Absolutely--that's why I said the fans in the US long ago made this decision. Sure, teams celebrate winning the FA Cup, but it's a distant second to winning the EPL. It's the fans that have driven the revenue for these playoff systems--and it's the fans who don't really care about having the best record during the regular season.

Got tickets to Game 1 in Cleveland.

First playoff game I'll have been to in person since Game 5 of the 2004 NBA Finals
A buddy of mine just hooked me up with tickets to game 5. First base line row 2. My oldest son is only 6 and doesn't focus well on 1 thing for long periods of time so we are thinking he's still a little too young to appreciate it. So I'm lucky enough to be able to take my dad. Still my favorite moment in my life was being a punk 15 year old teenage boy, when my dad took me to game 5 of the '95 series. When Thome smoked his HR to dead center to put them up 5-2, which ended up being massive, it was my field of dreams moment with my dad with our most memorable hug of my lifetime. Pretty excited to get another experience with him tomorrow.

I'm seeing retractable canvas sails, akin to a pizza, Roman colosseum style.  Hand-pulled by volunteers.  $10K fix.

It's not like they have to get it ready in time for a playoff game.

Jesus.
Kopech threw a 100mph 2-seamer for a strike.  Then 102 at eye-level to get the K.

Stupid high walls in this park have kept it 1-0, instead of 3-0

You can play there in The Show, and my son and I do HR Derbys there.  You can just slap HRs the opposite way, but going up the middle is ill advised

Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez being on the same team is so frustrating

Tigers keep smashing balls off the top of the wall, and Cleveland ties it with one line drive single.


Not our day
