Bonus Playoff Game Thread

We get three games today! I’m hoping Cleveland can even their series up while Atlanta and SD get one step closer to advancing.

Side note, I looked on StubHub for Padres tickets for tomorrow and yikes!

Meanwhile we stood pat and sat with our thumbs up our YKW and also watched Billy Eppler, Alex Anthopoulos, and San Diego’s AJ Preller spend money and make massive earth shaking deals to better themselves over the past few years and the results speak for themselves. BTW two other sports teams in our area, how about those Lakers and the Rams too? Our you going to say they shouldn’t have done so? We own MLB’s current longest consecutive streak of losing seasons…….Not the Pirates, Royals, Orioles, Tigers, or the Marlins, NOPE WE DOO!!

Since you really dig losing I wonder if they hate the Mariners?

“Pathetic”…,look in the mirror.

I’m almost afraid to ask, who is the ‘family’ you are referencing?

You never did say why you or the other CTPG 80%ERS hate the Mariners. So if GPD left the Mariners to go work for the Marlins, or the Rockies You’d still hate him or his new team? He wouldn’t be in the same division or same league anymore. The fact is since he left, this team has been in the toilet (Eppler’s time with scouting and player development was arguably the worst 5 yr stretch in team history (Reid Detmers and?…………). Siding with Soth and Albert (ahhh…….80%ers hate him too LOL!!!!) was Art*ro’s stupid folly and it’s shown that Dipoto was on the right side of history after all.

Well, I think this is actually like a Game 7 for both teams, because if Dodgers pull it out there is no way the Padres win a final game at Dodger Stadium against Urias.

Hmmm. Not sure. There is Machado, and after that who is an a-hole ?

On the Dodgers you have Muncy who is definitely also an a-hole, and then a bunch of jerks like Justin Turner (selfishness during WS celebration etc).

I agree with you on Turner, but I actually like Muncy. Betts and Kershaw are pretty likable superstars. I think it’s probably their fans who are the unlikeable component.

Also in Philly Bryce Harper has kinda straightened up his act some since his days as a National.

We definitely disagree on Muncy. But I agree about Kershaw and probably Betts as well. Those might be the only two guys on the team that I think I could like… And of course you are right on about the fans. There are surely the the most obnoxious and worst part of the Dodgers and their aura.

What’s wrong with Muncy? He seems like an unheralded blue collar guy who made good. I also like tht he looks like he should be in a beer league. Lux seems like a douche but who cares.

I was actually thinking about him last night. He’s been a totally hateable ahole in the past for sure, but has he done anything lame lately? I can’t recall him assing out for a while. Maybe he’s gotten his act together now that he’s a little older….

Remind them for me……if they don’t win the WS it’s a horribly disappointing season and a big waste of time.

I’m in a bar full of em tonight. Already had a negative interaction with a total stranger who apparently has seen me in a Padres hat in the past (I do have one). He and his increasingly courageous/drunk friends have been over at the other end of the bar deciding my fate all night and throwing looks at me ever since I admitted my sin of hat ownership.

Friggin Doyer fans.

And…. their team just lost…

Got Heaney out of the game, good. Minus the home run, solid.

3 innings, 2 hits, 1 run and 4Ks.

People may not follow him like I do and might be surprised, 72 innings pitched with 110Ks this year. Overall…1.09 WHIP.

Yet the best current Doyer pitcher we should have kept is Almonte not Heaney.
