This thread is for the wildcard games

rooting for Baltimore for two reasons....if somehow they make the WS the Cubs match up better and the other is simple...they play baseball outside on grass like its meant to be played

 

Definitely rooting for the Jays. Baltimore fans are really bad in general. They think everyone is out to get them all the time. Then there's lll the name calling and what not after the Cubs got Fowler instead of them, the extremely classy responses about karma when Schwarber got hurt. Combine that with an argument I had a few days ago from a Baltimore fan who said the Cubs are a sub 95 maybe even 90 win team in the AL East and I'm ready for that that one trick pony of a team to be done.

What in the hell is Saunders doing not scoring? You advance one base on a double?

Remember when the Cubs won 97 games and had to play in a wild card game?

 

Your argument is exactly like that.

I'm surrounded by Orioles fans here and have found most of them to be delightful.

Bedtime conversation with my 9yo son.

 

Me: Who do you want to win tonight?

Him: The Blue Jays

Me: Because they're blue? (His favorite color)

Him: No, because they're from Canada, and I like Canada. (He did a school project on Canada)

Me: Do you think you'd ever want to live there?

Him, smiling big: Only if Donald Trump wins!

 

He might've overheard a conversation or two at my house.... :lol:

Any thoughts on Lester starting Friday

Any thoughts on Lester starting Friday

Good choice

[gobigred]

Kinda surprised they didnt wait until the opponent was determined ...if its the Giants I just expect them to throw Bumgarner every game

[badger]

There have been some nice defensive plays in this game

[Tryptamine]

Any thoughts on Lester starting Friday

 

With the way SF struggles against lefties and with how hot Lester is coming into the postseason I think it's a no brainer. It also sets him up for either a 2nd start in the NLDS or possibly game 1 against the Dodgers, should they get past the Nats, who are also terrible against lefties.

I literally thought the exact same thing.

Every new stadium/renovation should be required to have a roof (fixed or retractable)

my whole worldview has just been shaken, Canadians aren't suppose to act like that

[sweetpeteman]

Oh look, a Blue Jays fan threw something on the field. Shocking

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wasn't it Toronto fans who threw water bottles on the field last year? I know this was just one fan, but still...

[NOLA]

I love the way Adam Jones went on a tirade after the fan.

4/5 on the Alou scale

[Tryptamine]

Watch Baltimore come out and rally now that they're pissed off following the water bottle incident.

 

edit: Make that beer can.

[expletive]. Alou stomped his feet, threw his glove and stormed away. Jönes was screaming at the fans for at least 30-45 seconds.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wait, are they booing Adam Jones because he was mad that a beer can was thrown at his teammate?

[NOLA]

Holy crap, the movement on Grilli's strike 2.

[Brian]

would probably rather the Orioles win.... but seeing a 'series' clinching walk off would be fun.

[NOLA]

Watching Adam Jones hit one to the restaurant in the 9th would be fun too.

I'm rooting for Baltimore, but seeing a Texas-Toronto rematch would be fun.

[Tryptamine]

Buck had better not make the mistake of giving up the lead before using the league's most dominant reliever.
