You watched that game and thought it was a dud?Both offenses were so bad. Dud of a game.
Well, as they are constituted nowI m real excited for LAD vs SF. It’s cool it’ll be the first time in the playoffs.
I did. The pitching was nowhere as good as the final score. No plate discipline from either side.You watched that game and thought it was a dud?
Not sure if serious......Both offenses were so bad. Dud of a game.
2001, the year the Mariners won 116, the best team they played was the Yankees with 95 for 211What’s the most combined wins by teams in a postseason series? Sox and Astros combined for 212. Giants and Dodgers is 213.
They would not have home field advantage for the NLCS, but would for the World Series.If the Dodgers beat the Giants, will they still be on the road to start the NLCS and the World Series if they make it and the Red Sox don’t?
Unless the Braves win the NL.Well it’s official. We will finally start the WS on the road
You mean "baseball."I thought that was a really good game, but NL baseball borders on the absurd sometimes.

I disagree. Absurdity borders on baseball quite often.I thought that was a really good game, but NL baseball borders on the absurd sometimes.
Sort of. In 1962 they played a 2 of 3 tie breaker, both teams had 101 wins, to decide the 1962 season. Giants won but lost to the mfy in the WS.I m real excited for LAD vs SF. It’s cool it’ll be the first time in the playoffs.
Go Giants.
Don’t think so. They are a division winner.Unless the Braves win the NL.
There were teams with higher combined win percentages who played under the old 154 game schedule, but in terms of combined wins for playoff opponents this will set the record.2001, the year the Mariners won 116, the best team they played was the Yankees with 95 for 211
Imagine if you were on the East Coast. Game ended at 12:25 AM EST.4:15 for a nine-inning, 3-1 game is way, way, waaaaaaay too fucking long.
My daughter (11) is on the verge of going from casual baseball fan to devoted-fan but there's just NFW she's going to make it through games that long. Even the Sox game at 3:13 was a stretch for me.
That doesn't matter in the World Series, just in the DS and LCS.Don’t think so. They are a division winner.
I am.Imagine if you were on the East Coast. Game ended at 12:25 AM EST.
There was also the little matter of the three game series in 1951 finished off by the Shot Heard Round the World by Bobby Thompson.Sort of. In 1962 they played a 2 of 3 tie breaker, both teams had 101 wins, to decide the 1962 season. Giants won but lost to the mfy in the WS.
Dudes dig the long ball. (Two are not enough.)You watched that game and thought it was a dud?
I was going to say that but he did say SF vs LA.There was also the little matter of the three game series in 1951 finished off by the Shot Heard Round the World by Bobby Thompson.
Fair point. The older I get, the more I forget that the franchises moved around.I was going to say that but he did say SF vs LA.
Just amazing that the low-scoring NL game went an hour longer than Yankees-Red Sox, given their history.,4:15 for a nine-inning, 3-1 game is way, way, waaaaaaay too fucking long.

Seriously. I called this last night around 930pm ET.Just amazing that the low-scoring NL game went an hour longer than Yankees-Red Sox, given their history.,
I think this game is going to take longer than Sox-MFY. Who would have ever bet on that.
Yes go back to 13 divisional games and more games against your league opponents.I'm fine with the one-game, but the underlying structure needs to change. I always hated interleague with its inherent inequality of competetion, but then they added the unbalanced schedule. And THEN they added the play-in game. Combined, it all absolutely punishes good teams in better divisions.
I'd move to get rid of the unbalanced schedule altogether (19 games against one team is too fucking much) and to set up interleague by prior season records a la the NFL interdivisional schedule as opposed to rotating divisional matchups.
I know all the NL purist snobs always complain how long the AL games are compared to the non DH NL.Just amazing that the low-scoring NL game went an hour longer than Yankees-Red Sox, given their history.,
I remember one year(I live in the Philly area) the Phillies played the White Sox as many times as they played the Cubs????? That's nuts!!I'm fine with the one-game, but the underlying structure needs to change.

That game doesn't count anymore, because the loathsome, dirty, fraudulent, cheating Giants used technology to steal signals.There was also the little matter of the three game series in 1951 finished off by the Shot Heard Round the World by Bobby Thompson.
