Thank you gentlemen. It looks like I am gonna miss a couple of games, but at least I won't be up total **** creek. I sure would have enjoyed last nights game. I was glad to see the Pirates win, they are definitely the better team. I think the Pirates/ Cards is a great matchup and make for some excellent exciting baseball. As a Cards fan I would have been much more confident if we were playing the Reds. I bet the Pirates fans are as nervous as I am.

I updated post #850 a few times, don't know if you saw that. MLB.tv offers live streaming of all playoff games through the world Series for $4.95, don't need to miss any of the games if really want to.

Knee, I am sorry. I saw that and meant to comment. The only thing for Internet is my iPhone, which wouldn't be very good to watch a game with. I appreciate your effort to help.

Not a prob. I can spot a genuine baseball fan from a casual sports bar watcher every time. You'll soon be up and operational with TV coverage anyway.

Shows how much they know.


I have to admit, when I first heard about the extra Playoff games, it didn't sound like a good idea. Baseball can't be played at it's best in cold weather (at least I couldn't) If the Playoffs are as much fun as the Wild Card games were. That's great.
In the old format, if you finished the season 1/2 game out your season was over. 6 months for nothing. This system makes sense.
 
Dodgers / Braves should be a great series. Like the old days of the '90's.

Starting pitching versus bullpen. Braves will need to get the pitch count up high and early. Watch the quick strikeouts. Then try to score a couple in the last three innings. If Atlanta can get a lead they will stand a real good chance of hanging on to it. I don't expect much scoring by them early on.

Now, Atlanta's starters are pretty decent even with the loss of Hudson. At times, excellent. Who will show up on game day is something to be seen.

Atlanta has been an enigma all year. Definitely a series to watch.

The Wild Card games are fun and all, but I hate to see a one game series. That ain't baseball.

I agree, I prefer a 2 of 3, but the travel probably is a costly proposition. OTOH, each team would get at least 1 game in front of their home crowd to even up the playing field, and surely the revenue from the games, at the park and on TV, would be welcome. Problem is, the other playoff teams would have to wait that much longer to start.

Also, I don't like the 5 game format, give it the traditional 4 of 7 and then let them have at it.

The Wild Card game isn't a playoff game, it's part of the 162 game schedule. (Game 163 to untie a division and claim a winner.)

I suppose that's one way of looking at it. However, I would contend that most folks see a wild card game, be it in baseball or football, as the first round of the playoffs. I certainly do. BTW, it doesn't necessarily "untie a division" in that the two teams don't have to come from the same division (as Cincinnati and Pittsburgh happen to).

true on all accounts. All references to the wild card game are "post season"
 
I agree that it would be nice to see a best of 3 series for the Wildcard teams, but I think they do the 1 game to keep from playing in the snow. It is a long season and a long playoff.

Beltran just hit a 3 run shot.

At least I can listen to game 1 on the radio.
 
Yea, that was one UGLY inning...

Two Cy Young caliber pitchers can carry a team all the way through the playoffs. Not necessarily, though. Some great pitchers choke in October.

I'm thinking Johnson ans Schilling. That was an amazing Series and the Yankees lost!

Play Ball.
 
I don't think the winner of a one-game playoff has earned the right to play a Division winner on equal footing. No doubt it is good for the game. I remember one year back in the 90's when LA won 102 games (???) and missed the Division Series to the Braves who won 103 (???).
