas (@RealToddKalas) October 16, 2022
Braves dominated the 90's going to 8 straight NLCS's 1991-93 (Strike 1994) then '95-'99
HOU is the first MLB team to reach 6 CS's in 6 years.
Also, the DS was introduced in '95, so HOU becomes the first with 6 straight CS's by winning a series!
Basically chandler pointed out that his individual results this series were bad, Jose basically gave him a WGAF, we won the series.MosesHallRAB04 said:BCSGrubber said:cone said:

Link? I heard Sparks, but not Ford
no lingering question about how Bellinger fell off a cliff
Mathguy64 said:You want the team you play to have a wrecked pitching staff. Cole today means he's game 3 in the LCS and that's it. Playing game 5 they will use Cortez and who knows. The Yankees will be a wreck. Game 5 means Cleveland uses Bieber on short rest and he's not available until game 4.MisterFurious said:McInnis said:
So is it better for the Yankees to lose today or extend the series one more game and burn both team's pitching staffs?
Lose today. No question.
You want game 5 here.
Fair enough, but my point is that I'd rather face the Cleveland staff, than the Yankees. Series doesn't start until Wednesday, so either way, you're going to face Cole twice if it goes 6 or more. That's where I'm coming from when I say I'd rather the Yankees just go away now.
Obviously, I'd rather them get beat in a game 5, but if I had to leave it to chance, I'd take em getting beat today. Make sense?
Cleveland's pitching completely shut down the stros not that long ago.
Bring on either team but after wild games 4 and 5

With all the humor pointed at NYY, NYM, ATL and LAD, baseball seems to have created a playoff system that is even more geared to reward a hot team. WC teams seemed to win before but now they are really rewarded. They Bye team sits for 6 days while the WC team plays. That really seemed to affect teams. And the only penalty to the WC team is they throw their 1 on game 2. So their rotation really isn't messed up. In fact it may be an advantage as they effectively pitch backwards. A 4th starter in game 1 followed by a 1 and 2 against a team throwing a 2 and 3.
MLB really should create a system to reward teams for winning their Division. I'm not sure but that they haven't done just the opposite.

Fixed above. Stayed up into the wee hours this morning, still woke up early for mass and the good Father had a short homily so I didn't even have time for a quick nap. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
the only thing that should change to favor the division winners is a 7 game DS
otherwise that's the beauty of baseball, you have to build a team for two win conditions simultaneously
it's a deeper game from a planning perspective

I guarantee with the teams that fell and the hated Astros moving on there will absolutely be an adjustment to schedule next year. And I agree it should be adjusted to cater to top seeds.
But I love how it went down this year.
This has already made my day:
Sitting in the hotel restaurant this morning and a rough looking M's fan noticed my shirt and said, "good game, last night sucked, and I'm paying for it this morning." I asked him what was his drink of choice last night and he said with a straight face, "My own tears."

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
The biggest thing that got me was the day off between games 1 and 2 for the ALDS. That made no sense and was only a help for the WC team.
Sightseeing today since we wrapped it up last night?
