Lammycat Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Cubs win the NCL Central! That and Twins get the second wild card spot in the the AL. Now it is to see if the Rockies can outlast the Brewers (or maybe Cards). Red Sox clinch AL east.....(hoping for a NYY loss and Sox win) Rockies would have to have a massive fail to not be playing D-Backs next Wed. Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Last nite, Nicky Delmonico hit a towering homerun to win in extra innings. Go White Sox! Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ah October baseball. Really the best month in all of sports. Can the resurgent Cubs win it all again, or will a dark horse come riding up and shock us all? Here are my dime store predictions: AL WildcardYankees over Twins NL WildcardD-Backs over Rockies ALDSBoston over Houston in 5Cleveland over Yankees in 4 NLDSDodgers over D-Backs in 4Cubs over Nationals in 5 ALCSCleveland over Boston in 6 NLCSCubs over Dodgers in 6 World SeriesCubs over Cleveland (can you say rematch?) in 7 I say if you do bet this with your local bookie (as you should) just remember to kick a little love back to KG.

uncool2pillow Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I sure hope you're wrong about the Yankees/Twins tonight, though you probably won't. Win or lose, I hope to really enjoy the game. Link to post Share on other sites

Cleveland over LA in 6.The beauty of the post season is that anything can happen, though, right? The Red Sox were the Wild Card team in '04 winning that first in a million years WS title. Marlins did it twice, St. Louis, Giants, etc. Maybe not likely, but certainly not that unlikely, either. And the Cubs aren't even a WC.... ed. I'm not rooting for the Cubs, just saying....

Well, there sure would be a lot of hoopla in CLE (longest current WS win drought in MLB) or Washington (never won/been to a WS) Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 That Avett-brother-wanna-be hipster relief pitcher pretty much screwed up the Rockies' post season!! Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 That was the wildest of Wild Card games! Hats off to CO - they showed a lot of spunk. Never hung their heads, just kept grindin'. And they almost pulled it off. I DO think the DBacks could give LA fits - apparently they won the season series 11-8. Against a team that won 103 games. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Stinks that today's Boston/Houston game is on MLB.com. I sprung for SLING TV so I can watch most of the games, but the FREE 2018 Spring Training games is not enticing enough to purchase the MLB playoff TV package, too. Would love to watch the Sale/Verlander match up though. The kid's may be sitting in a pub doing their homework and eating ice cream for a while today after school. Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 MLB Network is offering a free preview to most cable providers AND DISH & DirectTV through Oct 11. The rest of that series and the other ALDS will be on Fox Sports 1. Correction: Game 1 of NYY & Cle will be on MLB Network as well. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Watched the first 3 innings - the rest via the radio - always liked Sutcliffe in the booth - Berman isn't too annoying today. Sale definitely didn't have it today - which is a bummer. Must admit wanted Sale to win his games and Red Sox to loose the series. Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of that series and the other ALDS will be on Fox Sports 1. Correction: Game 1 of NYY & Cle will be on MLB Network as well. During Spring Training I clicked on that channel and thought the cable overlords had somehow added it to the line-up. I eventually learned it was just some sort of Spring Training promotion deal. It magically went away when the season started. I feel fortunate these days that the Pirates have a network that shows almost all the games. I can recall a time when that was not the case. I am not interested in watching any other teams or games. So my season of Baseball watching is finished. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Man that was a pitching clinic by the Tribe tonight. Miller wasn't 100% but the other 8 1/3 was nasty. Only 4 singles by the Yanks and 2 of 'em were by ex-Cub Castro. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yeah - Cleveland is the team to beat this year - which I don't think anybody will. There are a few ex-Chicago players on the Yankees. Link to post Share on other sites
