Get tickets early. Their attendance was strong this year. Always lots of Sox fans driving up demand.
Hope San Diego goes deep so Adam can pitch more. Dude is awesome and should have more appearances than one 2 inning shot for an overrated Rays team.
They essentially got Cease in that deal also (after flipping Drew Thorpe) plus Higgy the Hero. Good deal for both teams!
Brewers are just the NL version of the Twins. Win the central division, come up small in October. 1-9 in their last 10 playoff games.
I know that most of you blamed Payamps for not getting over, but mlb article agrees with me that Iggy's hustle dominated the play that turned the momentum for the Mets.

MLB.com has reporters covering each team. That story was written by the Mets reporter. Here is the description of the play, as written by the Brewers reporter.

Yeah, that inning wasn't just a Payamps, though, IIRC. Chourio and Adames both mis played balls as well. Hard to keep a team from scoring a bunch of runs when you give them 6 outs in an inning, especially in the pitch clock era, where it all falls apart faster than the time it took Josh Beckett to throw one pitch.
They may not be counting the Adames play, as it was a tough, but imho makeable, play. It wasn't an error, though, if that makes sense.
Detroit continues to impress me (and everyone else, I guess). Pitching, defense, etc.
Earlier in the game, the third baseman made a great catch and got the out at first; in the next half-inning, the Astros 3bman failed to do that.

Two minutes of ads and promos before the game starts.
edit: I just made that up. I have no idea.
Two minutes out of hours are in the noise. The only things that start on time within a minute or two are German trains.
I'm not a believer in the "patchwork" opener strategy in the playoffs, just way too much can go wrong, especially as hitters get more familiar with relievers throughout a series. Detroit might have enough to finish off Houston though, if the Astros keep squandering opportunities.
Yeah. The only thing better would be seeing Hinch pull these rabbits out of his pen against the NYY.
Yippee! 1-0 Tiggers on homer by Meadows.

It's kind of shocking that a playoff team is starting Vince Caratini at 1B and Jason Heyward in LF in 2024.
As the person who selected Heyward in round 1 of our SoSH real fantasy draft in like 2012, it is utterly befuddling.
Hunter Brown might be a bit of a red-ass (but I’d still take him on the Red Sox in a nanosecond).
