I like the WC game format, but then I think seeding should be done by record.  So I'm good with the Dodgers having to play the WC game, but now they should get the #2 seed.

Helluva game for 9 innings.

Now in he NL, we'll have the 107 and 106 win teams playing each other and the 88 and 95 win teams playing. 
Idiocy. 
Well if this was 1993, the Giants win 103 and don't even get a WC game.  It's not like this happens often or even at all.

That was a great year.  
I'm sort of an expert on that season in particular because Ken Griffey Jr baseball for the Super Nintendo came out after it and you could edit the roster names to be accurate.  I played the shit out of that game.  The background music is ingrained in my mind forever.

Tampa Bay Rays are 26th out of 30 in MLB payroll, but possibly the best in the American League at baseball. How do they do it?

We had decent seats today in a game the White Sox sure had chances to win.

Traditional thinking and herd mentality?

Horrid baserunning all around in this matinee.  Brewers suspect offense getting exposed here in this series at the moment.

Pounding the ball hard today right into mitts.   Keeler's advice ignored at Brewers' peril.

So the team that finished 8 games back beats the division-winner 1 seed in a five game series.
Playoffs are dumb.

...unless they screw up their pitching rotation and lose to the Braves in the next round.

Also, postseason games should never take 4 hours + to play 9 innings of baseball.
