The Brewers closed out the regular season winning eight in a row with a 20-7 record since September 1st and 28-10 record over the final six weeks.

I have really liked Milwaukee since the offseason when they made multiple savvy moves. I don't know if I trust them in a 7 game series against someone like LA, but man they really could do it.

My initial hunch heading into October is an Astros repeat, but playoff baseball is so unpredictable.

[Meacon Keaton]

Better them than Boston.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I am rooting for either Oakland (my apologies to Meacon and Ghost Machine) or the Rockies. The Braves would be fun too.

Boston's probably not going to make the World Series.  The bullpen gonna get blown up.

I hate the Brewers so much  If we win tomorrow who do we play?

Right back to playing the Brewers again since the Wild Card team plays the division champion that lands in the top seed.

I fully expect to hear people advocating for the seeding to change after this year because you can potentially have the best two records in the NL having to play in the first round and in the AL the #2 seed Astros are playing a team with a worse record than the Wild Card winner.

There are moments where this Braves team reminds me of the '15 Royals team.  Not a lot of nationally known names, but can stand up to everyone...not from Boston.

The quintessential Atlanta sports team

Only a year after winning AL Manager of the Year, the Twins have fired Paul Molitor.

Hate to say it, but I agree. The Astros could very well repeat as AL champs. But if they do, I hope they lose to whichever NL team they face.

(The Red Sox are the only AL team in the playoffs that I'd be for in the WS. I'm wearing a Red Sox shirt as I'm typing this, in fact.)

You spelled “Yankees” incorrectly, my good friend. Perhaps a stroke have you did?

[GhostMachine]

"Yankees" is spelled "S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D-S". And why are you typing like Yoda?

Seriously, the jokes about me being a Yankees fan have gotten old. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Nobody is joking, big cat. We're in this together. 

[Your Mom]

Lester is pitching amazing but the offense quit on the season like a month ago so I'm not optimistic right now

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, Lester and Freeland both are dominating tonight. Still a lot to go, though, and I doubt Freeland is going to go further than six, maybe seven. 

[gunnar hendershow]

It took him 3 batters to settle in and since then Lester has just been lights out.

This really comes down to the Rockies pen I think, because Lester is going 8.

Or not  Not sure why we would pull Lester

That really fucking hurt

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I was half expecting Drew Butera to pull off his jersey to reveals a Cubs one instead. 

Gore probably had the stolen base anyway but Butera didn't even throw to second. 

[Your Mom]

I think with that jump he had it anyway but yeah he didn't even look   

[MalaCloudy Black]

This game, my heart 

[The Buscher]

What on earth is the point of replay if this doesn't get overturned?
