Take Me Out...Yes...It's BASEBALL!

[KarateKen]

I'd like to see either the Marlins or the Brewers do it. The Brewers have never won a World Series and they have had some good teams in recent years. I do think that it will be Atlanta though also, probably against Baltimore, who has been fantastic this year. You never know though; crazy things can happen. This is the most excited I have been about MLB in years.

Twins, Rangers, Phillies, and Diamondbacks all winners on Tuesday and take the 1-0 series lead. I'd guess at least one team will advance on Wednesday, but not all. Here is the schedule again for day 2:

Wednesday, Oct. 4

TEX @ TB, Game 2, 3:08 p.m. ET (ABC)

TOR @ MIN, Game 2, 4:38 p.m. ET (ESPN)

AZ @ MIL, Game 2, 7:08 p.m. ET (ESPN2)

MIA @ PHI, Game 2, 8:08 p.m. ET (ESPN)

It's a very sad day!!

My beloved Yankees lost to the D-Backs Sunday with the final score of 7-1 which means for the first time since 2016 are NOT in the playoffs and haven't been to the WS since 2009. First losing season since 1992.

Only ray of sunshine is that our archrival, the Red Sox are behind the Yankees in last place!! As far as the playoffs and the WS are concerned, I just don't want the Astros to win the WS...please.

Until next season!!

I saw the Twins advanced, and there was some scuttle about the Jays pulling their pitcher.

Yep, I had that game on the radio and that was the discussion. Toronto went to the bullpen too soon and paid the price. Though the Blue Jays did get shut out.

Twins and Rangers both advanced, so the AL is set. Twins will face Houston while Texas, who ran through Tampa Bay, will take on Baltimore.

I was wrong, all four first round matchups ended in a sweep. No Thursday baseball as Arizona beat Milwaukee and Philly flushed the Marlins 7-1. Marlins were outscored 11-2 in the two-game series. Both Florida teams got run over, losing by a combined score of 22-3.

Philly will face Atlanta and Arizona will take on the LA Dodgers starting Saturday.

Rangers win and go up 2-0 on Baltimore. Twins take game 2 on Sunday against Houston and for the first time this postseason we have a tied series.
