AL:
Astros/Yankees vs Royals
Rangers vs Blue Jays

NL:
Cubs/Pirate vs Cardinals
Mets vs Dodgers

Who ya got

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Yanks have a shot with the ice cold Royals and the fading Astros. Hopefully Texas knocks out Toronto.

[Pelicans78]

Royals are AL champs until proven otherwise :toast. They beat the Jays in 6 games.

Have the Cards in the NL since only the Giants can beat them in the playoffs. They beat the Dodgers.

Royals beat the Cards again just like in 1985 thanks to another blown call and Cards meltdown.

[Pelicans78]

Yanks have a shot with the ice cold Royals and the fading Astros. Hopefully Texas knocks out Toronto.

Royals finished the season with 5 straight wins to capture homefield. They were resting guys throughout the month since they had a 13 game lead. They stopped coasting and took care of business when it counted. They're the AL champs until proven otherwise.

[Robz4000]

I've got:

Astros over Yankees, then Royals over Astros in 5
Rangers over BJs in 4

Cubs over Pirates, then Cards over Cubs in 4
Dodgers over Mets in 4

Gonna wait for ALCS/NLCS predictions until I see how each team looks.

[Jacob1983]

'One Strike away' twice

[djohn2oo8]

Hopefully Keuchel dominates tomorrow.

[resistanze]

Not really sure what the fuck the Jays were thinking in the past week, but then again Gibbons is a moron. Gave away the best record in the AL, fielded their second team on two occasions, didn't pitch Price at all...and started a pitcher on one day rest? Baffling. Won't be surprised if this bites them in the ass.

I think he was saving Price for Game 1 of the ALDS. But I'm surprised the Jays really let homefield get away after they overtook the Royals this past week. But I'll think they'll be fine in the ALDS. The Royals needed homefield more than the Jays.

Yeah, but IMO Price doesn't need 11 days of rest. And yes benching your starters for two consecutive games against the Orioles was asinine. The Jays were 53-28 at home and 40-41 on the road....so they're not much better (if not worse) than the Royals.

[Pelicans78]

Shoot I didn't realize Price is getting 11 days of rest. Hopefully he's not rusty. The Rangers have a good offense.

I remember the Royals benching their starters for one game when they clinched the division. I think the doubleheader hurt the Jays in that sense when they clinched.

[Fabbs]

Sorry Rangers, a team with phaggot Josh Hamilton has to go down. Blue Jays.

Astros/Yankees vs Royals
Rangers vs Blue Jays

NL:
Cubs/Pirate vs Cardinals
Mets vs Dodgers i see another Dodger choke coming on.

[FromWayDowntown]

I guess it's one of those things that happens, but it's unfortunate that 2 of the 3 best records in baseball (STL/PIT/CUBS) will be eliminated by the time the NLCS starts.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Man this one game series makes it extremely sketch.

Don't understand how people don't like playoff baseball. Where every single pitch matters and one bad pitch can do you in. The most unpredictable sport.

[Chris]

Watching and rooting for the Astros. Fuck the Yankees; I hope A-Roid gets a golden sombrero

[Robz4000]

Actually like A-rod for his don't-give-a-fuck attitude this season, but the Yankees can diaf. Go Astros.

[Pelicans78]

If the Astros win, I'm gonna go try to watch Game 3 Sunday afternoon.

[Pauly D]

Of course a fat mexican couple had to be right where that homerun landed :lmao dammit

[td4mvp2k]

Watching and rooting for the Astros. Fuck the Yankees; I hope A-Roid gets a golden sombrero

:tu

[djohn2oo8]

Fuck yes!!!!

[Pelicans78]

Great dominating win.

Definitely gonna look to get Game 3 tickets to see a Royals playoff game!

[Robz4000]

:lol Yankees

[Pelicans78]

Game 2 might decide this series. I think the Royals will win Game 1 with Ventura starting and the Astros will win Game 3 with Keuchel. Key will be Game 2. Cueto has been up and down for the Royals. Hopefully he steps up in Game 2 and pitched the way the Royals expected him to when they traded for him.

[Biernutz]

congrats to the Astros on their first playoff win since 2005. The Astros hit 230 home runs this year , 2nd only to the Blue Jays. it will be a hard road to get thru K.C. but the young guys on this team wont quit. Congrats to Reed and Nolan Ryan to help bring in the best talent to what was a sad sack team. First 2 games in K.C...................

Gotta win game 1.

[Pelicans78]

Gotta win game 1.

Game 2 is the real key for both teams. Ventura has been lights out lately, especially at home. Plus his stuff is clearly the best on the team and he was great in the post-season last year. Royals are expected to win that one. Astros are expected to win Game 3 with Keuchel at home. Game 2 is the difference maker. Cueto has been inconsistent since the Royals traded for him. If the Astros win that game, Royals will most likely use Ventura on 3 days rest for Game 4 assuming Astros win Game 3. If the Royals win Game 2 and end up being ahead 2-1 after Game 3, they will save Ventura for Game 5 at home on regular rest.

[Robz4000]

Man, I picked the Cubs to win this game but never figured they'd do it this dominantly.

[Chris]

I thought Bruce Bochy was the best manager in baseball, but one could make a case for Joe Maddon as well.

[Robz4000]

I thought Bruce Bochy was the best manager in baseball, but one could make a case for Joe Maddon as well.

Maddon > Bochy imo

[Robz4000]

One down.

[Chris]

-Great game from Chirinos! That homerun was obviously huge but he called a great game as well.

-Diekman comes in and MOWS THEM DOWN 1-2-3 in the 7th and 8th. Huge.

-Dyson comes in the 9th instead of Tolleson and does a great job keeping everything low except one pitch witch was middle in. Not surprised Tolleson got the shaft considering the blown save recently.

-Hopefully Beltre is ok, he is the heart and soul of this team. Alberto did a terrific job on defense in a tight spot.

-Optimistic about game 2 with Hamels on the mound. He knows how to pitch to the Jays with his time in Philly

[Robz4000]

I say sit Beltre til Sunday tbh. Even with Hamels on the mound tomorrow I doubt we get the win, but if the younger guys keep producing anything is possible.

:lol Price continues to choke in the playoffs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The city is stunned.....and very quiet.

[Chris]

Hamilton looked absolutely lost out there. They need to work on that shit quick, or start Venable or maybe Stubbs in LF.

[AlexJones]

ROFL Ventura

Jesus Christ the AL is weak as hell

[resistanze]

Not really sure what the fuck the Jays were thinking in the past week, but then again Gibbons is a moron. Gave away the best record in the AL, fielded their second team on two occasions, didn't pitch Price at all...and started a pitcher on one day rest? Baffling.

[Pelicans78]

McHugh has been forunate. He's been hanging pitches all night long.

lol

A lot of Jays fans are pissed about this strategy as well

[AlexJones]

Djohn's anus tightening up

[Robz4000]

We All-Texas ALCS now ???????????

[djohn2oo8]

Djohn's anus tightening up

:lol just got home from the bar. Not nervous at this point. No one on earth expected them to be here.

[Chris]

Royals looking very beatable compared to last season

[Robz4000]

Royals looking very beatable compared to last season

Yop. Pennant looks wide open.

[Chris]

Yop. Pennant looks wide open.

Hope we win tomorrow with Hamels, and have Colby pitch back in Texas for the clincher. Rest on our laurels while Houston and Kansas City take it to 5 grueling games.

[Jacob1983]

Astros look scary.

[Robz4000]

Astros look scary.

Eh, I think it's more of the Royals and Blue Jays being overhyped, but you can't deny they look ready to win now.

[Caltex2]

Statistically (Pythagorean W/L), the Astos were a 93 win team. They lost more than their share of close games and it cost them the division and nearly a playoff spot.

[Biernutz]

Astros taking it to K.C. :bobo

[djohn2oo8]

Astros taking it to K.C. :bobo

I don't trust Kazmir though. He has been hot garbage the last month.

[Pelicans78]

Eh, I think it's more of the Royals and Blue Jays being overhyped, but you can't deny they look ready to win now.

It's more about the playoffs being unpredictable and how baseball teams get hot and cold at certain times. This Royals team is better overall than last year's team, but they had a magical ride thru the postseason last year. The Blue Jays were the hottest team in baseball in the 2nd half but they slowed down the last week or so. Also the Royals had a huge lead all season in the beginning of September and started to rest guys this month and it cost them momentum which is why they had a month. Still one win today and the Royals are back in the series.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Toronto

[resistanze]

:lmao Choke Jays

[HarlemHeat37]

Toronto teams just can't help but choke, it's ridiculous, even a dominant team like the Jays:lol..

[Robz4000]

Blue Jays are the very definition of a regular season team, similar to the Yankees of a few years ago (2010 iirc). Heavily reliant on the long ball, overrated starting pitching, terrible bullpen, and below-average fielding.

[Robz4000]

Rangers doing their own choking though...

[Robz4000]

:lol Hamels getting rocked

[resistanze]

Bats waking up

[resistanze]

Hamels looking like fried shit, especially with the small strike zone

[Robz4000]

Welp, game starts over from here.

[Robz4000]

Man, the Rangers' big bats have been worthless so far this series (outside Beltre's few appearances).

[resistanze]

Those bats doe

[Robz4000]

:lmao Hamilton

[Robz4000]

Please take Stroman out.

[Robz4000]

God damnit Fielder

[Robz4000]

Napoli!!!

[Pelicans78]

That Jays pen does it again.

[midnightpulp]

Feel a 12 inning game coming.

[Robz4000]

If the Rangers can get through Donaldson, Bautista, Encarnacion, and Tulo one more time without surrendering a run I think they'll get it. Then again outside Choo their vet bats have sucked ass.

[Robz4000]

:lol Also, god damn these announcers aren't even trying to hide who they're rooting for.

[Robz4000]

Oh fuck, could Beltre come to bat?

[midnightpulp]

Oh fuck, could Beltre come to bat?

Nah. Albert Belle :^)

[Robz4000]

Now or never, Hamilton

[Chris]

damn

[Robz4000]

Never it is

[Chris]

:lol Also, god damn these announcers aren't even trying to hide who they're rooting for.

These announcers act like they don't know the fundamentals of baseball. They always hedge their shit

[Robz4000]

Aw fuck, here's Tolleson

[Chris]

These Blue Jays are the biggest bunch of cry babies you ever saw :lol

[Chris]

Complaining on definite strikes

[Robz4000]

Damn, that was impressive by Tolleson.

[Pelicans78]

Royals starters are gonna get the team swept. Pathetic.

[AlexJones]

CROFL Johnny Cueto

[Pelicans78]

Nice blast by Perez. Time to get more.

[Chris]

Battle of attrition in Toronto

[Pelicans78]

Gordon looks terrible at the plate.

[Pelicans78]

Still don't trust Cueto at this point to pitch anymore clean innings. He's barely using his secondary stuff.

[Pelicans78]

Yup. Rasmus gets us again. Fuck.

[Robz4000]

If the Rangers don't score in this inning, Blue Jays win.

[Pelicans78]

Man Zobrist hit it hard but into a double play.

[Robz4000]

Welp.

[Pelicans78]

Horrible swing by Cain. Going for the dame home run.

[Pelicans78]

Goog quick inning by Cueto. Only 2 runs down. They're getting good swings today.

[Pelicans78]

Man Morales sucks today after a great game one.

[Robz4000]

Damn, thought that was it.

[Chris]

phew :lol

[Pelicans78]

Man, already 5th inning.

[Pelicans78]

Seems like no one likes the Blue Jays.

[Chris]

We about to get screwed I can feel it

[Chris]

SAFE!

[Robz4000]

ODOR!!

[Chris]

!!!!!!

[Chris]

Hanser Solo with the clutch hit :cry

[Chris]

FUCK YEAH DeShields!!

[Robz4000]

DeShields!!!!

[Robz4000]

Hopefully two runs is enough...

[Pelicans78]

Crap time is running out. Offense not coming thru after Cueto finally gets going.

[HarlemHeat37]

Blue Jays getting destroyed by the umpires, tbh..

[Chris]

cmon Ohle

[Chris]

Blue Jays getting destroyed by the umpires, tbh..

That was a bad call but his strike zone has been consistent all game

[HarlemHeat37]

I got a hookup for 4 tix for the first 2 games, good decision to sell them:lol..

[Chris]

Chickenshit stuck his arm out to get hit

[Robz4000]

Fuck

[Chris]

!@#$% YES

[Robz4000]

Yeah

[Chris]

lmao Fielder

[Pelicans78]

Big win by Rangers. Home teams are about to go 0-2 in the AL.

[Pelicans78]

Cueto's finally settled down. Hopefully not too little too late. Need to score runs!!!!!

[AlexJones]

Blue Jays are not done imo. Texas is pitching a lefty scrub for game 3 and then either Holland or Lewis for game 4.

Hard for KC to come back if they go down 2-0 to face Kuechel in Houston

[Pelicans78]

Fuck yeah Cain! Come on offense. Let's do this.

[Pelicans78]

Blue Jays are not done imo. Texas is pitching a lefty scrub for game 3 and then either Holland or Lewis for game 4.

Hard for KC to come back if they go down 2-0 to face Kuechel in Houston

Yeah I agree. Blue Jays are still a strong team and have an advantage the next two games.

[Robz4000]

Blue Jays are not done imo. Texas is pitching a lefty scrub for game 3 and then either Holland or Lewis for game 4.

Hard for KC to come back if they go down 2-0 to face Kuechel in Houston

Perez has been pretty great this year, especially at home. Plus they're up 2-0 with the majority of their offense sputtering. Toronto's offense is due to get going too, but it won't be due to Perez/Holland/Lewis sucking.

[Pelicans78]

Yes, flukey bloop hit scores a run!!!!

[Pelicans78]

Another seeing-eye single!!!!!

[Robz4000]

This Astros/Royals game is getting gut.

[Pelicans78]

Yes Moose with the walk!

Perez is a DP candidate. Needs to go for a pitch up in the zone and at least get a sac fly.

[Pelicans78]

What a disaster sequence by Fields.

[Pelicans78]

Fuck Gordon.

[midnightpulp]

Damn, missed a chance to break it open. At least the Royals are back in it.

[Pelicans78]

Fuuckkk!!!!!! Bases loaded and one out and couldn't get anymore runs. Ughhhh.

Time for the bullpen to come thru.

[Pelicans78]

Damn, missed a chance to break it open. At least the Royals are back in it.

Yeah I'm glad its tied, but having a nice lead would have set it up for the bullpen.

[midnightpulp]

Lead off trips.

[midnightpulp]

And the lead...

[Chris]

Really want this series to go 5 games considering the circumstances

[Pelicans78]

That was huge by Herrera and Madsen to hold the lead for Wade Davis. Hopefully he's not too rusty after the long lay off.

[Pelicans78]

Bad AB by Orlando may have cost the Royals a run.

Well the Royals have them where they want them by Wade Davis having a lead in the 9th.

[Chris]

lol Holland

652556475009642496

[Pelicans78]

Ugh walk.

[Pelicans78]

Oh wow, he's out!!!!

[Chris]

Yep he's out gotheem lol

[Pelicans78]

Yes!!!!!

[midnightpulp]

Out!

[Pelicans78]

Challenge Altuve. Go after him.

[Pelicans78]

Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pelicans78]

Huge win by the boys in blue.

[Pelicans78]

Good to see Cueto bounce back strong the last 3 innings.

[Robz4000]

Good shit by the Royals

[Robz4000]

No Cub fans on here?

[Pelicans78]

No Cub fans on here?

They've killed themselves a long time ago.

[Chris]

Do a barrel roll!

Fucking Mattingly

[AlexJones]

I swear to god if it goes 5 and Mattingly doesn't start Greinke in game 5

[td4mvp2k]

dodgers must know its the playoff tbh

[lefty]

:lol fatasses

[Robz4000]

:lmao Kershaw

[Robz4000]

Good win by the Cubs. Arietta will win them Game 3 so it'll be up to the rest of the team to win one of the next two.

[Benoit]

:lmao Dodgers
:lmao two aces

[Pelicans78]

Bullshit slide by Utley. He deserves to get his ass kicked.

[midnightpulp]

I'll take 'em anyway I can get them :lol

Dodgers got some Lakers favoritism there for once.

[Mugen]

:lol that dirty AF slide by Utley.....I'll take it tbh. Doyeeeeeers

[Robz4000]

Fuck the Doyers. Then again, fuck the Mest too. Only likeable team in the NL is the Cusb.

[midnightpulp]

Fuck the Doyers. Then again, fuck the Mest too. Only likeable team in the NL is the Cusb.

You over on /sp/, too?

[Robz4000]

You over on /sp/, too?

Always

[AlexJones]

Banister is making a huge mistake going with Perez and Holland for 3 and 4 imo. Can't go with 2 lefties in a row vs the Jays. Lewis should be going.

Martin Perez vs RHH: .777 OPS
Derek Holland vs RHH: .858 OPS
Colby Lewis vs RHH: .717 OPS

[Jacob1983]

Isn't the runner supposed to do whatever it takes to break up the double play? People are wimps. It was a shitty slide but that's the way baseball go.
Cubs definitely got to win game 3. I can't stand the Cardinals.

[Robz4000]

Banister has made the right decisions most of the season, so I trust him now as well. Perez has been great as of late, so we'll see how he does; considering Globe Life Park is as hitter-friendly as it is, the Rangers' bats are gonna have to wake up if they have any hope of closing out the series in the next two games.

[Pelicans78]

No he can't do whatever it takes since there's a rule. Guy thrusted both legs in the air and wasn't even close to the base path. Should have been called out on that play for sure but the umpire is retarded.

[djohn2oo8]

Just one more win. MUST finish it off tomorrow.

[Pelicans78]

Can't win a game when you leave 10 runners on base. Opportunities were there the whole game. Frustrating loss. Expected loss but still frustrating.

[Pelicans78]

Can't believe tomorrow's game is at 12pm.

[Robz4000]

Can't believe tomorrow's game is at 12pm.

Welcome to Ranger fan's world.

[AlexJones]

Fucking bullshit. Jesus Christ, Jays should be up by 5 right now if it weren't for the missed balk call

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Every single bounce and call has gone the Rangers' way this series, it's getting on time for a regression to the mean, tbh.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Rangers offense

[Robz4000]

Also, holy fuck Perez I backed you and you shit out this gem.

[AlexJones]

4 double plays lmao. Rangers gotta be the luckiest team of all time

[Robz4000]

Welp, on to the next one...

[AlexJones]

TULOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Clipper Nation]

Glad to see the flukes run out for Texas.

[Jacob1983]

ROFL Rangers the luckiest team of all time? The 2011 Cardinals say hi.

[Biernutz]

Astros take K.C. 4-2 with Dallas Keuchel getting the win .......game 4 on Monday

[djohn2oo8]

Astros take K.C. 4-2 with Dallas Keuchel getting the win .......game 4 on Monday

Off of work, will be at the game. Hope they finish it off.

[Pelicans78]

Hope Ventura can come thru like he did last year in Game 6 of the World Series.

[Pelicans78]

Royals offense needs to come out early and get some runs. Take pressure off of Ventura. They had some good ABs against Keuchel. Just couldn't produce with runners in scoring position.

[Robz4000]

Congrats Astros fans

[midnightpulp]

All Texas LCS?

[Robz4000]

All Texas LCS?

Could be fun. Lets see if the Rangers can do their part in a bit.

[Robz4000]

Whoops, might've spoken too soon.

[Robz4000]

:lol holy crap Houston, how'd you get into this mess?

[midnightpulp]

Uh oh. Royals got life.

[resistanze]

:lmao Stros

[resistanze]

Jays long ball is back

[midnightpulp]

Wow!!!!

[resistanze]

:lmao Stros

[midnightpulp]

This is Dodgers level choking here.

[Robz4000]

God damnit Rangers

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don't know if the Rangers can outscore the Jays considering how warm it is in Texas right now. If they can keep the Jays under 5 runs they can do it but Holland may need to come out.

[Robz4000]

The Rangers' offense has died. This is going to Game 5; Hamels better be ready to throw an absolute monster of a game or they're getting backdoor'd.

[Robz4000]

Jesus Christ Holland, I didn't think anyone could pitch worse than Martin did last night but you're proving me wrong.

[resistanze]

lol Holland

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[Pelicans78]

Up to the best reliever in baseball the last two years to win this game. He already took care of them in the 8th on only 7 pitches.

[Pelicans78]

Hosmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[resistanze]

Some Texas-sized choking going on today :lol

[Pelicans78]

Come on Wade. Finish them.

[midnightpulp]

Brutal loss for the Astros. Brutal.

[Pelicans78]

Brutal loss for the Astros. Brutal.

Yeah. Feel kinda bad for Astros fans. I would root for them after the Royals. I have family and in-laws in Houston and have gone to plenty of Astros games.

[Pelicans78]

My brother and his kids went to the game.

Why is Price pitching now? Should be saved for Game 5.

[Clipper Nation]

Gibbons is the biggest retard to ever manage a baseball team. Price shouldn't even be out there right now, Dickey was doing just fine.

[resistanze]

Well we can assume Gibbons is getting fired anything short of a WS title. He's dumber than a rock.

[Clipper Nation]

Well we can assume Gibbons is getting fired anything short of a WS title. He's dumber than a rock.
Ending the Jays' playoff drought was probably enough to save his job, unfortunately. I do think Anthopoulos is secretly hoping that the Red Sox or Yankees overpay David "The Choker" Price this offseason, though. Stroman is their real ace.

[resistanze]

Why is Price pitching now? Should be saved for Game 5.

Gibbons doesn't have confidence in his ace, so he kills his confidence even more by allowing him a shaky relief appearance. But hey at least he steals the W from Dickey.

[resistanze]

Ending the Jays' playoff drought was probably enough to save his job, unfortunately. I do think Anthopoulos is secretly hoping that the Red Sox or Yankees overpay David "The Choker" Price this offseason, though. Stroman is their real ace.

And ending the drought was achieved by Gibbons doing exactly what he needed to do - getting the fuck out of the way of his own team. Then he couldn't help himself the last week of the season and loses the #1 but playing second stringers 2 straight games, benching Price for 11 days and pitching Beurhle on 1 days rest to get a meaning less streak (which he didn't get).

[Pelicans78]

I still would have started Price for Game 5.

[Robz4000]

At least the offense seemed to find itself towards the end. Hamels on the mound Wednesday with Beltre back in the lineup should give the Rangers a good chance, but Fielder needs to give them something as well.

[Robz4000]

I still would have started Price for Game 5.

I wish he were starting too.

[Clipper Nation]

Osuna is clutch as fuck and the youngest player in baseball. Great find by the Jays!

[AlexJones]

I still would have started Price for Game 5.

No question about it.

Price starts game 5, Stroman in relief. Not the other way around. I hope the Rangers make Gibby pay for this mistake. David Price is the best fucking pitcher in the American League. 12.5 WAR over last 2 years. And you make the decision over a small sample size in the postseason?

[AlexJones]

I'd laugh my ass off if Banister also fucks up and starts Gallardo instead of Cole Hamels in game5. AL managers are dumb as a rock

[AlexJones]

I do think Anthopoulos is secretly hoping that the Red Sox or Yankees overpay David "The Choker" Price this offseason, though. .

He's going to be a Cub. The Joe Maddon connection, the market, the Cubs are willing to pay. Perfect scenario

[midnightpulp]

Got a feeling Cubs are gonna get their hearts ripped out, per par. They'll probably go up 5-2 and blow it in Cubs fashion.

[td4mvp2k]

Is bartman there tonight?

[midnightpulp]

:lol Here we go. Tragedy is being set up. You just know it.

[Darth_Pelican]

Got a feeling Cubs are gonna get their hearts ripped out, per par. They'll probably go up 5-2 and blow it in Cubs fashion.

They will save the heartbreak for game 5. They will take a 2-1 series lead to make the series loss as painful as can be.

[AlexJones]

Got a feeling Cubs are gonna get their hearts ripped out, per par. They'll probably go up 5-2 and blow it in Cubs fashion.

His choking ass would fit perfectly in Shitcago, tbh.

Yep.

I guess Arrieta's roids finally wore off?

I think Darth has it right. They'll go up 2-1, and will probably be a strike away tomorrow at home to advance or something, and then blow it. THen go to St. Louis and get crushed.

AJ Hinch has to be the worst manager in baseball. Cost the team a trip to the ALCS.

That was some painful shit. Condolences.

LOL Mattingly batting Jimmy Rollins 2nd. .280 OBP. What a fucking tard.

[Robz4000]

No question about it.

Price starts game 5, Stroman in relief. Not the other way around. I hope the Rangers make Gibby pay for this mistake. David Price is the best fucking pitcher in the American League. 12.5 WAR over last 2 years. And you make the decision over a small sample size in the postseason?

:lmao

Dodgers choking as usual. Not surprised.

:lol

Yeah. Feel kinda bad for Astros fans. I would root for them after the Royals. I have family and in-laws in Houston and have gone to plenty of Astros games.

If I said it once before, I'll say it again. This is Houston professional sports teams at their very finest. They always find a way to choke when the world is watching. :lol

Anderson is trash. Up to Kerchoke tomorrow to try and bring it back home. Only hope, even if it's on short rest.

Biggest game of Clayton Kershaw's career coming up tomorrow. This is LBJ's game 6 at Boston in 2012 territory.

Be a typical Kershaw outing probably. He'll shut the Mets down for 7 innings and then collapse.

Just pray he doesn't throw 15 straight fastballs again :lol

Cueto still worries me. I'm hoping the Royals can bust out the bats Wednesday night.

His choking ass would fit perfectly in Shitcago, tbh.

I suppose a clipper fan would know more about choking than most other fans out there. But I would still take David Price over Dan Haren.

[Jacob1983]

Do both Texas teams choke in game 5 or just one?

[td4mvp2k]

Astros look done but rangers still got a shot

Pulling for the Cubs
