We have Seattle, Toronto, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee waiting around to find out who they will play in the Division Series.

Cleveland vs Detroit, I have no clue how that will play out. Boston vs New York, that should be a blood bath both on and off the field. I hope LA sends Cincinnati packing in two games because LA earned it. Finally we get to my beloved Cubs.

Win or lose against San Diego, I’m still gonna be smiling because the first half of the year was the most fun cubs season I’ve watched since 2016. We are looking at a possible platinum glove and MVP with Pete Crow-Armstrong, and a possible Rookie of the Year award with Cade Horton. Our middle infielders Dansby Swanson and Nico Horner are both looking good for gold gloves again.

Also, Horner ended his season in second place in batting average with .297. The title goes to Trea Turner of the Phillies with a .304 average. Congrats to PASig and our other Philly fans! I hope to see you after beating the Padres and Brewers!

What are you predicting this post season?

Looks like we [Astros] are right on the bubble. Not been the best run of the past few games.

Mariners caught fire at the end of the season. But their bullpen will fail them on the stretch run.

Ouch...at both his leg and the way the Mets completely imploded in 2025. Philly is very happy of course as they were one of our toughest rivals and we NEVER win at Citi Field playing them for some reason.

Phillies are so hot/cold it's insane so I have no clue how this is going to go. One day they're playing like they are about to win Game 4 in the WS and the next day they are like the Bad News Bears. And you never know what kind you are getting that day.

I wish dad was around to watch the Mets fold. After 1969, he would have been so happy!

Thanks New York! Go Reds!!

One of our best pitchers took a line drive right to the ballsack on Saturday, we are already thin in the bullpen on good starters in Philly so this may be tough.

I'm ready to watch my M's collapse in the post season, again.

I was at this Phillies-Twins game Friday night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and it was perfect, they played well, won the game, the weather and sunset were beautiful.

We have such a nice ballpark compared to some out there and it's always a max capacity or near max capacity crowd it seems. Was at Yankee Stadium last September and while the experience was pretty cool overall, it's a giant grim cement bowl with a ground level that is more airport than ballpark to me compared to Citizens Bank Park

Yankee stadium left me flat. Citizens Bank Park is high on my list to see. PNC in Pittsburgh is gorgeous, and Wrigley is notorious for its old world feel and scenery.

As a life long Tigers fan the last 2 months have been abhorrent! I’m hopeful they can beat the Indians, but I’m not sure they can beat any team right now. Scott Harris should be fired for those horrendous trade deals.

NICE

Did anyone see the Yankees choke last night. Bases loaded, no outs, bottom of the ninth with the heart of the order up to bat. They couldn't score!

As a Sox fan I loved it! With former Yankee Chapman on the mound for the Sox no less.

I agree 100% the Tigers collapse has been beyond frustrating for even a casual fan. You might want to cut Scotty some slack on their performance, though. Chris Illich is a notorious tightwad and Harris never had access to the kind of funds needed to get any impact players at the deadline. And you know that all the top prospects in the farm system were untouchable as trade bait. Lack of money is the same problem Stevie Y. has with the Red Wings. Hard to build a contender when you've only got nickels and dimes in the bank.

I haven’t heard much about Manny Machado in several years. Other than a few highlights of him showing off his incredible arm. But today he reminded me of the unlikable dick he’s always been when he smashed a 2 run homer. He was acting like he just invented the feat. When you hit home run 600 (which is not unreachable for Manny), you can cartwheel around the bases and I’ll turn my head, until then, act like you’ve done it before. This isn’t the NFL.

If the Dodgers win this evening, the Reds will be eliminated. All other wild card races are tied at one game apiece.

Gotta love the Babylon Bee's humor

4 really good games on tomorrow. I'm rootin' for Tigers/Jays and Phils/Brewers in the Championship games.
