    I'm still pulling for Milwaukee vs Houston. But Atlanta vs Houston would bring back some old NLW memories. I know it's crazy, but Atlanta and Houston were in the NLW.

    I would love that. I'll take that right ****ing now since it means the Astros are in the WS.

    The Giants are awesome, but I'll take anyone just to get to the WS. If I could somehow pick, I would probably prefer the Braves. I'm not that greedy tho, just give me Astros wins and I'm good.

    I'm not going to cheer against the Doyers. Every time I do, they end up winning. So go L.A ! Live to play another day.

    Freeman with the go ahead homer in the 8th. If they hold on, bigger surprise, Braves or Red Sox?

    Takes a curtain call? A bit premature isn't it?

    Bigger disappointment, Rays or Brewers?

    Rays the obvious chose with 100 wins, but the Brewers lost to an 88 win team with 3 of its top players injured. Both failed to force game 5.

    Braves are the bigger surprise for me, that team wasn't very good and they lost a ton of talent. Hell, they LOST the Charlie Morton start and still went on to win the series.

    I just want the Dodgers to fail.

    Braves or SF is fine with me,

    I would say Brewers as bigger disappointment. Who were the Rays starters in the regular season? Didn't they have 2 or 3 starters in the playoffs with little MLB experience?

    Burnes can totally dominate a series if allowed to pitch deep. Glad to see him out.

    Taking Buehler out so early is silly. He was rolling along. They still need to get through 5 more innings and he's filet mignon compared to everyone else.

    Max Fried is nails, CFM and Anderson are lined up to start the next series. Let's see.

    I really wanted them to park Kelly (or line a ball off his head). The latter preferably. Especially after he threw at JM'S head..

    I'd literally laugh if he had to be carried off on a stetcher. I'd donate 1k to the player who hit the ball charity

    Dodgers always seems like a sleeping giant that sometimes you think is waking up but then they put up duds like yesterday.

    let’s hope they put up a dud in game 5.

    Manana, Giants, Manana.

    eta: My bad, nobody manana, it's all Thursday night.

    That should be fun, all pitchers on deck and available.

    Brewers were also in the conversation for the best record at one point in August and they fell apart down the stretch. Not to mention their starting pitching would have figured to be a major advantage.
