Oh god... imagine if the World Series somehow managed to end up being Milwaukee vs. Houston. This whole season should have a fucking asterisk behind it.
I've just enjoyed a game here and there being on broadcast TV, since I canceled cable in 2016.
They were on a roll and then had the rug pulled out. That's baseball, esp. when it's 2 outta 3.
Live by the long ball, and eventually you will die from the lack of it.
Isn't a 60 game season already one big
???Or did Manfraud decree it would be a "normal" season and we just had to avert our eyes?
Have you ever tried driving thru, or around Hot-lanta to get to South Florida? Whatta' hot friggin' mess, I thought I would die there a time or two, but I had my cloaking system up.

I've always said that baseball needed to expand its postseason by at least a couple teams. There are always teams that are on the cusp, but can't outspend the Yankees or Dodgers or Red Sox or are in a division where they just can't break through. I'm also happy to have a three game play-in instead of one game.

Indeed, it is. We timed it better going back north.
-----------------------------
And to add, I almost got whacked in N.Y.C. once when a similar type of jerk-wad "decided" that the lane of traffic that I was in was "better" than his and cut us off. But, I learned how to drive in snow when I was a kid, so I swerved outta of it. My shields were up and we made it to Old Yankee.
We can talk about Chi-town hi-ways some other time.
Every time I see some young prima donna make like he's going to charge the mound because someone came up and in to keep them from crowding the plate, I think of Bob Gibson. He used to say "I'll give you half the plate, but I won't tell you which half." I don't recall anyone ever charging the mound on him. Tim McCarver said he hated it when the manager sent him to the mound to stall for time when Gibson was pitching. He said the usual reception he got was "What are you doing here?" One time McCarver said Gibson told him "The only thing you know about pitching is you can't hit it!" He also held a grudge. Years after he retired he admitted he held grudges to the point where he hit a guy during an old-timer's game, because the guy pissed him off during their playing days. Quite a guy.

The Marlins have never lost a postseason series in their history.
Fuck it, let the team of destiny ride once more.
Also, RIP Cubs, it was a good run. I fully expect Kris Bryant to have a new home next season, along with potentially Contreras, and I expect the team to try and offer a below-market contract to Rizzo instead of exercising his $16 million option. Baez will likely be shopped, too, and potentially Schwarber. Tom Ricketts has made it abundantly clear he's never spending above the luxury tax threshold again, so I can't wait for another century of futility. Thank God we'll all be dead in 15 years.

If I had to have one game pitched for all the marbles, Gibson would be my guy. Along with Lou Brock, Al Kaline and Tom Seaver, we've lost a helluva team in 2020. Rest in peace all you guys.
Kenesaw Mountain Landis' name is being removed from the MVP award by the BBWAA (in a rare example of the BBWAA not having its collective head up its ass).
Somewhere, suddenly, a whole bunch of racist jackwagons who only just now learned his name was on the award are furious about the "destruction of history" going on here.
