I will try to post one of these for each series also, NOT EACH GAME, or something like that.

Thanks to ken5050!

October is the ONLY time to watch baseball. If the games don’t have any meaning (and 99% if regular season games don’t), there’s no reason to watch. But when every pitch means EVERYTHING, there’s nothing better than playoff baseball.

True dat.

Cards fan checking in...I’m more afraid of the Cubs and Pirates than of the Dodgers and Mets...

It absolutely is a tribute to Epstein. Getting Rizzo, Arrieta, Bryant, Lester, Russell, Montero, Schwarber and most importantly Joe Maddon are directly credited to him. What he’s done there is nothing short of amazing.

The Cubs have a ridiculous amount of YOUNG talent, the best manager (imo) in the game and a terrific front office. It’s a very exciting time to be a Cubs fan (which I’m not, I’m a Yankee fan...)

Not only October, but November also, now that they have stretched out the season so long that the World Series ends in early November.

My local ESPN radio station (92.7 York Pa.) is not carrying the game, instead it has some local talk show on.

What's up with that, anybody?

MLB has been advertising that all postseason games are on ESPN radio.

Cards fan here as well. The NL Central division was the “winningest” division —look at the wins racked up there versus the other divisions. Very competitive. Of course, I want the Cubbies eliminated..... Five generation Cards fan. My mother remembers her mom (my Grandma) listening to the Cards games being called on the Radio beginning in the late ‘20s. My dear mother was a rabid fan and before she died in her sleep at the age of 91, she had watched the Cards win a game..... that woman could out-coach LaRussa :-) My daughter married into an Illinois farm family. They are a “mixed” family —my SiL is a Cubbies fan. So...when the Cards have home games, daughter and granddaughter dress in Cards red, and Sil and grandson dress in Cubbie blue.....

So....Go Cards! Their last three games have sucked big time —someone drilled a lot of holes in their bats. Hope they’re back in the game when it comes time!

Cubs up 1-0, but with Arrieta, it feels more like 10-0. Runs will be hard to come by for the Bucs tonight.
