What was there to play for? Both teams were not good in the series, shit happens. We are fine. Just get out of it healthy and take the rest.
Oh I’m watching at least 3 games. If they go down 0-3 I’ll stop watching again. it’s a 7 game series right?
I know it’s 5 was just playing. Make no mistake. I’ll be watching. If me watching jinxes them then they weren’t good enough to begin with.
Interesting Wild Card matchup. Detroit folding in the last couple weeks and Cleveland getting the walk off to win the division. Odds makers have Detroit. I’m going with the Guardians.
I’ve got an autographed Ichiro ball from his rookie season. 1 of only 2 pieces of baseball paraphernalia I own. The other is a Subway Series World Series ball. Had to have been from like 2000? Whatever balls aren’t used in the previous season’s WS….. they are distributed out to all the teams for batting practice. While on my lunch break watching the guys hit, one zipped right by my head. Snatched it and threw it in my pocket!
Mariners first game is Oct 4th. The Tigers vs Guardians start tomorrow in a day game. starts at 10 am here.
4 of the top 10 payrolls this season missed out on the playoffs, including the Mets who were #2 just behind the Dodgers. Yea it helps to have money but it's far from a guarantee that a team will win. Of teams that made playoffs this year you have Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees, Cubs, Padres and Toronto all in the top 7 of payrolls but also Boston (11), Seattle (12), Detroit (14), Milwaukee (17 and best record in MLB), Cincy (19) and Cleveland (26).
So par for the course for pretty much every team in a 162 game season? We have had bad hitting stretches, but we had 20 games where we were on fire. 3 games not being able to is standard. Ill take that beautiful 20 game sample size all day.
