2023 MLB playoffs
Minnesota is looking to even out 1-1 against Houston as I type. Houston can’t lose fast enough for me.
Texas is up 2 games to none against the Orioles. I’d like to see Texas make it to the WS.
Diamondbacks crushed LA in game one and resume tomorrow. I like the Dodgers for the Division Series.
Braves/Phillies will be interesting for me. I’d be happy to see either team advance. The only issue I have with Atlanta is the fans.

Who are you rooting for this year?

I'm rooting for the Orioles... but it's not looking so good.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Let’s go Phillies! Atlanta will be a tough out if they wake up, but Philly and Atlanta are matched up top to bottom extremely evenly.

What most outside of Philly aren’t aware of or seen is that the lineup being used in the playoffs quite honestly was barely used during the regular season. Thompson was constantly giving guys days off and playing the bench regularly during the season. Only now are we seeing the outfield consistently have the best defensive options available with Schwarber DHing and Harper playing 1st every night. Heck during the season I’d be willing to argue that Bohm played more time at 1st then at 3rd throughout the regular season.

The Phillies are primed and are going to be a hard out for anyone.

That was a great play, and horrible base running by Harper.

And that chop chop is about as lame as the inside/out backwards hat.

Don’t be a sore loser. It’s even more lame.

Have some fun.

Oh no it’s not being a sore loser. Didn’t mean to come off that way. But I do hate the chop. No offense meant PowerSurge

That chop chop is a long standing tradition. Even as I have no love for the Braves, I enjoy that spectacle of fan celebration.

I won’t be, you guys deserved to win, seeing how we gave up a big lead like that.

But now you and your fan-disliking pitcher have to face 40,000+ very angry and fired up Philadelphia fans at Citizens Bank Park Wednesday and Thursday! Big Grin

First baseball game I ever went to, my crazy uncle took me to see the Padres and the Dodgers at Jack Murphy Stadium. Back in the day when Ray Kroc of McDonald's owned the Padres. If the Padres won a home game, everyone with a ticket stub could get a free Big Mac. The Padres lost 2-3 and I've hated the Dodgers ever since.

Seeing the Dodgers down 2 games to my Diamondbacks makes me happier than Charlie Sheen with a fresh prescription of Viagra.

Advantage of winning the division and getting the BYE is looking like a huge bust. Which was always a possibility. The time off for baseball teams is quite often a negative and not a positive.

Orioles are on the verge of being swept. Dodgers are also down 0-2. Braves were asleep for 15 innings but woke up in time to split at home. Astros also split at home but are looking stronger not against a lesser opponent (imo) in the Twins.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.
