Baseball Playoffs.
Who's watchin?
Who's gonna ring that bell this year?
Sucks the Jays aren't in it but they did it to themselves against the Yankees. One bad inning is all it took.
With the Yankees out I have no villain to cheer against although the cheeting 'Stros are easy to dislike also.
I have no prediction. Hoping its the usual super exciting playoffs as always.
Can't get enough of that playoff ball!

Love playoff ball. Too bad it’s generally the same teams ever year. No parity in the MLB. Need the $ to be competitive year in year out.
With Jays out, go Brewers go.

It will be the Giants or the Dodgers.
The Jays didn’t lose because of the Yankees series. It was the horrendous bullpen in June.

Love playoff ball!!!! I am a diehard Yankee fan so no joy in mudville for me!!!!
Jays had 4 100 rbi hitters, a cy young candidate, and a mvp candidate and miss playoffs!!!!
LA 106 wins and have to play a wildcard!!!!!
Rays are my pick. No 10 game winner and still the class of the American league.
Have to admit, with my team out I will watch WS but will pay more attention to hockey come next week. Me a Habs fan............... the start is going to be tough!!!!!

American League all the way
I am still bummed out that the Jays didn't make it. They had the best stats (apart from winning games lol) in MLB for so many categories........if only they had better pitching in the early season.
So onward, I'm rooting for the Rays :/

Blue Jays middle relievers killed them all year, with the exception of Cimber and Richards.
I'm predicting the Rays and Giants in the World Series. Tough to bet against Houston and the Dodgers though.

Since the Jays are out, hoping to see the Brewers go all the way, but if it comes down to the expected big dogs then the Giants are my pick...
Love the playoffs!

Glad to see I'm not the only one super excited over playoff ball. Once you get into it, it's tough to beat. Every play can have a HUGE effect on the game and the whole series itself. Momentum is EVERYTHING. I just cant get enough of it. It's SOOOO exciting!
I'm getting to watch it this year on my new 4K projector with a 120" screen, it's almost life size. Being used to regular HD & now seeing it in 4K, WOW!
The colour and clairity are INSANE. Coupled with my over the top home theater it's so lifelike, it's almost like being there.
Been a few great games already, looking forward to some barn burner slug fest's.

WOW! What a couple of GREAT games today.
That Red Sox / Ray's game was a gooder. 13 Innings with a walk off dinger to win it.
As is this White Sox / Cheeters game. I mean Astros, whoops.
Looks like the White Sox had other plans than going quietly into the night.
Their bats have EXPLODED.
Playoff ball at it's finest..

I missed the game yesterday because i don't have a 4K tv. Didin't even know that "Sportsnet4K" channel was a thing. Selected Sportsnet4K on my remote and I got the response that I couldn't watch without a 4K tv!

Yup, my couple year old HD TV wont get the 4K channel, only regular old HDTV. Man is that 4K unbelievable, you can count the blades of grass & see what the guy in the 25'th row has on his Hot Dog, just incredible.
So much for the Brew Crew making a run. Been some incredible games so far in the DS and the CS should be some games for the ages.
Looks like old habits die hard for the cheating Astros. They cant loose fast enough for me, bunch of cheaters!

Can anybody beat the Bo-Sox right now?
3 Grand Slams, 2 in one game. Dinger after Dinger after Dinger.
That dugout laundry cart is sure getting a workout.
They are smashing them almost over the wall BEHIND the Green Monster, not just over it. They are SMASHING it right now.
Glad to see the cheating Astros getting worked over like this.
I think it's theirs to loose right now.

The Astro's are not the only ones. People just cried more.
Before the 2018 season, Joe Torre, the league’s chief baseball officer and a former New York Yankees manager, issued a warning to all teams that they could not use the video replay system or electronic devices to steal signs.
The directive stemmed from another episode, involving the Red Sox in 2017, when the team relayed stolen sign information using videos to an athletic trainer in the dugout who was wearing a smartwatch. M.L.B. fined the Red Sox an undisclosed amount, with Manfred warning that future violations by teams would lead to penalties against managers and general managers.
GO HOUSTON ! it ain't over till it's over

I've settled on my alternate team. All in for the Braves to win. Bring out the tomahawks!
Hate the Red Sox. I like Devers though

How can you not like Kike? Always an underrated player. Now playing way over his head. The Sox make the ws and he is the mvp. Doesn’t matter what he does from now.

Sure, Kike is having an amazing run, but he is on an enemy force that is stacked with enemies 😀. I like Dever because of his antics at the plate. He is very entertaining in his own right. I’m going to wear the wife’s pearl necklace while watching the Braves chop up the Dodgers this afternoon. It’s “Joctober” time⚾️🕺🏽⚾️

LOL, I’m hoping for a Sox/dodger final.
The Jays are their own worst enemy. They sure gave away a lot of games this year

The strike that wasn't to be.. Eovaldi put her on the corner and didn't get strike three call , Astros pound 7 run ninth. It happens... best of 3 series now .
GO STRO'S

I dunno - I don't like the direction baseball is going. Every bat in the post season is micro managed. The 'juiced' ball. 3 grand slams in one game?
I'm old school. The bunt, steal, double steal, suicide squeeze. Manufacture a run.

Being a Jays fan, I've always hated the Red Sox. Division rivalry. Always kinda liked Houston, despite the cheating, or should I say " getting caught cheating ". If you think another team never cheats, maybe they just haven't got caught yet. So go Astros! because I don't like any National League teams. And especially the Dodgers.

Houston wins series 4 games to 2. Red Sox are history. Alvarez was the series man of the hour. Kike couldn’t maintain his run. Still predicting a Braves vs Astros World Series. Braves win 🏆
