The games that matter so far:
Braves 1 Phillies 2 - End 4 Dodgers 12 Giants 0 - Bottom 4th Tigers 0 Brewers 3 - Top 5th Cardinals 2 Cubs 3 - Bottom 3rd
I’m here for the hot dogs and sodas.
Cubs now up 4-2, Top 4th
Rockies now up 7-0, Bottom of the Fifth
Dodgers now up 14-0.
All we know now is that it’s looking like Atlanta will be on the road to start their Divisional series.

Strange how, having given up on pro sports completely, there’s more time for other things.
However, lest that seem a ‘virtue signal’, fall Saturdays and the middle of August (Little League World Series) still have me rather in their thrall.
(but after PSU’s collapse last night, this year’s remaining fall Saturdays are tarnished )-:
DfwGator we may be heading for TWO Monday tie breaker games,
one in Chicago & the other in L.A...
But baseball playoff time is the best time of the year.
Playing at coors field is like playing on mars compared to other parks. You see things there that you don’t see in other parks. I guess dodger fans are pretty upset Scherzer didn’t start for the nats, ha. I think he does have a 5 something era at coors tho.

Red Sox over Braves in 7.
And to the Dodgers, I’d say, tough noogies, if you won more games, you wouldn’t have had to worry about who is pitching on the final day.
Amen! Just came inside to check my teams, Nationals, Yankees and Indians. Only the tribe in front. Oh well.
Pumpkin ale(Sam Adms) and baseball.
You know who else loves baseball and beer?
Judge Kavanaugh. Soon to be confirmed as associate justice on SCOTUS. God Bless America and President Trump.
I noticed in today’s schedule that *ALL* game starting times were at the same time (within 30 minutes of each other). 3 PM eastern, noon on the leftist coast, etc.
What is the rationale behind that?
Darn right, plus Scherzer is already at 220 innings. I guess if he wanted to get 301+ strikeouts for personal reasons, fine.

So that you didn’t have a situation where another team would have an advantage of knowing beforehand what they need to do.
