And that'll likely do it.

[The Buscher]

Oh well.. Can't win if you can't score.

[gunnar hendershow]

Buck Showalter right now.

[The Buscher]

All things considered, I'm not that upset.  I really didn't think this team was going to win this game against the best playoff pitcher of all time.

Hope the Giants win the whole thing now so we got beat by the best and everyone else can be miserable with the Even Year Giants crap continuing.

That makes no sense.  Baltimore was the road team and the Mets are the home team.

One of my best friends is a lifelong Oriole fan who moved to Long Island 5 years back and has picked the Mets up as his NL team.

Pretty great 24 hours for him.

Okay, so Bumgarner is pretty good in the playoffs, eh?

Steroids. Gotta be steroids.

I'm honestly rooting for the Giants the rest of the way, just because I love how incredibly weird the Even-Year Giants story is. Keep it going another year, I say.

SF-Chicago is so intriguing because of how Bochy is gonna try to slot Bumgarner into a 5 game series.

[Meacon Keaton]

Kinda funny that three-run homers won both wild card games.

[The Buscher]

I don't even think I'd put this in my top 5 worst Mets playoff losses.

Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS is probably always going to be my #1. Doing the job to Yadier Molina and the 83 win Cardinals hurt so badly. I was 100% all in on that '06 Mets team.

Games 1, 4, and 5 of last year's World Series have to be there - ESPECIALLY Game 1.

And of course you have Kenny Rogers walking in the winning run to end the 1999 NLCS.

This loss sucked of course, but it was still a team lucky to even be in the playoffs losing to a guy who is unhittable in October. There's just not much you can do about that.

I want either the Dodgers or the Cubs in the World Series for the NL, Red Sox for the AL. If the Giants make it to the WS, I won't be watching.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Giants winning would be hilarious for both the even-year thing and the fact that their bullpen is horrific.

Will be pulling for the Cubbies because y'all have waited too long. Texas is the only AL team I don't really mind. And LA has been good to me when I've been out there so Dodgers would be nice as well.

[The Buscher]

The Nats and Red Sox are the only two teams I REALLY don't want to see win it.  Nats because they're a division rival and seeing Murph win a ring somewhere else would hurt, and Boston because, well, Boston fans have been spoiled enough the last 15 years.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Had a work call I had to take at 5. Come back and it's 7-0. Yeeesh.

[Your Mom]

Damn dude Toronto killed it today!

[Meacon Keaton]

10-1. It's like Texas knows they're destined to not win the World Series, so they're just tapping out early.

[Draevyn]

Now that's what I call domination!

[The Buscher]

Hell of a game.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yup. And Boston lost.
