        Hopefully we'll both make it to the next round for a beer bet. I'm already used to losing bets to you, so it shouldn't hurt much at all. Doubt it'll happen - I can't see us getting by the Evil Empire of the West, but hey, might as well hope...

                  My interest level this year is not even close to what it usually is. Not once have I watched MLB tonight this year and it is usually on in my home at some point each night.

                  For this year I am rooting against more teams than rooting for. Early exits for LAD, NYY, STL and HOU would be nice, and I am rooting for CLE, SD and the Cubs. Could care less about anyone else. Wake me up if there is spring training in March. Derp

                    brace yourself for EIGHT playoff games on Wednesday.

                    recall that 12 seeds do very well historically against 5 seeds, so some potential value there...

                      MLB.com has a bracket challenge...may as well go for the free cash. My Marlins bracket is probably 100% unique lol

                        Manuel Margot may have done nothing this year, but he justified the trade tonight.

                          It's gonna be a tough road for my Padres... Lamet won't pitch the WC series, Paddack and Davies are going 1-2 and possibly Clevinger for game 3 though I wouldn't count on it. Interestingly enough Gore has been included on the 40 for the playoffs so....who knows.

                            Clevinger also not on the WC roster. Dang.

                              Bauer-Fried in a pitchers duel. And Jose Berrios just made a really athletic play covering the shift on a bunt attempt by Tucker.
