    We have a lot of sportscasters who would rather be elsewhere. They think we actually give a damned about their personal trials and musical tastes, or lack of it.

    It's TRADITION.
    I found out by making one. Bue I have no problem with the tradition. It's not like we have a star sitting on the bench waiting for an opportunity.

    Very important the Astros jump on the Twins early.

    Serious doubt will jump in that teams head quickly making them realize they are up against the champs.

    The Astros, who have reached the postseason six straight times from 2017 to 2022, are the only team to ever win a postseason series in six straight seasons.

    I think it’s a pun on twin mattresses.

    There was no NLDS in 1993 (2 divisions, no WC), so they won a postseason series in 5 straight seasons (95-99)

    You may wish to re-check your information. The Braves lost in the NLDS in both 2018 and 2019 and did not even reach the playoffs in 2017. Also their previous string of 5 years (1995-1999) was snapped in 2000 when they lost in the NLDS. They were in the postseason for 11 straight years from 1995 until 2005, but in 5 of those years they failed to advance to the NLCS by losing in the NLDS
