Hadn’t thought we’d ever see a 106 win team be relegated to the play in game.

I live in Maryland! I listen to KNBR through a VPN:it is worth the cost alone. That and 95.7 for warriors games. I absolutely love sports radio, there is a great romanticism to it. Listening to a game working out in my garage is one of my favourite things to do. My dad listened to KNBR back in the day so it’s a nice bond we have :lol:
This was my first year of not getting the Giants mlb.tv package (includes radio). The late game times and a new work schedule (weekly calls to Europe at 5am) just made it a waste. So of course they went and had the most wins in team history. Going to correct that next year I think.

Same for me as I listened to Vince Scully each weekend with my dad as a kid when we worked in the garage/workshop. Was spoiled as a kid having Scully/Hearn(Lakers)/Miller(kings).

This wasn’t as enjoyable or chaotic a final day as 2011, but it did have a bit of drama.

for about 30 min when it was 0-0 in NY and 5-1 in DC it was high drama. Would have been better if the Mariners had not shit the bed

It was a bit different for me this day as I wasn’t experiencing a Boston implosion in Baltimore & watching two HRs against NY in the final two innings like 2011. It was an unmitigated joy to watch that utter twat Papelbon give up hit after hit to a historically bad Oriole team.

I hope that jackass is still bitter about singlehandedly resigning the Red Sox to an early offseason.

On a scale of 0 to 5 fecks given I think Papelbon definitely gives none of them because Papelbon.

One of the most punchable faces to have ever taken the bump.
It’s a closer thing as Rocker and Dodgers era Brian Wilson (who will never be forgiven) were equally punchable. Rod Beck is the exception as he is G(facial hair)OAT.

also Gagne that steroid using Frenchie.

Rocker & Wilson are good calls. Schilling was always a cnut so he is also in that book.

There was the SF Giants covidiot pitcher who also fit the bill, the one who wasn’t invited back to the recent celebration. Blanking on his name right now.

If it’s who I think it is it was not a pitcher, it was Aubrey Huff. He was banned from Twitter. He is a Qanon, women hating piece of shit.

That’s the one. His deep seeded hatred of women obviously stems from being called one his whole life.

He has a few sons who he proudly posted about as he indoctrinated them into it. His ex wife probably couldn’t get away fast enough.

Back to positive stuff, I have a feeling the Cards are going to get one over on the Dodgers.
Also, the Yankee/Sox game is guaranteed to last 17 hours.

A team with a very recent 17 game winning streak is never a good opponent in a one game playoff.

Grew up in SoCal with massive Dodger loving parents, so of course I rebelled and became a Giants fan at age 8. Didn't move to WI till a few years ago but can't hate the Brewers unless we meet in the NLCS.
Ah that makes sense. I clearly saw the WI part of your name and thought... Wisconsin... Brewers... must be that.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on cheese?

Love it. Started a thread on it a while back. Based on the lack of replies it appears the Caf is not so enamored with it.

Would usually agree with 2 but it's harder now they've got T. Turner and Scherzer. They brought a lot of joy to us Nats fans (and let's face it, we haven't had much of that since the trade).
The infection of your sporting soul is not worth it. Let them go and hope they are able to gain their freedom in the future. This is the only way.

As a Manchester United & Warriors fan I feel like it’s an obligation for me to support Yankees & Dodgers
which is like saying “as a fan of shaving I feel like it’s an obligation to eat this bag of razor blades”.
Don’t eat the razor blades.

Bet you've got one of those half and half scarves...
I hope both win and heads to divisional series.Cole needs to finish stronger. On other side its exiting content between Scherzer vs Wainwright.

I would love for the Cards to win, for obvious reasons, but also because it would be great to see the best 2 catchers of this generation (both HoF's) go head to head one more time.

Yankees at Fenway for a one game playoff is as good as it gets in baseball. 43 years ago they did the same thing and Red Sox fans still say Bucky f*^%#ng Dent after his home run in that classic.

Baseball is weird. Can be the most boring thing ever but playoff baseball is very tense. Too long yes. The Ken Burns thing was great though.
