Braves had better record than Phillies.
White Sox had a better record than Astros.
Yankees had a better record than Red Sox.
And Padres had a better record than Cubs.

So the screwy format – so far – is working itself out.

Way too many people in the Sox-Yanks booth; Girardi, Rizzo, Merloni and the play-by-play. Messy to my ears.

Good game.

Gone…and right back in it, too bad the Sox left the bases loaded in the top of the 5th.

The White Sox are my new AL rooting interest this post season.

They are a lot of fun.

I will never root FOR them because of 2005 but I am hoping they crush Houston this week

Ohhhh… I didn’t think and realize, of course MLB will fk us all by making it so I have to get Peacock in order to watch half the wildcard games. Cause the most important thing is to grow the sport. Silly me, I thought I’d just get off work and watch a game.

Ah well. Football season is here….

I have Peacock and I have no intention of watching the games, since the NHL starts today.

I may try to catch the Padres, since they are my second favorite team, but the games would have to go to extra innings to catch any of them.

I really like the White Sox.

Just very serious At-Bat by the Sox.

3-0 and they look really good offensively.

Braden, Teel, and Meidroth all acquired from the Crochet trade.

Maybe a Detmers trade can do something similar this winter?

I like the White Sox because as a “worst to first” team, I’m hoping the Angels can do the same.

I’ll go on record as being against a Detmers trade, especially until we see who’s in charge, who’s making player personnel decisions. Should Nimmala learn to lay off balls out of the strike zone low and away I’d think a Neto trade would make more sense. I’m in favor of keeping our top pitchers.

Thanks Charles!

I mainly wanted to say that watching the White Sox see 30+ pitches in the first inning really reminded me that plate discipline should be the FIRST thing we look for in batters.

Also, D-Cell with the save for the Braves was cool.

All I got.

Thanks for the thread for me to scream into the void!

Thanks Charles!!
Braves v Phillies was awesome. Riley’s 3 run HR a great way to start the post season.
Marsh came off the bench and got a single off Iglesias too.
