Jays need to fire their manager for missing the playoffs with that roster.

I look forward to (maybe) in a decade's time when the hatred for the Yankees wanes finally.

J.D. Martinez is officially out of tonight's Wild Card Game after suffering an ankle injury on Sunday in Washington. That's a colossal loss for the Red Sox. Martinez's performance has dipped a bit since the All-Star break, hitting only .268/.320/.467, when he was slashing .299/.371/.556 before the midsummer classic, but the lineup gets a LOT thinner without him.
Now you're looking at Christian Arroyo starting tonight rather than Martinez because of all the necessary lineup shuffling that will take place. That's a massive downgrade against one of the best pitchers in the league.

And I think I gave myself a concussion slamming my head against the wall. This f***ing team.

Joe West to retire. So long and good riddance. If only he can take Angel Hernadez with him. The day Angel retires will be one of the greatest baseball days of my lifetime. Yeah, Joe West is a self-important dick who thinks way too highly of himself, but at least he was generally a good umpire. Angel Hernandez is a self-important dick who thinks way too highly of himself and he's also a really awful umpire.

I think the Rays will win it all. It feels like their year, being the best team in the AL, winning 100 games for the first time in their history, every other AL playoff team looking iffy in terms of being a top contender. I'll go Rays over Giants in the WS. (I think SF will have enough to make it to the World Series and to contend, but the Rays will use experience and the fact that they lost the WS last year as that extra something to put them over the top.)

I’m still just in awe the Giants won 107 games, beat the Dodgers for the Division, and I don’t have to stress about anything for 3+ more days.
I haven’t even begun to think about predictions. And I’m dangerously close to just being “HAPPY TO BE HERE!” level! Lmao

And I’m dangerously close to just being “HAPPY TO BE HERE!” level! Lmao I mean nothing wrong with that tho This team easily went over their projected win total by at least 30 wins with no real roster or superstar upgrades. People played above their means and Giants have money to spend in the offseason. I think they keep Bryant and a few other of the pitchers they got and don't really go out there and spend crazy I can see them going hard after Max Scherzer tho

October can break any number of ways, as we saw Atlanta be a play away from beating the Doyers last year. Just need that rotation to hold up and timely hitting.

I don't know what will happen. Watching this Yankee all year, I can't predict especially the offense. They could get shut out, they could score 10 runs, I don't know. But I do know this is a legacy game for Cole. If he doesn't deliver, he is going to be criticize and would deserve it.

Can't believe we're at the postseason already. I'm going to predict Dodgers over White Sox.

For some reason I am not that nervous. Either the Yankees advance that is great, or they lose, I get a break from the stress till April, and Boston has to deal with Tampa. Anyway I am glad this is just 1 game, it will be over one way or another tonight.
Being realistic here, this is probably playing for the right to get destroyed by Tampa.
