I'll say Game 2. Braves sure did tempt the Baseball Gods but it appears they won't be snake bitten.
There’s something really odd about both teams celebrating. And now Eduardo Perez is tearing up over the breaking Rose news
Too many emotions at once for this member.

I’m sure the Mets are fine with the 6 and the Milwaukee/Philadelphia road rather than flying across the country for SD/LA given how tightly scheduled these series are.
I honestly thought this was a dodge to save him for the playoffs. But Chris Frail strikes again!
THERE'S the Sale we all know and love; lights out during season, now he can't go in round one.
So glad they traded him, good riddance.
Well he did really help the Sox get into the playoffs in 2018 and also pretty much vanished down the stretch. I'd still have taken that. Just get in. Who the hell knows who will look like Pedro Martinez for 2 or 3 playoff games before they revert back to their middling average MLB pitching selves?
Very true.
Much like the NHL where you can go far in the playoffs with a hot goalie, same for MLB, ride a hot pitcher or hitter to a WS win.
Sale gonna Sale.
This is my AL rooting order:
6. NY
5. Houston
4. Cleveland
3. Baltimore
2. Kansas City
1. Detroit
6. NY
5. Houston
4. Cleveland
3. Baltimore
2. Kansas City
1. Detroit
Tigers up 2-0 in the 2nd. Valdez not sharp at all.
This Detroit team is real easy to root for--even easier given their opponent.

Non-pitching hand, but that caught him flush on the underside of the wrist or maybe the heel of his palm.
For me I think it's:
1A & 1B. Detroit // Cleveland (this Guardians team is really fun and I like JoRam)
3. Kansas City
4. Baltimore

Yeah, it's a log scale for sure. I want NYY 1/10 as much as I want the Astros, which is 1/10 as much as I want Cleveland, and at that point, I just haven't watched many other teams play this year, so it's mostly a combination of rooting for underdogs and what teams were in the day.
I don’t remember what Cuellar pitched like except that he kind of had ownage on the Red Sox.
Watching teams consistently go the opposite way makes me so much more frustrated about what we watched the Red Sox bats do the second half of this season.
Totally. I haven't seen much of the Royals, and the Orioles wouldn't really bother me -- I know a couple long suffering Orioles fans.
As long as the Astros and Yankees don't win, I would be fine with any other team winning. And while I'm sure this will prove wrong, it feels like this year the best teams are in the NL -- Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers, Padres, surging Mets.
Apparently they just make cargo pants. I guess I'm inadvertently in on the boycott!
Both Houston and the Orioles being eliminated before my head hits the pillow tomorrow night would be really nice.
