MLB Playoffs 2016.

[SpeedyHog]

My pick to win the world series is the Red Sox. Sorry Cub Fans. On a side note I thought some Blue Jays fans were classless last night. SMH

I'd say at least twice. I feel for Odor. He gonna get decked by a pitch in Toronto.

The Toronto fans are the worst in MLB

I agree. That Guy who throw the bottle better be glad it did not hit Kim. He'd definitely facing charges if it made contact with Him.

He's already facing charges. Police are asking that he turns himself in, and that "they have pictures"

Good to hear. I hope He get's prosecuted and thrown in jail. I fear for the safety of the Texas Rangers players while in rogers stadium. Hostile place.

Maybe it's something in the water in Toronto this time of the year.

I hope Texas takes out Toronto in the ALDS. I think they will.

same here

[southarkhog06]

I like chaos, so I hope it goes a full 5.

As for who I'm rooting for, I dunno. Toronto has the most classless fanbase, but I got so tired of hearing Rangers fans bitch and moan all offseason about the batflip, I dunno if I can root for them either.

[SpeedyHog]

Don't worry Cards fans... we got this.  Again.

I'd be scared Cub Fans. It's a even year and the Giants are still alive and ticking.

As a Royals fan, I know all too well about MadBum's dominance. If he's not on that roster, Royals win back to back WS.

Dude doesn't have a pitch count. I'm convinced he could throw 400 pitches.

[cosmodrum]

Don't know if you saw, but the doosher turned himself in.

[GolfNut57]

Don't know if you saw, but the doosher turned himself in.

The so-called doosher did turn himself in but claims it wasn't he that threw the beer. He states that he was drinking from a plastic cup and also alleges that twitter pics can back him up on it.

Then why did he bail immediately?

Cards fan here, I have a lot of friends that are Cubs fans & their disdain for the Cards is so strong, they were happy to see the Giants in the playoffs instead of us. I have repeatedly warned them about "Even Year Devil Magic" and that we would be an easier opponent, but they think they are fine since they handled the Giants in the regular season.

Cub Fans should ask Card Fans how the 2012 matchup went in the playoffs. Giants in the playoffs are a different animal then in the regular season.

I am a cubs fan, its the playoffs you should be very concerned about every team you play. I don't like the matchups of any team left in the NL. However I really want this series for 2 reasons:

1. Any attempt to talk baseball with my Giants fan friends this year has gone like this,

ME: [insert discussion about, player, team stats, ect.]

Giants fan: yea but its an even year, and Madbum is the bestestestestest!!!!!!!

2. Madison Baumgardner has the emotional maturity of my 3 yo daughter.

I'll say this, he was practically unhittable in the 2014 WS. All we could do is tip our hat.

I have the Cubs getting upset in this series. Giants move on

let me guess: yea but its an even year, and Madbum is the bestestestestest!!!!!!!

I'm not doubting his talent and X-factorness. Dude is nails, he just comes from the Sale, Greinke, Dyson mold of pitchers.

They are playing some great Baseball right now and like You said it's a even year.

[southarkhog06]

I guess, before the WC game they swept a resting dodgers team in 3, and before that won against the rockies in 3, before that a 3 game series loss at the dodgers and two 4-game splits to the Cards and Padres.

11-9 in their last 20, you can say that you think the dodgers series gave them the momentum to make a run and that you believe in the even year voodoo. I don't think you can make a case for them playing great baseball right now.

I don't trust the Cubs in the playoffs. There is a reason the Cubs have not won a world series in what 96 years? Anyways I am glad My Cards has two world series Championships in last 10 years. 4 WS Appearances in that span. Just watching the playoffs this year. No team to root for.

They haven't won since 1908 I think it is. 108 years ago.

[GolfNut57]

So who wins the five game set between Boston and Cleveland? And will it go five games?

[SpeedyHog]

They haven't won since 1908 I think it is. 108 years ago.

Yeah it's 108 years. My bad.

Oh I get it now, a Cards fan. The Cubs having any success is eating at you so bad that you are hoping the Giants can do what your team couldn't.

This will be a tough series you may get your wish.

It's not eating at Me. I am enjoying a relaxing October. Those 2 World Series Championships and 4 WS appearances has Me content.

[southarkhog06]

Holy cow!!!! What a game!!!!!

Maybe bochy should tell cueto to worry more about  pitching than doing cutesy windups.

[cosmodrum]

The Rangers piss me off. Give these doucheweeds a game.

Yeah there's a reason they haven't won in 108 years, it's because they haven't had the team that they have right now in 108 years. I'm a Cards fan, so I can't stand the Cubs, but the team they have assembled is unbelievably good and is going to be for quite some time. If not this year, that streak is going to end very soon.

[southarkhog06]

The blue Jays, have learned an amazing thing. If you go with the pitches and use the big part of the field instead of swinging for the second deck all night can yield good results.

[Dr. Starcs]

Man, I know it'd be different if it was my team, but some of these games are like watching soccer.

[clutch]

Cubs fans may finally get to see that World Series win happen at Wrigley tonight that they've been waiting their whole life for. Unfortunately for them, it will be the visitors winning if they do.
