No baseball scheduled on a Saturday, and a consecutive SUNDAY. Come’on Manfred, who did the scheduling?

Likely because they know CFB and NFL would destroy them in ratings.

Not only did all the CA teams besides the Angels make the playoffs… they won their first round. Jesus, this makes the Angels season even more pAthetic.

Completely forgot about the Giants missing the playoffs. So then, every other SoCal team made it/advanced…

I am pretty sure if you are from StLouis the game was not much fun, but boy if you wanted the Padres it was great and the crazy pitching, well Wow.

Marlins vs. Braves features some nice young talent. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of either. Guess I’ll root for the underdog, but I think Altanta stands a better chance against the Dodgers.

It’s playoff Marlins. They haven’t lost a playoff series EVER

Poor Bartman. You knew they’d show that clip at some time. Poor guy just won’t ever be able to live a normal life again.

I know he moved to Florida for a while, which is basically leaving the country.

It’s a pitcher’s duel so far, although Darvish is getting ready to walk Joyce.

I’m rooting for the Cubs today. A) more baseball if they win B) not keen on the Jeetahs
